CCTV captures the moment an e-cigarette battery explodes next to baby's pram

E-cigs should go the way of the skinny jeans, man buns, those black rimmed glasses etc

Why? They're helping a lot of people quit analogs and they're a safer alternative.

You mean helping those who don't actually want to quit?

Now THERE's a great example of "fake news". Both the CDC & Chemical Institute have listed just a few of the dangerous chemicals involved. NO chemical taken into the lungs is completely safe, even those used for medical treatment have limited side effects and the excuse that an e-cigarette is helpful to those that want to quit smoking is bunk. It's a crutch that serves no purpose other than delay the process which, as a former smoker, I know all too well.

If you are vaping, you haven't quit. I would say that make anyone fake when they say they quit but continue to rely on a substitute.

Vaping isn't smoking. Cigarettes contain 4,000+ chemicals, e-juice contains 4 (which are all harmless) . I might still be addicted to nicotine, but nicotine by itself isn't harmful when inhaled or delivered transdermally. Nicotine has been scientifically proven to be one of the only drugs that boosts brain function, helps you think, and helps you focus. It's the 4,000 other chemicals in cigarette smoke that do the damage.
