Acupuncture – reduces cravings and alleviates withdrawal symptoms.

Battery operated devices designed to look like

regular tobacco cigarettes that contain

liquid nicotine. How they work:•The user inhales through a mouthpiece.

•Air flow triggers a sensor that switches on a battery powered heater.

•The heater vaporizes liquid nicotine in a small cartridge.

•The user gets a puff of hot vapor(containing chemicals to create the appearance of smoke) that feels a lot like tobacco smoke.

•When the user exhales, there is a cloud of vapor that looks like smoke.

Good• Allows users to stop

inhaling the tars in regular cigarettes.

• Provides enhanced smoking sensation, allowing users to smoke less but feel the same effects.

• For smokers who want to quit, may help people quit through “nicotine free” or “light nicotine” options.

Bad• E-Cigs are currently

unregulated, meaning there is no law forcing manufacturers to disclose what other chemicals you are actually inhaling.

• Liquid nicotine is the most potent form of nicotine and can even be lethal.

• Young people are attempting to bypass the vapor and drink the liquid nicotine with deadly consequences.
