Hi Mennna, imo, it doesn't taste like a real cig but gives you enough kick of a real cig. Just try it! Approx RM200 can get you a real good one. Only about the price of a month of cigarette? But it might save your life!

Go read up the reviews, see which mini you feel is the best and go get one!

Good luck!

They banned chewing gum in public many years ago. Don't they also prescribe to 'canings' for some punishment. Leslie Charteris, author of "The Saint", was born there in 1907.

One of the most valuable members this forum ever had was Dr. Jim Loi of Malaysia. He runs a clinic in Kahla Lumpar (spelling? sorry). Look for information on him under Members and see if you can't get a street address.

Dr. Loi was an early believer in e-smoking, who set up trials with more than 300 of his patients. From his own pocket, he spent more than $30,000 on devices he gave to patients for testing. Then he followed their progress, noting side effects, allergies, failure rates, etc.

About six months into testing, the government crashed down on him like a boot on an ant. Confiscated his records, ended his experiments. There are TAXES at play here and money was being lost with this silly Chinese toy Dr. Loi was promoting (he did demos at shopping malls, used it on airplanes, etc).

After his ugly encounter with what we all face, Dr. Loi stopped posting.

And we on this forum got our first glimpse of the future around the globe.

i have read all about you and dr. Loi. its a really sad sotry with dr. loi and i would like to hear/help more of him! imagine a doctor being damaged due to a promising drug????? sound like stone age...

I would just say this "remedy" really looks promising. i was a skeptic myself before. But i would like to look for a better future with this product and not just to give a total ban on anything related to nicontine. its just sound tooo stupid.

the next time to move on....

1. get other authority(ies) involved.

2. get public awareness...

look at it at a more +ve way then just smoke...

in singapore, actually its quite easy to do that.. (big will need the big boys in pheamaceutical)

but the sad thing is that the entrepreneur in singapore may get his punishment and later not his reward.. many pple have tried and tested and scared...

i would really want to try with this product and promote it with a better understanding and acceptance.. as far as i am concerned, its NOT harmful.. and as a smoker myself i would love it.

will the heath, science and authority hear something??? what about the anti-smoking campaigne people??? we are shouting!
