Different strokes for different folks! Anecdotal evidence suggests that they are more helpful than both NRT and the potentially killer drugs Zyban and Chantrix/Champix. It begs the question of why is Tobacco Control so intent on banning them. If TC are genuinely concerned about the health of the nation, they would support any method of reducing the harm from smoking. Could it be that the TC 'approved' methods are manufactured by their sponsors and paymasters and e-cigarettes are not?

What is the difference of primary smoking and secondary smoking?

The difference between primary and secondary smoking is very simple. Primary smoking is actually smoking the cigarette yourself, whereas secondary or second hand smoking is inhaling fumes of other smokers around you, whilst you are not actually smoking the cigarette. That is why the smoking ban was introduced and more and more smokers are smoking in smoking shelters. Which, not only provides shelter for them when they are smoking outside, but it also protects non smokers from the harmful fumes.

Does a landlord have the right to ban you for smoking an electric or electronic cigarette?

Sort of an odd question - BUT- if the electric cigarette produces smoke and the lease prohibits smoking on the premises I would have to say he is within his rights. However, the "Electronic Cigarette" does not produce smoke. It produces a water based vapor mist, similar to that of a baby's vaporizer; there is no flame, no burning and no combustion therefore it can not be defined as smoking. The definition of smoking (as related to cigarettes) is the inhalation of the smoke of burning tobacco encased in cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. This burning of paper, tobacco etc... is defined as " vaporous matter arising from something burning and made visible by minute particles of carbon suspended in it". Since the Electronic Cigarette burns nothing, it produces no smoke. According to "TSA" a division of "Home Land Security" the Electronic Cigarette is not classified as a smoking device. The Electronic Cigarette can be best described as a "Nicotine Delivery System" void of tobacco, tar or carcinogens. In this case the best way to deal with your landlord is through education. The bottom line is however, you never want to get on your landlord's bad side. Smokers of the electronic cigarette will get lots of looks... be asked lots of questions..., and in some cases even be asked to stop. Unless they themselves become educated and are able to explain the product, they themselves could very easily be confused with "traditional smokers". Always let common sense prevail.

How much healthier is a hookah?

Not at all. Hookah smoking is not safer than cigarette smoking. The tobacco is no less toxic in a hookah pipe, and the water in the hookah does not filter out the toxic ingredients in the tobacco smoke. Hookah smokers may actually inhale more tobacco smoke than cigarette smokers do because of the large volume of smoke they inhale in one smoking session, which can last as long as 60 minutes.
