Where did you hear about esmoking?

[Kate]

Where did you first come across the idea of electronic smoking?

I actually saw a link on Foxnews to an e-cig company with a video from Dr. Manny on there talking about it being an alternative. I checked out that company and then, after choking on the prices, found this forum and the rest is history!

p.s. Kate just couldn't resist, she HAD to do a poll! I knew she wouldn't be able to stop herself!

I forgot to mention that this poll was your idea Cashmere. I couldn't think of any more options, I'm sure there are some I've overlooked.

Kind of stupid, but I was on a political forum and someone posted a link to an e-cig site. "the future of smokers is here" was the title of the thread. Apparently most of the folks on that forum are non-smokers, and they all basically said "yeah so what?"

But, I went nuts researching the crap out of all things e-cig. Got an NJOY, and was sort of disappointed, so now I'm a puresmoker customer. Cash is the best.

Now I spend more time in THIS forum. You guys rock.

darn ... what a tattle tale .... LOL ....

Looks good kate! couldn't have done it better myself!

Ha, thanks.

I also forgot to say that it would be interesting to hear how folks found out about this forum too if you wouldn't mind posting about that as Shannon and Sixstring have done.

I found out about e-cigs on the BBC website. I found the video of people puffing away at them in a pub and had to investigate. A bit of Googling later and I ended up here reading all about them and watching Dusty's videos. I had to get one then.

... and then you were hooked ... it's a slippery slope ... those who start are never the same again

I think the BBC introduced a lot of people to ecigs, they did a pretty good article about them not long ago. UK sellers were bombarded with new customers and loads of newbies turned up at the forum.

This is something a lot of smokers have been waiting for. It's a pity the technology isn't better and safety isn't assured yet.

A friend bought one a few weeks back and from her description, until I saw it, I assumed it was going to be something those old plastic mock cigs that were around in the 80's, a bit of a joke.

I ribbed her about it mercilessly until it arrived and she let me have a 'puff'. For once I was speechless (doesn't happen often). It was a super-mini, which I know now is not the best example of a good e-cig, but I was still impressed.

I then forgot all about it until I was lurking on the Ebay forum to find out what they were all fighting about this week (I don't watch much TV, but who needs it with some of the entertainment on there!!) and spotted a thread about e-cigs. The link to this site was there too. I clicked on it and that's me now hopefully on the road to giving up the evil weed thanks to you lot.
