my advice is dont flaunt them..

[trog100]

be discrete and if really confronted and you want to argue the point.. lie by omission.. dont mention any smoking or tobacco connection at all.. simply say.. they are an inhaler.. people will assume its a health product and leave u alone..

however this dosnt make the odd funny story less interesting... keep them up.. he he

I agree! I'd even go so far as to say it's a medical device to help me get off cigarettes, like a new and improved nicotine inhaler that's sweeping the world and how could anyone not be aware of this fabulous advance in helping smokers ... It's fantastic. No smoke. No fire. Check it out (puff, puff).

i also agree..

do we really want people who have never smoked to take this up.

do we want this to be advertised to children

do we want this to be allowed in schools and colleges

I feel this device is for existing tobacco users who want to give up or move away from smoking tobacco

I dont feel the time is right for us to ask for our rights to puff on planes and in public places just yet ..but to make sure that countries dont make it illegal

is good for what I know throught net , UK even got one pub?/disco allow e smoking inside! correct me if I am wrong .Those UK folks wonder is it true?

next sadly my country will fine me IF I USE THIS SMOKE IN NON SMOKING AREAS! in the end my frd ask me , is it funny?haha
u have to smoke ur e smoke in smoking areas?whereby you can inhale their 2nd hand smoke ! even woest.

there is research studying this..
2nd hand smoke is even more deadly than one self who smoke.

I samoke them in public resteraunt, but cover the light, and hold breath until vapor doesn't come out- people mostly just think I'm chewing on a pen- but I do let the occassional vapor out by mistake and always 'feel guilty' liek I've doen somethign naughty lol.

Noone has ever asked about it, but if htey do I just plan to tell them it's a nicotine delivery system that produces absolutely no harmful effects in it's water vapor and just leave it at that mostly. maybe hand them a card that I got from SmartFixx that explains them a bit

I also don't recommend exposing the ciggs too much as resteraunts and bars do have the right to ban them because others might htink they are real and think they can light up real cigarettes. It would take a massive campaign to educate hte public before resteraunts and bars felt comfortable neough to allow them I think, and I don't see a campaign liek htis happning anytime soon- tilkl then I think we gotta be discrete. I think if we try to push too soon, we won't have enough support behind us to fight the rabid anti-everythingers who will cry bloody murder at hte sight of the vapor and will cause mass hysteria abotu hte product and get the government involved who will probably act ot ban them because not much is known abotu hte dangers, if any, of htem just yet.

I've heard that too however could not find any truthful scientific information saying Yes, when I looked into it.

I think what they mean by that is that the smoke that comes from the tip of the cigarette when it's lit is possibly more deadly, as it is not sucked through a filter and partially inhaled before it can be inhaled by someone else.

I've seen NHS adverts about this I think, but I could be wrong.

I constantly describe e-cigarettes as improved versions of the nicotine inhaler, people seem more ready to accept this than if I explain what they actually are.

I would agree, we cannot yet flaunt the fact that we are still getting our nicotine! The general public are now so fearful of cigs that anything that resembles one near them causes them to be totally irrational in certain situations. I took mine to the pub for lunch and smoked it in the garden (this due to it being such a nice day), some other non smokers saw the vapour and said let sit over here away from the smoker. It was a penstyle one with the blue end!! One of them was watching me with a look of disgust so continued, periodically tapping the end then took it apart, she then looked really confused!!

Nice one Betty! It's so silly when you're even outside and they're still looking in discust, what do they want you to do? Sometimes totally confusing them is the best way to go!
