And what is even more amusing is that noone seems to get addicted to nicotine gum or patches. So you take something that the FDA claims is addictive and give it to people who are addicted to it in order to get them to stop being addicted to it. That is basically what you and the rest of the propagandists are saying and that makes no sense whatsoever. It would be like giving someone cocain to break their addiction to cocaine. Something just doesnt add up here.
Nicotine is not poisonous to humans. In fact there are studies that show it is actually good. Nicotine Fact - Nicotine Is Good For You
But most everything else in a cigarette is poisonous. The reasons for people to use the patch, gum or e-cig is to satisfy the craving for nicotine without involving the other chemicals in cigarettes that are poisonous and cancer causing. Ya get that?
And Drew, Guinness is always looking for new world records. I think you qualify for the only person on the planet who thinks nicotine is not the addictive chemical in a cigarette.

It has everything to do with resin. And tar is resin. We are talking about sugars and resin here. What is amber? I can see that people on here dont know much about tobacco plants. I guess I would have to find a forum with people on it that know about botany. Tobacco is first and foremost a plant. So in order to understand and know what tobacco is you have to know something about horticulture and botany. See the big tobacco companies take tobacco leaves and then dip them in a vat of chemicals then flu cure them with heat and molasses and other sugars to make them taste better. Then they shred it and make cigarettes out of it for people to smoke and hopefully for them get highly addicted to. There was a medical study done once that I read where a british scientist studied a country where they smoked a lot of tobacco. They air dried it though so it lost most of its sugars in the drying process. The result of this was almost no reported cases of lung cancer in that area. It is also well established scientifically that refined sugar can cause cancer as well as diabetes.

Molasses itself is a resin that is made from the sap of plants.

One more thing Drew. If you're not addicted to nicotine why did you order 40ml of the Extra High nicotine liquid instead of the Zero?
hi everyone

Because Im trying to quit smoking. I dont want the chemicals in the cigarettes in my body any more and because I like nicotine. Also because I dont think nicotine is addictive or harmful so it doesnt matter how high the dosage is. The electronic cigarette will be easy for me to stop using. Thing is getting off the chemicals in cigarettes that actually are addictive... that is what is going to be hard.

I want it to taste as much like a cigarette as I can. And I actually got it yesterday. Im still on analogs but Im trying. Its going to take some getting used to and hopefully I can get used to it. But its not as satisfying to me as analogs are because it doesnt have the chemicals in it that are addictive.

Please do so, get yourself educated and then come back here afterwards.

Everything else aside, I do wish you good luck with this.
