Potentiall Carcinogenic in Electronic Cigarette
The electronic cigarette, which has attracted more than one million people in France, contains carcinogenic compounds in significant quantities, ensures the magazine "60 million consumers", which denounces labeling defects.
The electronic cigarette "is far from harmless gadget that we present," worries the magazine "60 million consumers" in its issue of September 2013. Noting improper labeling the content of certain products, the National Consumer Institute (INC) - which publishes the magazine "60 million consumers" - alerted authorities.
The magazine claims to have found, after testing a dozen models , disposable or rechargeable, the "carcinogenic molecules in significant amount in the vapor e-cigarette, which she had never been shown before. "So in three cases out of ten, for products with or without nicotine, formaldehyde content (commonly called formalin ) found flirt with those observed in some conventional cigarettes. "
Labeling problem
Also detected, acrolein, a toxic molecule emitted in very significant quantities by the E -Roll, and "at levels that exceed even those sometimes can be measured in smoke some cigarettes." This is likely due to a device that heats too quickly.
As for acetaldehyde, ranked possibly carcinogenic, the contents may be far from negligible identified are much lower than those observed with tobacco cigarettes . Trace metals "potentially toxic" were detected in Cigartex, which releases both nickel and chrome a real cigarette and disposable Cigway, which releases more antimony.
The review also criticized the lack of safety cap on some refills while nicotine is particularly toxic for children. Ingested high doses of certain products of the study can kill a child, says Thomas Laurenceau the editor. The magazine also noted that the dose of nicotine liquid refills does not always correspond to what is mentioned, with lower levels in all cases.
Another defect labeling : products advertised "free" which contains propylene glycol or manufacturers who "forget" to mention his presence.

The Minister of Health , Marisol Touraine, was then hammered" the electronic cigarette is not an ordinary product", sparking the ire of smoking cessation specialists, who mostly support this alternative to the traditional cigarette.
Professor Robert Molimard, a pioneer in research on smoking cessation, did not hesitate to point the finger of " probable arrangements " between European governments and pharmaceutical lobbies, who sell other alternatives to smoking such as patches and other gums nicotinées chew .
