An electronic cigarette, also known as a personal vaporizer or e-cigarette, is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by way of a vaporized solution. It is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.

An electronic cigarette usually takes the form of some manner of elongated tube, though many are designed to resemble the outward appearance of real smoking products, like cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. Another common design is the "pen-style", so named for its visual resemblance to a ballpoint pen. Most electronic cigarettes are reusable devices with replaceable and refillable parts. A number of disposable electronic cigarettes have also been developed.

Opposing view: A much-needed alternative

By Matt Salmon

By the time you're done reading this column, combustible tobacco smoking will claim four more American lives — and a total of 440,000 lives this year.

Electronic cigarettes — battery-operated products that deliver an inhalable nicotine vapor — offer a much needed alternative.

Since 2007, nearly 1 million committed smokers have tried electronic cigarettes, known widely as electronioc cigarettes, to make the transition to a vapor alternative, while preserving their personal pleasure. Electronic cigarettes are attractive to committed smokers because smokers can use them in locations where smoking is inconvenient or prohibited. And because these products only emit a nearly odorless vapor, they are more publicly acceptable to non-smokers.
