ABSTRACT
Electronic cigarettes are, globally, continuously gaining popularity among new generation. Some public health groups advocate their sale as they think they are a safer alternative than traditional cigarettes while others oppose as they think that electronic cigarettes affect the behaviour of non - smoking youth. As they do not have tobacco smell it becomes easy for the young people, even in home, to use them. Unlike traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes have sleek and attractive packing and designs which make them, certainly, make them more attractive.
Key words: Electronic cigarette; Combustible cigarette; tobacco smoke.
