Of course, big pharma has been after the devices for a while too.

“It’s not a reason to ban them, but to better control them,” said Thomas Laurenceau, chief editor of the magazine

Good little socialist. Control is the issue, not the cigarettes or the cancer.

With people like this in the press, who needs jackbooted thugs?

Shh...I think I hear someone exercising a freedom.

A female friend of mine got into trying to quit smoking.

Her solution (like everything else) was to find a substitute so she didn’t have to stop doing anything.

We went up to the local smoke shop, which is owned and operated by some Middle Easterners (not sure exactly where they are from)

She asked about buying and E-CIG, and since she and I were regular visitors, and my son has made friends with several of them, he told her YOU DON’T WANT THESE. THEY ARE BAD FOR YOU.

Turns out he was right. What did she do? Went somewhere else and bought an E-CIG anyway.

I know 7 people personally that quit smoking by using an e-cig, and subsequently just stopped buying e-cig refills.

Of course the .gov wants to regulate e-cigs. They are losing tax revenue.

the only thing that people seem to be able to openly and guiltlessly condemn these days is selling crack to schoolchildren, drunk driving, and anything that remotely resembles smoking.

otherwise, it’s george bush’s fault.

This link has a scientific study. The liquid for e-cigarettes is nicotine, glycerine, and propylene glycol.

I quit smoking tobacco cigarettes in February. I smoke low nicotine e-cigs as a substitute. I do not miss cigarettes at all because of the many benefits. My blood pressure which was not really considered high but in the high normal range that has decreased to lower normal and my pulse rate is consistently in the low 70s, whereas when I smoked it was in the mid 80s. Any shortness of breath I may have had is gone.

I know it’ll be hard, a torture, but I’m thinking of quitting not smoking.
