Hey !
So one of my new year resolutions is to cut down on the cigs so I bought some electronic cigs.Anyone tried these ?? Did it help you cut down,or even quit ?! I'm just aiming at cutting down,say no more cigs after 7pm or something. I just opened the packet and theres a USB cable in it !!!! NOt sure what this is for.Maybe its to hang myself if the withdrawel just gets too much hahaha !?!

I have a close friend that used ecigs to quit. The usb cord is likely for charging

Seems to be working for a guy at work...company policy dictates that he still has to go outside to the smoking area to use one and stand next to smokers, inhaling secondary smoke.

Just read article that said many cities are now bnning e-cigs in public places. Citing the "belief" that the vapor still contains enough nicotine to be harmful to second hand breathers.

{doh} Almost all but maybe one or two ecig companies also provide zero nicotine. But I guess extreme prejudice, lies and injustice are all typical human traits.
 
Since ecigs can contain very little to zero nicotine and about 4,000 less chemicals compared to traditional smokes. Ecigs would be ideal to get smokers to quit but due to above said and I guess some pharmaceutical companies would love to see these much cheaper ecigs banned. For example: it costs about $200 for a pack of pharmaceutical vapor 'quit smoking aid' and duh -- these contain nicotine.  
 
Top ecig brands are for example; Vcigs, Premium, WhiteCloud, Green and Southbeach. Other brands such as; BluCigs, Clear and Njoy are lame by comparison.  Non-nicotine ecigs have a sweet taste with artificial tobacco flavor, like popular foods snacks that contain artificial flavors.  Most brands offer other flavors such as mint, vanilla, chocolate, cherry and of course menthol.  Top brands provide a 'very satisfactory and longer lasting product', most batteries will last 8 to 12 hours but require about 4 hours to charge (especially for a larger battery). Some brands (batteries) have a lifetime warranty or at least a one year warranty. Typical issues; faulty batteries and very short life; often die without warning -- best to have at least two spare batteries. The above top brands provide two or three chargers: USB, Home and for the Car. 
 
 
 
 

It does kind of expose the fact that anti-cig laws are not just about health but about perception and the fact that smoking is now seen as somewhat morally "wrong".  requiring people who are not actually smoking to inhale second hand actual smoke totally flies in the face of the premise that this is about protecting health.  With that said, beign a non-smoker, it does not bother me, but I can see the hypocrisy.

Yes! Public perception is often manipulated and this usually causes stigmas to thrive often accompanied with hatred and segregation all due to misinformation, corruption and mass media hype. Hypocrisy and stupidity, that's the reality and unfortunately humans traits are still akin to barbarians ---- and zombies lol!
 
 
  

probably explains my irrational contempt of the papyrus font!

I've been doing ecigs for 13 months. No cigs (well, a few).
saved about $2k so far not to mention the health benefits.
 
The thing about ecigs is that you're always lit. I mean it's not the whole process of getting a cig out of the pack, get the lighter, light it, smoke it, your done. It's more like a cigarette in the ashtray that never goes out.
Just an observation.

That is odd, must be some of that "zero tolerance" nonsense. Really... that is idiotic.
Do you live in New York or New Jersey?
 
People need to mind their own business sometime, most of the time, always.
 
That makes me mad... and I don't even know the guy. That is the stupidest thing I have heard all day. It is EVIL. I have not smoked a cigar in months. I think I will, in protest. You can tell the guy that he has a supporter that he does not know.
