Fewer Negative Health Effects?
The sellers of e-cigs and vaping in general, have been promoting their products as a healthier alternative to smoking. Though there is still much controversy surrounding this issue, some researchers have concluded that some of the adverse effects associated with cigarettes do not pertain to vaping.
