|  MYTH - E-cigarettes aimed at non-smokers
Someone has already started a poll on how long did you smoke, but it is in a forum that is not read as often as this one. Also, I have tweaked the answer choices a little I want a poll that de-bunks two myths at once: That non-smokers are the target market for e-cigarettes, and that predominantly young people are the ones attracted to the product. We can talk about age brackets (that's in another poll) but what does it matter if a 17 year old starts using an e-cigarette if she or he has been smoking tobacco since the age of 12 -- and the e-cigarette allowed him/her to quit! The important thing to me is that this is the gateway away from tobacco smoking, not toward it.

I know it's hard to believe when you consider that I am only 29 years old, but I did smoke for 45 years.

To the person who selected "Never smoked tobacco". Would you be willing to tell us why you decided to take up the e-cigarette? And do you use nicotine or not?

This poll really doesn't work for me as written. I am a person whom has smoked a cigar on occasion. Lets say at most 6 per year with some years being at 0 (it's actually been several years since I last had a cigar). So for me to say "never" isn't really correct, but to select any of the other choices could lead one to believe that I was a regular smoker which I definitely wasn't either. So based on this I don't really have a good way to answer your poll.

Maybe "Only smoked tobacco occasionally" should be added to the choices. That would be my answer, too.

I enjoy smoking tremendously, and I saw the ecig as a way to enjoy nicotine and the act without the health problems. I vape but smoke intermittently.
