By Jeryl Brunner

I’d like to see a small study done on going into a park, and letting out a lung-clearing scream as another way to vent frustration.

Vaping. Also known as using an electronic cigarette.

In public, in front of antismoker-tobaccophobes.
The looks on their faces when I tell them that it’s not tobacco, not smoke, and tastes great as it’s my home recipe of vegetable glycerine with a few drops of coffee, cheesecake, bavarian creme, and chocolate hazelnut candy oil flavorings.

And they don’t have any power to stop me from doing it anywhere I choose to!
THAT’S pleasure!

If you could get some nicotine patches, extract the nicotine from them and add that to your home made concoction you would have something!

By the way where do you find an electronic cigarette?

It's actually cheaper to extract the nicotine from the plant using everclear. Here's some links for you about ecigs.

I don't know how this thread turned into one about "vaping", but I'm actually very interested in purchasing a "vape" set up for myself and my wife.

I've been smoking for 40+ years, and I'm finally beginning to notice a negative effect on my physical well-being.

I'm a hard-core addict, so quitting cold turkey would probably put me in a straight jacket. Vaping sounds like just the thing to wean myself off of nicotine.

Here's another e-cig link that I ran into, just last night: http://www.blucigs.com/index.php?ref=968

I was, too. I didn't even WANT to quit smoking. It just kinda happened, and now I'm doing so much better.
