		<description>I was a 3 pack a day smoker and very much into this smoking habit.

I&#039;ve been smoking for the past 4 years and these were the worst part of my life.

My look completely changed to something nasty. My hair started falling, I lost my weight, teeth turned yellow and lips turned black.

I looked horrible when I saw myself in the mirror. My handsome look was gone. I was dam worried because I stand among the beauty conscious people.

I tried quitting this habit couple of times but failed every time. I even tried gums and patches and even chantix but none of them worked out for me.

One day I saw a guy in my street using e-cig. Upon asking I came to know that it’s a smoking alternative.

I used it for a week and was completely mesmerized. Can you believe it… you get the same tobacco taste without 4000 chemicals except nicotine.

Same density vapors. No harmful tobacco smoke, just clean vapors. No fear of second hand smoking.

And above all I can smoke everywhere. I mean it was hard to believe that how could somebody imitate a tobacco cigarette. But its true YES e cigarette completely changed my life. Now I am regaining my beauty back. No more yellowing of teeth, I have even regained my weight.</description>

		<description>The FDA made these things illegal because of the chemicals in the vapor.  Your essentially going up to a fog machine you would see in a theatre.  Hooking up a hoze and breathing in the vapor.

When I worked on movies they actually gave you more money for scenes with smoke because of known dangers of exposure to the stuff.</description>

		<description>I think people here are delusional about a so-called &quot;safe&quot; ciggarette. There is nothing safe about it...it still carries the same bullshit that a normal ciggarette would have.

This is just some new trendy thing for people to get addicted to. I see no true affect for people to quit with an e-ciggarette. A person said above, &quot;oh I&#039;m living proof that I quit&quot;, but you are still taking puffs from time to time. You are truly not done with smoking...nor did you truly quit. 

E-Cigs are just another ploy to get people addicted...to that and make money off the users who buys them. It goes like this...people want to quit, so let&#039;s push another crutch on them. Let&#039;s make e-cigs and try to put the tabaco companies out of bussiness.

Plus an e-cig made a friend of mine really sick one day...and she&#039;s a normal smoker.

Let&#039;s keep it plain and simple, no ciggarette is safe or healthy for you, even the e-cigs.</description>

		<description>I smoked over 20 years, I tried the e-cigarette, and at first I didn&#039;t like it! The throat hit was not there! it seemed much lighter than the ultra lights I was smoking, and the batteries went out fast!

 But I stayed with it! I bought a e-cigarette called the SCREW DRIVER! The batter last me all day! Then I found a website that has a e-liquid base called Vegetable Glycerine (VG). www.americaneliquidstore.com

I get a bit of a stronger throat hit from the (VG)and the vapor of the smoke is great!

 now I know the argument with Propylene Glycol (PG) with it being in antifreeze and so fourth!  What is going to be the complaint of Vegetable Glycerine (VG)?

Yes smoking is bad for you real cigarettes are very harmful to the body! But since I changed to e-liquid I feel a lot better! and it is cheaper! I can vape any where! 

It did take me a while to change over completely to e-smoke but I did it and I am glad I did!  No with draws, No angry issues, the e smokes are for me!</description>

		<description>Stop making up excuses and putting your family members and loved ones through hell. They are the ones that will push you on a wheel chair with your fashionable oxygen tank, enough excuses! try quitting first! E- Cigarettes are just another way to drain your wallet. While you might say they prevent depression I say that&#039;s Bull&amp;%$! I live with a smoker and he&#039;s depressed most of the time!</description>

		<description>Hey Dustin,

If you take a look at my comments, you will see that I admit to my mistakes. Heck, we all make mistakes, and I&#039;ve owned up to this rather than hiding from you guys.

I&#039;m no longer biased to eCigs, as long as it helps smoker&#039;s quit the harmful chemicals and smoke from normal cigarettes.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a lot of anger up there.

I will tell you this:
I had been smoking over a pack a day for 28 years
I had tried the patch and gum under a physicians supervision and they did not help.
I have tried cold turkey and could not do it.
I have been using e-cigarettes for one week and have not had a cigarette since my first puff on an e-cigarette.
I have been lowering nicotine content in the cartridges since the third day with no problems. (The first three days I needed the &quot;high Nicotine&quot; cartridges).

I would use the Nicotrol Inhaler instead if I could get it OTC in the land of liberty and freedom (it is only available OTC in about every other civilized country), but I have spent enough on doctors and worthless pharmaceuticals with no results.

I paid $60.00 for two &quot;starter&quot; e-cigarette kits at a truck stop and haven&#039;t smoked in 7 days.

Say what you will, it is working for me, and I don&#039;t see I&#039;ll have a problem kicking e-cigarettes as I am already &quot;vaping&quot; less and less every day.</description>

		<description>First of all ... WHO is financed mostly by private companies, like big pharma. Do you really believe a word they say?

We have here a small group of companies taking over the entire world. They want us to buy THEIR products. Medical journals which doctors and students used, are also financed in part by these companies, thus using their power to brainwash doctors and make more money.

They also know that cannabis oil is a very widely proven cure for cancer, as it kills cancer cells. This information is being kept from us, and the product is even banned. 

I am not going to sit down and watch them control our lives. I am going to smoke !! Even if it&#039;s banned and I have to make cigarettes with grass on the ground, I will do so ! Freedom is always worth fighting for.

Cars are much more toxic and dangerous then any cigarette. Many &#039;&#039;ignored studies&#039;&#039; have shown this. Yet, it&#039;s viewed as perfectly ok to stink up the town with those 4 wheeled killers and to expose our children to all the toxic fumes while they are sitting in the back seat of the car.

People are just blind o stupid.

