The Montreal Heart Institute is leader in heart disease research in the world. That hospital is the reason why I\u2019m alive today, I received a heart transplant on August 8th 2002 (nothing to do with smoking, caught a virus and got sick immediately). Here is what the cardiologist had to say about e-cigs (It\u2019s a free translation from French to English, sorry for the spelling errors, I\u2019m French Canadian lol):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The electronic cigaret, <\/p>\n<p>Smoking is one of the worst habits for your health. Smoking is the cause of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of lung cancer and many other cancers. Quitting smoking can save your life, even if you smoked for a long time. After a heart attack, quitting smoking reduces your risk of recurrence in the first six months.<\/p>\n<p> \tIf you have tried everything to quit smoking and you have failed, despite the help of patches and nicotine gums, or prescription drugs, you can try to replace tobacco cigarettes with the electronic cigarette containing nicotine.<\/p>\n<p> \tIt&#8217;s not the nicotine that kills us, but the hundreds of products of burning tobacco. Many of my patients who smoked irreducibly managed to quit smoking with the electronic cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Martin Junneau, Cardiologist<br \/>\nMontreal Heart Institute<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks for this letter Eric and I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re doing well.
