I am sorry for his death. Some of us are addicts. He did not think; when he had his oxygen and something flammable in his room. I hope he rests in peace.

The dangers of smoking when using oxygen are the same for ecigs as they are with ordinary cigs. Check with your oxygen supplier. In UK 02 suppliers advise about the dangers of using ecigs when on oxygen.

In addition there is evidence that e-cigs can also damage the lungs. It depends I think if (non oxygen users) use them just to stop smoking and then stop using e cigs, but if the e cigs are used ongoing in place of a cigarette month after month, year after year, then their is a much higher risk of lung damage, that is how I understand it.

I believe there is an FDA document about ecig toxins also.

I also quit using them....fortunately I bought a top-range item and also dropped my nic from 24 to 0 over 3 months....

The biggest issue is with those that use the e-cig as a hobby....They attach all manner of mods similar to hotting up a standard car....

I do agree however that the smoking addiction can pass itself on to the e-cig esp. if one may have an addictive personality and use it more as a replacement rather than a ''have to''

Just my thoughts on a rather debatable subject.. PETER
