While I don’t necessarily warn against nicotine I don’t suggest e-cigs as a delivery mechanism. The rapid to-the-lungs delivery has addictive potential—nothing like a cigarette but still in contrast to a patch. The ‘burst’ of nicotine is also less useful therapeutically than the more mild but longer lasting effect of a patch or even lozenge.
Yes, as I said: the delivery mechanism (lungs direct to brain) is just like crack, and that’s why you (or I, at least) crave the hit months after the addiction is out of your body. This is why they are for people who are already addicts but want to reduce the harm.
