A chemical believed to be carcinogenic has been detected in electronic cigarettes, casting further doubts on how safe it is to use them.<br />
<br />
Glycidol – designated by the World Health Organisation as a “probable carcinogen” – and acrolein, an irritant to the eyes and respiratory system, are the latest potentially harmful compounds found in e-cigs. Scientists will try to determine if the components occur in quantities to cause problems to users.<br />

A new state law taking effect July 1 requires all e-cigarette manufacturers and retailers to have a state permit to do business.
