Is Nicotine harmful?
Nicotine has not been found to be either carcinogenic or have mutagenic properties.
Nicotine has been considered similar to caffeine in it's effect on the body as caffeine and nicotine are both vasoconstrictors. Both caffeine and nicotine have similar long terms effects on the body such as higher blood pressure. Many eSmokers however, have observed that their blood pressure has decreased since they switched from smoking to eSmoking.
Humans and mammals test positive for nicotine in the bloodstream, in very small amounts, since it is a common ingredient in vegetables.
Is Nicotine addictive?
Technically, nicotine is not significantly addictive, as nicotine administered alone does not produce significant reinforcing properties. However, after coadministration with an MAOI, such as those found in tobacco, nicotine produces significant behavioural sensitization, a measure of addiction potential. It is thought that the powerful interaction between the MAOI's and the nicotine is responsible for most of the addictive properties of tobacco smoking. This is similar in effect to amphetamine. eSmokes DO NOT contain MAOI’s.
What is Propylene Glycol and is it safe?
Propylene glycol, the current dominating liquid base, has been utilized in asthma inhalers and nebulizers since the 1950s, and because of its water-retaining properties, is the compound of choice for delivering atomized medication. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes propylene glycol on its list of substances Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), and it meets the requirements of acceptable compounds within Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Propylene glycol is also used:
• As a moisturizer in medicines, cosmetics, food, toothpaste, shampoo, mouth wash, hair care and tobacco products
• As a solvent in many pharmaceuticals, including oral, injectable and topical formulations. Notably, diazepam, which is insoluble in water, uses propylene glycol as its solvent in its clinical, injectable form.
• As a solvent for food colors and flavorings

Do eSmokes produce smoke?
No, eSmokes produces a vapour that looks like smoke but disappears in seconds.
Can I use an eSmoke anywhere?
eSmoke is not a traditional cigarette and does not burn tobacco, so it can be smoked in bars, restaurants, planes and offices and other places where normal smoking bans are in effect. eSmokes produce an odourless vapour that disappears in several seconds, unlike cigarette smoke.
Why is the light on the end of the V6 eSmoke come in blue?
You can choose a blue tip eSmoke to alleviate any concerns people may have that you are smoking a real cigarette in areas where you typically cannot smoke traditional cigarettes. The eSmoke light lets them know you are not smoking a cigarette.
Can I quit with eSmokes?
As published in early 2011 by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, nearly one-third (31%) of those who tried e-cigarettes reported that they quit smoking cigarettes within six months of use. As a quitting mechanism, electronic cigarettes have fared better than other methods like nicotine gums and nicotine patches, which had a success rate below 20%. This evidence strongly suggests how effective electronic cigarettes can be in tobacco cigarette cessation.
