The Doctors TV show named electronic cigarettes ninth in their Top 10 Health Trends for 2009, giving them a particularly positive review in an all new episode on Wednesday last week. I did happen to catch this episode while in a waiting lounge and was thrilled about what they revealed on the show.

This is a fantastic endorsement of the potential health merits of the devices. The next exciting thing I spotted was all the doctors on the TV show gave the electronic cigarettes and an electrical cigar a try. They each took many drags, with the exception of Dr Lisa Masterson who completely was faking taking a drag hardly letting her lips touch the electrical cigar.

Skeptics of the potential health benefits should also take note:.Not one of the Doctors on The Doctors Television show are smokers but they went and did try the devices, while I find that many of the people I converse with ( not doctors by any means ) are frightened to even try taking a drag off one of the cartridges that contains absolutely no nicotine.

Now the doctors did give an electronic cigarette to a smoker and let her try it before filming the show and then invited her into the studio audience to give her view. The smoker said that, “she would definitely recommend them.”.

Keep in mind that regular cigarettes are not FDA approved and never will be. In fact, regular cigarettes bear that all too familiar surgeon general’s warning. I am always explianing this to people whenever they suggest that electronic cigarettes need to be FDA licensed to be legally sold in the U.S.A.

Though I’ve been labeled as an optimist by most I do need to temper this post with a little fact. The Doctors Television show did say a few things that were either wrong or misleading that might have you doubting their credibility. First, The Doctors review said that the products aren’t yet available in the US. Wrong! There are lots of suppliers here. Some of them are even selling thousands of units a month. The second misleading thing the Doctors Television show claimed is that the starter kit would cost $150. In reality I say they average less then half that cost. So whether you like The Doctors Television show or not doesn’t change the facts.

The second misleading thing the Doctors TV show declared is that the starter kit would cost $150. In reality I’d say they average less then half that cost ( which would be $75 according to my calculator ). So whether you like The Doctors Television show or not doesn’t change the facts. They listed electronic cigarettes as their ninth health trend to look out for in 2009 and I’m exited to see this year shaping up quite nicely already for the e smoking community.
