title: Are e-cigarettes a safer alternative to smoking?
abstract: Smokers appear to be using electronic cigarettes in attempts to quit but the products are currently unregulated. This article explores evidence regarding electronic nicotine delivery devices--usually known as e-cigarettes--and how this relates to clinical practice. It also discusses secondary care smoking cessation services in the light of NICE guidance.
