Smoking of any kind has been banned from all North Carolina jails and prisons since March of 2010. Since then, according to Eddie Caldwell Director of the North Carolina Sherriff’s association, “jail staff have to contend with inmates suffering from nicotine withdrawal.” Which can potentially cause unneeded conflict between jail staff and inmates. Some county jails have turned to electronic cigarettes as the solution, and as Caldwell further states “There are a number of jails across the state that allow their inmates to purchase these e-cigarettes.” Much of the reasoning behind this decision according to Caldwell is officer safety, and that “traditional cigarettes create a risk of fire, the risk of secondhand smoke and other things like that,” Caldwell said, “that at least as far as I’ve heard are not a problem with e-cigarettes.”

Anecdotes are in fact data. Of course, what you do with that data and how you interpret it is affected by the nature of how the data were obtained. But anecdotes are data. Remember, the connection between smoking and lung cancer itself was first uncovered by a case series. Physicians started to note multiple cases of lung cancer - which was very rare at the time - all occurring in smokers. While these patients could be called "anecdotes," they were also people who provided very real and important data that led to the discovery that smoking causes lung cancer. That connection would not have been found had these "anecdotes" been dismissed.

According to a "" on the Americans for Nonsmokers Rights (ANR) web site, short-term use of electronic cigarettes impairs lung function and can cause difficulty breathing:
