E-Cigarettes : Pros and Cons?

[~*Sweet Cheeks*~]

I have bought some for my boyfriend who was smoking little stinky cigars.

Have tried a few different brands to find one he likes. He is loving his KGO from Housier Ecig. $59.00 kit comes with 2 batteries that last for days. I also bought the Clearomizers that hold lots of the vapor that comes in close to 30 flavors and various nicotene strengths. He likes the USA blend 60/40, 28%, hazlenut coffee flavor. Just went to order more but they are temp. out.

He took a trip last week to San Francisco and smoked (vaped) in the airport, on the plane, in the taxi and no one said a thing to him. He finally quit buying the little cigars, so the ecig must be working for him.

I'm now working on my son and daughter to quit. I work for respiratory services and never smoked. My mom died at age 65 due to smoking.

I think anyone trying to quit should give vaping a try.

When we moved into our first house and out of a room-mate/shared living situation, I instituted a NO SMOKING in the house policy. About the same time, the E-Ciggs had come out and Mike (my other half) insisted on having one to smoke in the house. Then the next ball dropped with the higher taxes on tobacco. It was a choice between smoking or having the internet for video games. We couldn't afford so many luxury habits. So it was just the E-Cigg and the internet.

Then the E-Cigg would break, or the battery would die, or the refills wouldn't be available....so there were big lapses in having it. Then it just got to be a nuisance. He hasn't quit completely, insofar as when he is out with friends he bums from them. But at home he doesn't sit around in a nicotine fit with cravings. He's at the take 'em or leave 'em point.

I certainly don't miss cleaning cigarette butts out of his pants pockets...or finding the ones I missed when I pull clothes out of the dryer! I can accept "social smoking" for the moment, especially given that he's not a very social person. That is a MONUMENTAL step for him to make. I am SOOO HAPPY someone came up with the design! It really helps with the mental addictive part of smoking.
