Is it permissible to sell electronic cigarettes that run on batteries, with the aim of helping smokers gradually quit smoking?

The e-cigarette resembles the traditional cigarette and contains an electronic device, concentrated nicotine, and toxic substances. The Saudi Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization have warned against it due to its high toxicity and its potential to cause acute nicotine poisoning. Therefore, its use, sale, and earning from it are forbidden, for everything whose use is forbidden, its sale is also forbidden. This is a reprehensible deception. The claim that it helps in quitting smoking is a lie promoted by companies, which experts from the World Health Organization have denied. Its composition includes toxic substances like tobacco and nicotine, and for these reasons, it is haram (definition) (forbidden).
