"There is no uniform certification for e-cigarettes, but both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Association for clinical optimization and drug management (PMA) have acknowledged that cigr8 e-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes. This is not a simple opinion, it is based on the conclusion of the study, which has also been supported by the British tobacco control organization.
