Someone else mentioned that to me recently and I searched about it. Articles say only the high-voltage battery e-cigs and atomizers may emit formaldehyde. The low-volt battery e-cig don't.
I've used only a basic unit, a pencil shaped and sized one with a cartridge. Some use the big tank atomizers with liquid nicotine or flavors, that create a very thick cloud vapor. Those are the ones that are in question.
I've been getting that same ad on here and on other sites, including my Yahoo email account. It makes me sick to look at it & clicking on their options to stop it doesn't work.
Also, the ad on here of half-naked woman, saying if shy don't click here is annoying. Why would they keep putting that ad on a woman's account here?
WOW!!! You've done excellent to have stayed off cigs for almost 1 year! You have great insight to the way smoking is about one cig meant a hundred, which is never enough, so keep away from the one! Thanks for posting your experience. You are very encouraging! :)
Why didn't the e-cigs work for you? Maybe you used a brand that didn't have enough good choices for tobacco taste. I think V2 has a lot of tobacco choices and also, VUSE has a rich tobacco taste, but with 4.8 nicotine.
Congrats Pogo!!! One year without smoking cigs is a high accomplishment. Since you have dropped to only vape, your only concern in continuing would be the ongoing expense. Your story is truly inspiring! :)
Yes, using e-cigs is a lot better for a person's health than continuing to smoke regular cigarettes that create and put carbon monoxide, tar and toxins in their body. E-cigs come in different levels of nicotine, high, medium, low and even 0-nicotine. Nicotine is not cancer-causing like the above mentioned ingredients of tobacco cigarettes.
E-cigs also don't create the second-hand smoke all over the place and don't leave an offensive odor. Even smokers don't like those aspects of smoking regular cigs.
Plus, e-cigs are a lot cheaper than regular cigs, after you buy the starter kit.
I've read you can find some really good tasting tobacco-flavored cartridges and/or liquids depending on the brand of e-cig or vaporizer you use. I stay with flavors of vanilla, clove, blueberry so I'm not exposed to the taste and smell of tobacco. I'm afraid it will make me start thinking of a real cig again.
Yes it is cycling friendly and just about any kind of sports friendly too. Also, dog, cat, horse, etc. friendly, but lots of mountain lions and bears roaming around here freely than can create a hazard.
So glad we are inspiring smokers to try to switch over. Is much healthier way to deal with smoking habit. Creating this Poll and receiving all this feedback is helping me too, verifying that the e-cig continues to work in the long run.
Congrats!!!! almost 4 months without smoking regular cigs is a very long time. Is really good you are almost off the e-cigs too. Is very wise to always have e-cigs with you though, in case you feel you need something, is better to inhale from an e-cig than a real one.
The point in using e-cigs is it has a lot of advantages which smoking regular cigs don't. It doesn't create smoke, only a water vapor which dissipates immediately, and usually isn't noticeable, plus it doesn't leave any odor. For this reason, the smoker can smoke (vape) inside their home, public places, including work places.
For health concerns, the vaper doesn't take in carbon monoxide, tar and toxins which they do when smoking regular cigs. They are actually cheaper in price than regular cigs.
You're right, smoking may no longer be an accurate reference to them, the new reference is called 'vaping'
I wish you success in converting over entirely to vaping. It should be easy if you can find the flavors you like. Do you like the taste and flavor of the tobacco, or other flavors, vanilla, clove, etc.?
It would be great if you could switch over to e-cigs all the time. They are actually cheaper. No carbon monoxide, tar and toxins, plus if you wanted to quit smoking entirely, e-cigs are much easier way to do so!
Just copy/paste the url links into your address bar if you're interested in watching the videos. The automatic links didn't work, I think because of the s in the http, idk!
Here are some videos from youtube about the e-cigarette for people who don't know exactly what they are, and doctors and specialists all agree they are a lot safer than tobacco regular cigarettes, and are effective in stopping smoking entirely.

Dr. Michael Siegel, Boston University School of Public Health:
E-cigs don't have the carbon monoxide, tar and toxins that smoking tobacco does. Google online about what is known about e-cigs. youtube has a lot of videos interviewing doctors who all say e-cigs are safe and a lot better choice than regular cigarettes.
E-cigs are definitely worth a try. They can help a lot of people cut down on the number of regular cigarettes they smoke, and some convert over to only smoking E-cigs.
