E-Smoking in the Car a Better Alternative?

By , About.com GuideOctober 8, 2012

As a smoking alternative, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have been gaining popularity as a "healthier" choice over traditional cigarettes.

About.com Guide to Cars, Aaron Gold recently put up a blog post exploring the idea of e-smoking in the car as a better alternative to cigarette smoking and asked for reader's thoughts on the subject.

While e-cigarettes do contain nicotine and TSNAs, they lack the literally thousands of other dangerous chemicals cigarettes have in them.  However, while they may seem safer, it is important to remember that at this point in time they are not a regulated product and are not considered a smoking cessation aid either.
