Hi kkmmnnaa2000 and pandabear! As pandabear give that link, e-cigarette is an electronic cigarette based on battery wich can help quitting smoking, i know there is available in the states and most of the european countries, so i was wondering if there is available here to, but as egyptianhisham and amarakl said, it is not yet allowed in egypt. But if you have any hints in the future, please let me know it. :)

There is also no clinical studies sufficient to demonstrate that this cigarette is a safe and effective when used as an adjunct in smoking cessation, there is no clinical studies is sufficient to prove that it is less harmful than regular cigarettes when they are used and, therefore, allow the circulation will lead to encourage non-smokers to smoking, as well as encourage smokers not to quit smoking, because it is marketed as a safe alternative to smoking, which is inconsistent with the policy of the Ministry of Health based on anti-smoking.

Hi Shorouk and thanks for the informations. I still think is just a political point of view, as long in this country more than half are smokers, so the profit is to high to get rid off by putting any products on the market wich can help the increasing population to quit this profitable habit. Anyway, i was looking for it for private use, not as business. I still want to get it, despite the warning. Beside the 100 cancerous substances from a regular cigarette, i guess i prefere the 2-3 on the other one :)

I think Egypt's new smoking law which takes full effect by 2015 is to reduce consumption within Egypt by five billion units when implemented I don't recall if they used cigarettes or le as the specified unit in the last article i read about a week ago.

and all smoking in public places will be banned when they reach the full enforcement under the new law.

I also read where they are going around Alexandria again "now" and rechecking those places they fined or warned in the past and mentioned the fines for the second violations will be doubled at least.

What they will do about shisha places? Shisha is a way of smoking to.
