An electronic cigarette or (e-cig) is an alternative to
smoking tobacco products such as the traditional cigarette, pipe or
cigars. The e-cig is not banned under the smoking ban and is quickly
becoming the smoker's choice as an
alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes.
Rather than inhaling toxic smoke, this battery powered device allows you to
breathe in vaporized nicotine. The electronic cigarette looks, feels and works just like a
real cigarette.
As the e-cig doesn't contain any tobacco you are legally allowed to smoke it anywhere you
want. The current Canadian smoking bans won't affect you.
e-cig vapour tastes like a smoke, but without tobacco and smoke.
