What Is The Treatment For Partially Collapsed Lung?

Hi, i recently suffered a partially collapsed lung. I spent a couple days in the hospital with a chest tube and now im out and feeling fine. The doctor told me to quit smoking and its been tough. I was wondering if those electronic cigarettes are safe and if theyd have any affect on my lung?
