Study Shows Toxicity levels in e-cigarettes 100 times lower

Today a study released by the New Zealand Medical Journal found that e-cigarettes contain 100x lower toxicity level than normal “combustable” cigarettes.
The study concluded that nicotine levels were half-to-two thirds that of a normal cigarette, but toxicity levels were 100 times lower than a regular Marlboro cigarette.
During the study;
on average they had 0.93 percent of the formaldehyde, 0.04 percent of the acetaldehyde and 0.43 percent of the acrolein of a normal, ”combustible” Marlboro king size filter cigarette.
The author of the study Author Murray Laugesen went so far as to stating;
The nicotine levels in e-cigarettes were sufficient to help people kick the habit. This research is designed to reduce the risk of people being scared of e-cigarettes for no good reason
This goes against recent studies released by the New England Journal of Medicine claiming formaldehyde content in ecigs were even greater than regular cigarettes. This study promoted a large reaction from the ecig community claiming that the study was flawd. Which we wrote about in an article here on ecig.com.
Funny enough, the selling ecigs in New Zealand is prohibited. Is it time for them to revisit this ban?
