Study finds E-cigarettes don’t help smokers quit

[Demit]

190. Here's a little news for you, with a link: the FDA does not consider nicotine a carcinogen.

Nor does it consider it a respiratory or cardiovascular toxicant.

According to scientific studies, there are more than 7,000 chemicals in tobacco and tobacco smoke. The FDA wants companies to begin reporting quantities of 93 of these "HPHCs" (Harmful or Potentially Harmful Constituents), which it identifies in five different ways: Carcinogens, Respiratory Toxicants, Cardiovascular Toxicants, Reproductive or Developmental Toxicants, Addictive.

Nicotine is on the list. But the FDA identifies it only as a Reproductive or Developmental Toxicant, and as Addictive. That’s it. It does NOT classify nicotine as a Carcinogen, or a Respiratory Toxicant, or a Cardiovascular Toxicant. Got that?

The above information is on FDA's own website. Here's the list: http://www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/ucm297786.htm

I hope you will check for yourself. You have been misinformed about what nicotine does.
