Recent years a number of cigarette smokers is declining. A part of ex-smokers decided to use e-cigarette nit containing tobacco. We provide a comparison of tobacco smoke and e-cigarette aerosol in respect to chemical composition, toxicity and carcinogenicity. It is stressed that all thy studied parameters were considerably lower in aerosol. The publications dealing with cancer risk following e-cigarettes smoking are not supported by broad epidemiologic data. Altogether, there appeared a hope for reduction of tobacco-smoke associated cancer.
