What kind of trouble? Legal trouble? Health trouble? Parental trouble? Delinquency? It is illegal to buy smoking/tobacco products (including nicotine-free e-cigs) if you are under 18, but laws have never stopped teenagers from buying cigarettes, and anyway, it's the retailer who gets in trouble for selling them, not the kids who buy them.

A non-nicotine e-cig is not going to cause any health problems, as there is no smoke, or even nicotine. Parents might not like it, but I would think any reasonable parent would at least be glad that their child is using non-nicotine e-cigs, instead of smoking actual cigarettes that are addictive and harmful. Just like how any reasonable parent might be horrified to find condoms in their teenager's bedroom, but would at least be glad the kid has enough sense to use protection.

And no one has ever been able to show that smoking causes delinquency. It's true that so-called "delinquent" teens are more likely to smoke, but it's counter-intuitive to assume that the cigarettes CAUSE them to be delinquent. Tobacco is not a magic drug that makes teens rebellious; hormones do that. Rather, the fact that they are delinquent causes them to smoke.

When you decide you want to be a "bad" kid, a rebellious teen, the most common ways to do that are to go out and start smoking, drinking, using recreational drugs, and having sex. Doesn't mean these things CAUSE delinquency; it's just that so-called "delinquent" teens are more likely to be attracted to these behaviors.

If the kid is already a smoker, then it's probably a good way to get them to stop smoking, or at least to cut down.

Does blu e-cigs contain nicotine?

What is the comparison between nicotine in cigarette and nicotine in e-cigarette?

This depends on the exact cigarettes and e-cigs involved. Both types of cigarettes contain different amounts of nicotine, though some of the electronic cigarettes contain none at all - depending on which cartridge you use. With the above said, there are other considerations. The electronic cigarette cartridges will often contain more nicotine than a single cigarette because they are made to replace an entire pack or more. However, they might contain less nicotine than the number of real cigarettes they are supposed to replace because waste is minimized and less nicotine is needed to get the same effect.


How many Draws on an electronic cigarette make one cigarette?

The answer to this question relies entirely on the model and intensity of the electric cigarette compared to a standard one. In most cases, the electronic cigarette should have some means of comparison, be it on the box or in the manual somewhere.In clarification of the above statement. The average cigarette contains 11mg of nicotine, e-cigs are rated in mg's of nicotine but it normally takes about twice the standard amount because of how it is absorbed. The average smoker normally starts at 18mg or 24mg nicotine e-cigs.


Can you take e cigs on international travel?

Can a person overdose on nicotine from an electronic cigarette?

Yes. If a user ingests too much of anything (even water!), it can become toxic. However, with the nicotine amounts found in e-cigs, it would be exceedingly difficult to receive a toxic dose of nicotine, when used as directed. There are electronic cigarettes without nicotine, namely the SMOKeFREE electronic cigarette. So in this circumstance, the answer would be no. However, different brands do contain different levels of nicotine. With regular cigarettes the filter reduces the amount of nicotine one inhales however with electronic cigarettes the nicotine is obsorbed quickly through mouth, throat and lungs. The theory is that because you're inhaling more of nicotine without a filter - the higher volume you're receiving. Some say upwards of 300% volume of regular cigarettes. Research is being done by many organizations interested in knowing the answer to this question - since nicotine is considered a drug by the Food Drug Administration - I'm going to assume one can take too much and result in an overdose. However, only time and research will tell.

What are e-cigs?

E-cigs are electronic cigarettes. Instead of them producing smoke like a normal cig, they produce a vapor instead. E-cigs operate on a battery, and yes they contain nicotine. I view e-cigs as a tool to help someone quit smoking. At least you can use them in public places. However, don't be surprised if e-cigs get banned in the US soon. If someone just wants nicotine and no smoke, don't use e-cigs. Just simply eat potatoes and tomatoes since they contain nicotine too.

Is nicotine a carcinogen?

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.


Does the nicotine in electric cigarettes go in to your system?

Yes the nicotine in electronic cigarettes goes into your system... though not as quickly as with traditional cigarettes. The reason traditional cigs go into your system is because the nicotine is free based with ammonia. Ammonia + the 1000's of other chemicals are what make cigarettes way more dangerous than e-cigs...which have no known harmful effects.
