-
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and other heated tobacco delivery devices are harmful and they don't help people quit smoking, the European Respiratory Society (ERS) says in a new statement. The international group of respiratory doctors and scientists said that programs that use the devices to help smokers quit "are based on incorrect assumptions and undocumented claims."
