* "Cigarettes have the serious problem that in addition to nicotine, the smoke contains a lot of carcinogens, it contains carbon monoxide, ammonia, this means that what is really very harmful is precisely the smoke. The idea is that these people who are in these conditions, propose that they start using a substitute for cigarettes with the condition that it does less damage, for that there are the chewing gums that have been used for a long time, the patches, there are nasal sprays that contain only nicotine. Electronic cigarettes are another alternative since it is 95% less harmful than the combustion cigarette".
