E-cigarettes do not necessarily use tobacco.
Nicotine is also extracted from potato and tomato leaves.
Remembering the old adage “Follow the money.”
As always....it all about POWER and its use.
and of course we’ll have reams of GOP standing up and saying “WOAH!- where is your evidence? Where is your research? You have none? Then you have absolutely NO reason to ban eciggs! You do NOT have the authority to ban or regulate something simply because you have a bias against it- Show us the evidence FIRST- then we’ll discuss whether you can regulate it or not!”
Crickets
E cigs emit a bit of water vapor which dissipates in one or two seconds. Other people are “safe” from e-cigs.
This is all about something that looks like a cig and people hold it in their hand. Oh, my God, he/she is holding something that looks like a cigarette - BAN IT.
I can't find an ecig that the battery lasts very long. I'm using Eversmoke now and have tried several other brands. Due to the batteries not lasting long and the cartridges running out quickly, which together consumes more money that regular cigs, I'm thinking of going to regular ultra light cigarettes when I'm outside.
If any of you use a better e cig (long lasting battery and long lasting cartridges), let me know. I've tried brands “blu” and “V2” and “MarkTen” and this one, “Eversmoke”. All of them say a cartridge is equal to one pack of cigarettes and that is a lie. Not one lasts that long.
The E-cig people are peeing in the Corn Flakes of three very powerful groups - Big Tobacco, Big Pharma, and Big Goverment. I am surprised they haven’t been adversely regulated more than they are.
Just get a good one and charge it oner night. I tried everything to quit. Ecigs saved my life.
I don't get it.
ALL regulations that have the effect of LAW
should be passed and approved in CONGRESS
you know..... the “we the people’S” representatives...
LIKE THE CONSTITUTION INTENDED
E-Cigarettes are supplanting the real tobacco smokes tax base???, besides whomping upon the tobacco lobbies profits.
You need to get a good set up. Those you buy at the gas station are junk. Head to a vape store.. A good one that sells decent equipment and liquids and has good, knowledgeable employees who will spend how ever long it takes to explain everything and give you recommendations.
I walked into one with no intention of quitting smoking when I woke up that day. All the people in there were so helpful and optimistic! They spent almost 2 hours with me. I got my vape set up and have never smoked another cigarette since April 1, 2014 after having smoked a pack and 1/2 for 45 years!
Move on from the crappy disposable e-cigs and get 2 reliable rechargeable vape set ups. While one is recharging, you can use the other. You will be SO happy! You can do it!
I bought an e-cig 2&1/2 years ago and haven’t had a cigarette since. Smoked for 40 years. Cut my costs by more than 80%.
Read up on different batteries and atomizers, and shop online for savings. The cheap batteries don’t last. I use an itazte mvp made by innokin. Works great and can even charge your phone if needed.
Madvapes & Mtbakervapors are sites I use.
Go to a cape store, buy a box mod, an atomizer from Kanger or Aspire, then sample the juices til you find one you like.
Each atty coil can last a week or two and a 30 mil bottle of juice can last dam* near a month depending on your vaping habits
I’ve been happy with smoketip.com but it’s the only one I’ve used.
I’m not sure what you meant by battery life, whether it’s discharging or dying, so as to no longer be able to hold a charge. The smoketip battery charge lasts about 2 hours of me basically “chainsmoking”. Since the starter kit comes with 2 batteries, I have 1 charging at all times, using the USB port on my laptop. The full charge time takes about 30 minutes.
I agree that the cartridges aren’t as long lasting as the claims made, but I’m spending about 1/3 what it cost me for cigarettes.
The smoketip starter kit is less than $60, refill cartridges come in many flavors and are relatively inexpensive. A “10 pack” refill costs $160.00 and with every one, you get another starter kit. I now have more batteries and chargers than I’ll ever need.
I quit cigarettes cold turkey after smoking for about 46 years and never stopped missing it. I did that for about a year before I tried the ecigs. Since then, I have never wanted another cigarette. “Vaping” completely replaced smoking for me and there’s no way I’d ever go back to cigs.
I never wanted to be one of “those people”, but only after I quit smoking and my sense of smell returned did I realize how foul cigarette smoke is. It doesn’t matter how clean you or your clothes are, if you smoke and you’re around people who don’t, you stink. Health issues aside, had I realized before how bad cigarette smoking makes you smell, I would never have done it.
I use one these kits. They come with a USB charger and two tanks and two batteries: you charge one and use the other and then swap them out.
Buying e-juice separately and filling the tank is much, much cheaper than regular cigarettes.
I just quit smoking using one of these kits after smoking 40 years.
