Electronic cigarettes should be banned

 Electronic cigarettes have been touted as the next big thing in smoking cessation. However, evidence on their use is still fragmentary. The Forum of International Respiratory Societies has published a position paper on the role of electronic cigarettes in this context. And what is the conclusion?  As follows - electronic devices should be banned till further evidence is available!!

The article has been published in the latest issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. The link to the abstract is as follows: http://www.atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1164/rccm.201407-1198PP#.U7-P3rGjfJV
