A dohányzást korlátozó szigorítások hatására csökkenő dohányzási arány vezette a gyártókat egy új nikotinélvezeti forma, az elektronikus cigaretta (e-cigaretta) világszintű elterjesztésére. Jelen áttekintés a PubMed adatbázisban lévő publikációk, valamint hazai és nemzetközi tudományos intézetek honlapján közölt összefoglalók és felmérések anyagán alapul. Az e-cigaretta összetételéről és egészségkárosító hatásáról meglévő ismeretek alapján kijelenthető, hogy nem ártalmatlan termék, egyaránt károsan hat a használója és a párát passzívan belélegzők egészségére. Kellően alátámasztott tudományos bizonyítékok továbbra sem igazolják az e-cigaretta előnyeit a leszokás támogatásában, ugyanakkor bizonyított, hogy fenntartja a nikotinfüggőséget, és különösen fiatalok esetében növelheti a rászokás kockázatát. A dohányzás visszaszorítása és a leszokás támogatása céljából hozott intézkedések hatékonyságának szavatolása érdekében kívánatos, hogy az e-cigarettára ugyanazok a szabályok vonatkozzanak, mint a hagyományos dohánytermékekre.
