I never tried it but when I saw the commercial I thought it was a joke. It took them longer to read all of the side effects than it did for them to pitch their product!

This article is baseless. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first e-cigarette and this propaganda is not scaring me one bit.

Maybe there is hope for this country yet if there are enough folks around who will admit error (who knows… everyone who has posted here including myself may be pulling foot from mouth before its all over with).

To those who posted studies I thank you, this is the sort of stuff that will help me make up my mind.

It was incomprehensible to me that I could ever quit and I never did, smoked solidly the entire time.

My grandmother died of lung cancer and I knew this was a stupid, stupid behavior and that I absolutely had to quit. However, drugs, gums, patches – none of those offered the comfort of the habit, the hand to mouth, the satisfaction of “smoke” from the lungs.

I’ve been on the e-cig for 2 weeks now, which is longer than I’ve ever been off of tobacco since I was 14.

I told myself that I was now a non-smoker, and that I could “vape” as a replacement, but I don’t follow the same habitual pattern (like taking breaks at a particular time).

If I panic about not smoking, I pull out the e-cig. It’s a great crutch, but already I see myself needing it less and less.

I have saved 2 weeks of carcinogens going into my lungs not to mention a whole bunch of money in this short amount of time.

Please don’t discourage people from this product unless facts are turned up that prove it is worse or just as bad as a tobacco cigarette.

I have been using e-cigs for over 4 months now and I love it. I didn’t switch because I was trying to quit, I switched because I wanted to be healthier.

Since I’ve switched to e-cigs I’ve noticed a major change. I can breath better, I no longer have that awful tobacco smell luring around me. My teeth are no longer yellow, and my computer desk isn’t covered in cigarette ashes.

It’s like drinking coffee all your life made with muddy water and then suddenly replacing that muddy water with pure filtered bottle water.

Everything tastes better, smells better, and even feels better.

E-cigs was never intended to be used to quit smoking, it was intended to change the way you smoke.

Nicotine is a very addictive drug that for years had to be taken by inhaling tobacco leaves laced with hundreds of cancer causing chemicals. E-cigs offers people who have been addicted to nicotine a more clean non-cancerous alternative.

How can you possible down grade a product that can actually save lives? The only reason the FDA is against this product is because the more people that switches to it means less cigarette taxes for the government. Taxes that generate billions of dollars for uncle Sam every year.

It’s sad that our own government would rather we stick to using a dangerous product known to kill thousands every year rather then promote this product and help their own people try to live a better and heather life.

This site, however good its intentions, is contributing to misinformation.

Go and look up nicotine on Wikipedia, then look up propylene glycol. Reasearch had been done a while ago that suggests that inhaled propylene glycol actually prevents serious chest infections such as pneumonia.

I always get the liquid on my fingers I just lick them the nicotine goes in no big deal. The taste reminds me of nictotine gum slightly but no way near as bad.

People should be ENCOURAGED to use e-cigs because although not proven completely healthy, there is no doubt regular “analog” cigarettes are a lot more dangerous.

Also I haven’t seen any company advertising them as a way to quit nicotine, it’s simply a way of switching to a healthier way of getting that hit.

I use one and definitely feel a lot healthier than when I smoked “analogs”.

Another thing I’ll point out is that it’s not smoking it’s VAPOURISING so you can quit and still get the hit!

No one mentions the nicotine is a mere one percent of the liquid in an e-cigarette cartridge.

A friend of mine wanted to try the nicotine inhaler, but was told by her doctor that she was too light, and that it was too dangerous for her to try safely.

So I tuned her in to the possibility of e-cigarettes. I gave up smoking thirty years ago. I tried the nicotine gum and lozenges, and ended up quitting cold turkey. This year I am just getting over the damage these methods did to my digestive system.

For people to even suggest that smokers go cold turkey, is criminal. That is the worse form of torture, one could subject another human being to.

It is cruel and inhumane. I am doing all in my power to educate my smoking friend about e-cigarettes and the many benefits of switching.

All the anti cigarette lobbies should be supporting e-cigarettes to help get smokers off of tobacco.

I do have to agree that it should not be marketed as a “Stop Smoking” thing. But, choosing between conventional cigarettes and eCigarettes, I would say ECigs are better.

So I will not be heeding your advice of staying away from it.
