E-cigarettes also contain nicotine

The Department of Health warns the public on the use of e-cigarette or the electronic cigarette. It does not help people quit smoking and it is not safe for human consumption.
Marketers of the e-cigarette claim that it is nicotine-free and contains E-liquid or E-juice which are organic. However, tobacco control advocates said that smokers use it since they get their nicotine fix or kick from it.
DOH regional director Rio Magpantay explained that although the e-cigarette does not emit the same odor and smoke produced by the real cigar, the vapors the e-cigarette emits have carcinogens and toxic chemicals.
The e-cigarette heats a liquid nicotine solution in a disposable cartridge, creating vapor that the smoker inhales. A tiny light on the tip glows like a real cigarette.
This product misleads smokers into believing that this is a way of smoking cessation. Tobacco control advocates wants a ban on the sale of this product since it would only promote the concept of smoking and lure teenagers to the habit.
