A discussion about disadvantages of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has recently broken out. There are even opinions that they are as harmful as regular cigarettes. However, this has not been proved, and theoretical premises suggest that e-cigarettes should be definitely less harmful as while using them, tobacco is not burned and harmful substances, in particular carcinogens are not produced. Certain premises assume that e-cigarettes may be used as a new form of nicotine replacement therapy, but this has not been confirmed yet. Therefore, further research into harmfulness and safety of the use of e-cigarettes is required. This paper presents solely reasons for the possibility of recommending e-cigarettes to people addicted to nicotine.
最近关于电子烟的弊端引发了一场讨论。甚至有人认为它们与普通香烟一样有害。然而，这一点尚未得到证实，而且理论依据表明电子烟的危害肯定较小，因为使用电子烟时烟草不会燃烧，不会产生有害物质，尤其是致癌物。某些依据认为电子烟可作为尼古丁替代疗法的一种新形式，但这一点也尚未得到证实。因此，需要进一步研究使用电子烟的危害性和安全性。本文仅阐述了向尼古丁成瘾者推荐电子烟的可能性的理由。
