The electronic cigarette: a wolf in sheep's clothing

Manfred Neuberger. Wien Klin Wochenschr. 2015 May.

Abstract

The American Heart Association warned from the potential of electronic cigarettes to renormalize smoking in public and the International Respiratory Societies demanded regulation of all nicotine products as medicines or tobacco products. This review summarizes the results of studies on hazards of e-cigarette use, which has increased dramatically and may be the real threat for the achievements in tobacco control of the past 20 years.
