They are concerned about e-cigs as it is causing more people to smoke as some see it advertised as a healthy thing or at least not detrimental.

I don't care what any study says, inhaling shite into your lungs constantly is certainly not healthy although some may choose to do it.

For me personally, I am curious what kind of metal or plastic is getting effected when the e-cigs heat up to vaporize the shite or whatever they do and if those materials release and latent vapors.

The metal just has to heat up enough to vaporize the liquid. Those temps vary but I'm fairly sure (don't have BPs in front of me) it is close to water. The metal resistor isn't going to degrade at such a low temperature. Plastics could be a concern at those temperatures but if you've used one, the chamber is made of some sort of metal. Outside contamination from the materials that make it seem unlikely.

Oh and I do agree making them seem perfectly safe shouldn't be allowed in adverts. It's still addictive and it's almost certainly not equal with inhaling nothing. It beats the cloud of benzene and other carcinogens in tobacco smoke.

I think these e-cigs have room to be a helpful tool, but would be swayed by evidence to the contrary.
