The CNMI has begun to crack down on smoking which is a definite health risk. Back in September, Governor Fitial signed the "Smoking Act of 2008" into law. Smoking is currently banned in almost all public places with the exception of bars, and casinos. Smoking tobacco is linked to all types of cancer, and can release up to 4000 toxins into the body aside from nicotine, 60+ are known to be carcinogenic.
E-cigarettes have been around since 2003, however they are just becoming widely accepted. The "Blu" brand is a company in Charlotte, North Carolina that has been aggressivein marketing the e-cigarettes in the United States (made in China to U.S. standards). In Manila, smoking e-cigarettes have become so popular that there are signs posted in public places that smoking is banned "except for e-cigarettes".
E-cigarettes produce a vapor similar to fog machines and are the closest thing to actually smoking. It does contain nicotine, however it leaves out the 4000+ toxins that can cause a number of long term health problems. While the effects of taking pure nicotine have not been completely studied, it would appear that nicotine without many of the harmful chemicals is relatively better than smoking real cigarettes. Now only if they were sold here in the CNMI.
