RESUMEN

Introducción

Los cigarrillos electrónicos (CE) fueron inventados en China, entraron al mercado en 2003 y su uso se ha ido extendiendo rápidamente por todo el mundo con o sin autorización oficial gracias a una intensa publicidad y al indudable ingenio del aparato. Se crearon para reproducir la experiencia de fumar incluyendo el manejo entre los dedos, la inhalación y la exhalación de un vapor generado por un atomizador a partir de un cartucho líquido (de contenido variable), o bien de una cámara de vaporización mediante calentamiento electrónico por una batería que se activa por la inhalación o al presionar un botón.
