I'm not donating any money to anyone - not that I hope there won't be some opportunity to support tangible forward movement, but I'm first using the pen, well - and the keyboard. I've sent off letters and emails to the politicians I've helped vote into office and am encouraging public debate and discussion on the issue of e-cigarettes and their use.
But no matter who says what - I own the living proof and have the story to tell as do many others. I smoked for over 40 years and never really quit, ever. In the last year the reality of needing to quit moved from the back of my mind where it lurked for years like a dark secret I didn't want to voice to the front of my thoughts. When I happened across the online add for an e-cig - I jumped. I looked read, read some more and ended up here - I decided on a brand and bought it. That was just over 6 weeks ago.
Tonight, I had a battery burn out, and I'm down to 3 batteries and 2 atomizers and some juice. I'll probably buy some more but I'm past that nervous sweaty gotta-get-out-and-get-some-smokes jones that I let endure for years and years where I always had to have a pack and a back up pack and a pack to back up the backup in case I ran out. I don't smoke anymore and I'm managing to sweat it out through this stage and not feed the same monkey. I know others here that I read are full users of e-cigarettes and I fully support that - vape a lot, a little, or quit altogether - the choices are better than the alternative if it's smoking tobacco cigarettes.
Between the FDA and the Surgeon General and all their expensive concern for my well being I've been able to supply my smoking habit for years without a moment's concern that I might not have another pack ready to go day or night. And now they want to "regulate" cigarettes and "control" the ingredients and watch out for me by putting a ban on e-cigarettes? ... them. I'm more p-o'd at the FDA's response than I have been to anything for a long time. They can all go to hell and take their tax funded research with them.
I'm so glad I found this board, and found the e-cigarettes.
They're wrong. I'm right. All their hypocritical theorizing-maybe-we-can-make-it-better someday b.s. they can sling won't change that.I'm my own proof and that's all I need. Let the jackasses ban everything they see - e-cig's will still endure and ultimately prevail if those who want it keep at it. But either way - I already won and all of their self-righteous posturing and double talk won't change that.
