The Truth About Electronic Cigarettes

China.

The country that gave us killer dog food, corrosive drywall, lead-based toys, and poisonous toothpaste.

Now has a new surprise for you.

It's a mystery chemical...completely unregulated.

You buy it, vaporize it, and suck it into your lungs. And it's right here in Tucson where some fear your kids could get hold of it.

Nine on your side investigator Dan Spindle takes a look. Smokers, lighting up in the middle of the Foothills Mall, it raises more than a few eyebrows......

But what looks like smoke, is actually a vapor ...

Like the kind you might see coming out of a fog machine. This vapor is from the latest electronic cigarette to hit the market which has the green light to be sold at malls all over Arizona.

These e-cigarettes save smokers the smell and high prices of traditional smokes. Some of these smokeless smokes have come under fire in recent months from the fda in large part because one of the ingredients you'll find in them is also something you'll find in your car's radiator, it's called diethlene glycol.

Shaun Schoepflin told us, not in his brand. "When you compare their fluids to our fluids it's like comparing, for lack of a better term, toilet water to drinking water.

Which would you rather put in your body?" While Schoeflin's product sticks to the standard smoke cigarettes and minty menthol flavors, other manufacturers have been criticized for marketing their cigarettes to children by offering flavors like chocolate or fruit. Hans Houck has cut back smoking cigarettes significantly, thanks he says, in large part to e-cigarettes.

So, what about the potential long term negative effects from these relatively new products? "We smoked cigarettes with the chemicals that were in that.

I haven't really had any bad side effects and until they tell me this stuff's going to kill me, I'm going to do it," said Houck. States like California, Oregon, New Hampshire and New Jersey have already passed bans or restrictions on the sale of e-cigarettes.

Why hasn't Arizona? I put that question to Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard.

His office told me e-cigarettes are on the AG's radar and that they're watching these devices with the same cautions and concerns as with any general discount cigarettes product. "You're talking relative risk and it's probably less risky than a regular cigarette," said Dr.

Keith Kaback who helped push the Smoke Free Arizona Act in 2006 and admits no smoke, no tar and less chemicals could be a better smoking cigarettes alternative.

But what about second hand.....

vapor? Arizona law defines smoking cigarettes indoors as "inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying or possessing any lighted tobacco product". "(the language is very specific to a burning tobacco product and this isn't burning anything, really) Yeah, vaporizing instead of burning.

I think it's a potential hot topic that could lead to some further legal evaluation and i can see problems developing," Kaback said. Shaun Schoepflin hopes the FDA will analyze and approve his product for the masses.

That could take years.

Until then he'll keep selling and promoting this smokeless smoking cigarettes alternative.
