Abstract
Electronic cigarettes also known as e-cigarettes, which deliver a vaporised smoke of nicotine and promise less toxicants than conventional cigarette smoke. However, studies suggest e-cigarettes are not completely harmless but are less dangerous than traditional cigarettes. The promise of help in smoking cessation effectiveness is still unproven and requires further evidence and studies. There are ongoing studies on deleterious oral and systemic health effects.
