There is no proof that the electronic cigarette can help you quit smoking. Some believe that the e-cig actually reinforces the behaviour. Others believe there are harmful substances within many e-cigs. E-cigs are currently unregulated in Canada. There are many discussions in the forums on e-cigs you can look through. I also recommend doing some of your own research as well. I recommend using doctor or pharmacist recommended products to aid you in quitting smoking.
