Smokeless Tobacco
E-Cigarette
An e-cigarette is a
battery- powered
device that contains a
cartridge filled with
nicotine, flavor and
other chemicals.
It is not a tobacco product, but a nicotine delivery system.
The device turns the nicotine and other chemicals
into a vapor that is then inhaled by the
user.
Does not produce
smoke, it produces a
fine, heated mist.
An E-cig would be considered a form of smokeless tobacco.
Recent studies by the FDA show that the e-cig contains known
carcinogens and toxic chemicals that are
harmful to the user.
