It will cause the tip of the cigarette to heat up, burn up the amount of essential oil, create smoke and a nicotine will be put into the user's lungs.

Such devices are available everywhere, but Professor Prue Talbot said: 'There is almost no scientific study on e-cigarettes or their safety.' The research team from the University of California, Riverside decided to test this issue and buy electronic cigarette products from five different companies.

They conducted a test of the design, the brand, the nicotine component, the errors that could occur in the cigarette, such as the leaking of the essential oil box, failure . Even the details such as manuals, words commitment from manufacturers is carefully reviewed. Later, the research team found many shortcomings in many issues including necessary warnings, sketchy or confusing instructions, especially lack of accurate information about what is in the electric cigarette. death. Professor Kamlesh Asotra of the University of California confirmed that: 'customers are almost unaware of the toxicity of e-cigarettes generated by smoke'.
