- Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, as the name suggests, are battery-operated, handheld devices that are alternatives to traditional smoking of cigarettes.
- They provide nicotine via the respiratory route, without the associated ill-effects of tobacco.
- E-cigarettes, e-hookahs, e-cigars, vaporizers etc are some of the ENDS, and they are emerging as popular alternatives to smoking cigarettes.