Smoke has been a part of humanity forever, we can&#039;t say the same for cars.

So next time you pass by me with your car, please stop and turn it off so I can breathe !!

If I don&#039;t have a right to smoke my petty little cigarette, you shouldn&#039;t have a right to drive a car and endanger my life. Which is a proven fact. We cannot say the same about passive smoking. 

Some facts .. the oldest living people and population are mostly those who smoke the most. Asthma, which was once cured with cigarette smoke (many still do so today and have a better quality of life) has increased by 800% in children since the smoking bans.

Smoking also reduces the risk of babies dying of a common breathing problem, by 50% !! They tell you this? Of course not.

Populations who are not victims of diesel, also happen to have no or barely any lung cancer, like the Eskimos, some Indian tribes etc...

The global stats obviously show that smoking is not the problem, yet many countries are being lied to by WHO. Many countries tried the smoking ban and saw no results after doing so, except for a broken economy and pissed off citizens.

They says for example that heart attacks have decreased since smoking bans .. but fail to tell you that heart attacks decreased no more then what they were in the years preceding the smoking ban. So there was actually NO difference. Many studies actually report the contrary, saying that a smoker who stops is at HIGHER risk for heart attacks, obesity &amp; other health problems. Do they warn us so that we can take precautions? NO !! They HIDE it !

All this smoking ban thing was probably created to hide the fact that lung cancer was greatly increasing after people had been exposed to radiation and doctors were complaining. Doing so saved them &#039;&#039;billions&#039;&#039; of dollars. Ever wonder why in the world so much money is being invested in this even when results are lacking?? Well  ... it&#039;s obviously very fishy.

I fail to understand why most people know that gov lies, yet still believe every word they say. Maybe people believe whatever they want to believe without verifying the facts.

You know what happens when lies are told over and over again? We believe them. It&#039;s human nature and they use this to manipulate us. 

Just like the H1N1 vaccine. WHO was able to get most gov&#039;s to believe there was a serious problem, when the problem actually killed less people then the common cold. Intelligent countries who refused the vaccine, did not have any epidemic whatsoever !

It&#039;s a lot to think about, but we need to wake up and stop being controlled. 

I would like to be able to trust doctors again, but unfortunately can&#039;t because they are totally manipulated and controlled, except for the few who notice what&#039;s going on and tell people about it.</description>

		<description>The righteousness of anyone who preaches about the dangers of anything that they are far from an expert on, should and will fall on dead ears.

Many times it is a matter of personal opinion and choice - how much risk is one willing incur during their life?  Otherwise, it is merely seeking to promote a personal opinion.

To put things into perspective, the recent BP oil leak is likely to have larger ramifications than e-cigs (even if what you say about e-cigs health ramifications is found to be true), although being a fairly isolated incident.

We live in a world of chemical exposure - you are not contraindicated from this fact just because you disapprove of e-cigs. Drinking a soda, working on your car in a garage, visiting New York City (or Hong Kong!) i.e. smog/acid rain/etc., taking any pharmaceutical - even those tested and approved by clinical trials, spraying for spiders, eating conventionally grown or genetically modified foods, etc., all expose the body to numerous chemicals, none of which can be empirically proven safe with any finite measure.

There is no right and wrong in this because there is not an empirical black and white - there is a body of evidence, most of which is contradictory.

The only thing one person should expect of another person is to consider the body of evidence and choose for themselves what level of risk they are willing to take. Anything else is tyrannical and amoral; and will likely be a failed attempt at persuasion.

In other words, mind your own business; if you do not like e-cigarettes or real cigarettes for that matter, don&#039;t use them.

I will not attempt to preach to you about how they can improve your life in some way or another. I expect the benefit of you - being of the same ability as me to make your own decisions in life - not preaching to me about possible harm of an activity that I may or may not choose to partake in.

(&lt;ul&gt;Just as an endnote:&lt;/ul&gt; The FDA has an incredible benefit to our safety, however, they are not always right and have made plenty of recorded mistakes. Drugs make it to the market after being found to have a low percentage of adverse affects - years later, the actual percentage of adverse affects is found to be much higher. The institution is not perfect and can at times have less than acceptable motivations. It is a political system and should garnish respect and reputation accordingly.)</description>

Drinking a soda, working on your car in a garage, visiting New York City (or Hong Kong!) i.e. smog/acid rain/etc., taking any pharmaceutical &#8211; even those tested and approved by clinical trials, spraying for spiders, eating conventionally grown or genetically modified foods, etc., all expose the body to numerous chemicals, none of which can be empirically proven safe with any finite measure.</p>
<p>There is no right and wrong in this because there is not an empirical black and white &#8211; there is a body of evidence, most of which is contradictory.</p>
<p>The only thing one person should expect of another person is to consider the body of evidence and choose for themselves what level of risk they are willing to take. Anything else is tyrannical and amoral; and will likely be a failed attempt at persuasion.</p>
<p>In other words, mind your own business; if you do not like e-cigarettes or real cigarettes for that matter, don&#8217;t use them.</p>
<p>I will not attempt to preach to you about how they can improve your life in some way or another. I expect the benefit of you &#8211; being of the same ability as me to make your own decisions in life &#8211; not preaching to me about possible harm of an activity that I may or may not choose to partake in.</p>

<ul>Just as an endnote:</ul>
<p> The FDA has an incredible benefit to our safety, however, they are not always right and have made plenty of recorded mistakes. Drugs make it to the market after being found to have a low percentage of adverse affects &#8211; years later, the actual percentage of adverse affects is found to be much higher. The institution is not perfect and can at times have less than acceptable motivations. It is a political system and should garnish respect and reputation accordingly.)</p>
