• • Clinical trials have now been carried out in New Zealand by Dr Murray Laugeson of Health New Zealand.
    
    The test found that the E-Cigarette was:
    
    "...very safe relative to cigarettes, and also safe in absolute terms on  all measurements we have applied. Using micro-electronics it vaporizes,  separately for each puff, very small quantities of nicotine dissolved in  propylene glycol, two small well-known molecules with excellent safety  profiles, – into a fine aerosol. Each puff contains one third to one half the  nicotine in a tobacco cigarette’s puff. The cartridge liquid is tobacco-free  and no combustion occurs."
