The results of one FDA review of 18 different e-cigarette cartridges found toxic and carcinogenic (cancer producing) chemicals in some but not others. All but one of the cartridges labeled "no nicotine" did, in fact, contain nicotine. It is the nicotine that is addictive. And using e-cigs do not reduce the urge to smoke.
