I enjoy my habit, and want to keep it, so why should I want to get off these?

Fair enough, I tend to to agree somewhat. Personally my main addiction is the "hand to mouth" and a pv does nothing to address that. It's like an obese person switching to low fat snacks, they're not as bad but they're still getting fat from junk food. It doesn't do anything to address the underlying causes and triggers of our addiction.
I can go without nicotine, I've done it before. It's the hand to mouth habit that slays me.
There are two types of liquid nic available today -- that which is for human consumption, and that which isn't. What type do they use in the patches, gums, and lozenges?
I usually vape tastyvapor's liquids. I have no affiliation with them other than consumption, I will forward your question to him when I get home and see what his response is, if you like.
while reading Dana's bull and some of the replies, I got side tracked into this...

Nicotine Inhalers
Using a nicotine inhaler can mimic the action of smoking.
Nicotine inhalers are plastic, cigarette-shaped cylinders filled with nicotine cartridges. Inhalers are available by prescription only. Before asking your doctor for a prescription for a nicotine inhaler, consider the following:
Dosage is flexible since users inhale on demand.
Inhalers satisfy oral urges since it mimics the hand-to-mouth action of smoking.
The nicotine vapor is absorbed in the mouth, not the lungs.
Side effects include throat and mouth irritation since the inhaler must be used frequently to obtain satisfactory levels of nicotine.
Says that we vaporers are absorbing our nicotine in the mouth, not the lungs
Is this true with anologs too ? Why does it feel so good to take a deep hit ?
Whatever this is, I like it much more than smoking

And there you have it. The author is one of the majority of self-righteous people that think they have a duty to pass judgement via their editorials and use a concocted moral high road to validate that position.
All the while that dude is probably downloading copyrighted videos, speeding through school zones, and tearing the tags off of mattresses and we'll never know it unless he runs for public office.
pfft im nothing like a crack head, i stopped giving hand jobs for cigarettes the day i turned 18 and was able to aquire it legally lol
I don't care who you are, that's ... funny
I disagree.
I have quit smoking many, many times only to return. Why? Because I'm not as addicted to nicotine as I am to the habit. Vaping supplies the habit and I only vape 0nic. I know this because I make my own juice.
I quit nicotine the minute I got my PV. So if it's so harmfully addictive, why didn't I have major side effects from quitting? I have waaaaay worse problems when I don't have at least one caffeinated beverage every morning though. And caffeine is perfectly legal with no age restrictions.
This is basically what I was about to say, Nicotine is actually a VERY EASY addiction to break, within 48 hours the nicotine addiction is gone. It's the psychological addiction of smoking that is hard to break, psychological addictions are always far harder than physical addictions to break.
^^^Exactly! 
People can and do die from trying to quit H, so to put that and nicotine in the same realm is pointless.
Is it uncomfortable to quit nicotine? Yes, but not deadly.

Really, when was the last nicotine war in South America?? Why are we not smuggling our Nic juice up our asses? When was the last time that some Nicotine junkie killed a person to get their fix?? Where are the Nic whores that will trade me sex for a hit of my PV?
Oh yea, there aren't any... This "journalist" sound more like a paid shill for the FDA, or a guy on his own personal soapbox, who gets off making others miserable. Seems to me like a guy who has nothing better to do.
The fact is, that by reading the article and posting you are raising his click count. controversy always does this. The fact is that this person seems unwilling to listen to reason, and has demonized a large population of Americans. If that is his agenda, then let him have it, If what he is saying is IRREFUTABLE lies, then sue him for libel. There is no other way.
Sorry to post again, but this guy probably suggests that people use FDA approved Chantix to quit, which has lead to over 200 deaths.
This article tells of the toll, and is from 2008!!
Pfizer's Chantix Continues Killing Quitters

How funny!!! I have to admit that I was an adult before I realized there wasn't a mattress tag posse waiting to take me away if I cut the tag off my mattress.
I totally agree and decided to steer clear in case he's receiving $$$ for the amount of publicity he gets for his piece of crap article.
Nicotine is not difficult to kick. Almost all of it clears your system in about 3 days. All of it is gone in a week; the physical addiction is gone.
What is difficult -- extremely difficult -- to kick is the act of smoking. Smokers -- all of us -- get used to the routine of smoking. So much so that we rapidly associate many different activities with smoking. Smoking after a meal. Smoking in the car on a drive. Smoking on our breaks at work. Smoking after sex. Smoking while surfing the net. Dozens and dozens of activities, many of them enjoyable, and we link those enjoyable activities in particular to smoking to the extent that smoking becomes an extension of that activity, so the act of smoking becomes inextricably linked to the things we enjoy. These become our triggers, and when we engage in them, we want a smoke. Breaking that habit is incredibly difficult, and it's why recidivism rates for smokers is sky high.
It is a psychotropic addiction, and it's much more powerful and long-lasting than the physical addiction to nicotine. Why do you think people who have quit for months at a time still end up going back? That's not the nicotine talking, that's long gone. It's the pleasure we derived from smoking that we crave long after the addiction to nicotine is gone, not the smoke itself.
That's why eCigs work and patches and gum generally don't. They treat the physical addiction, not the longer-term mental one. eCigs let you keep engaging in the act of smoking (even though it isn't smoke) and, if you choose, cut back on the nicotine until it's gone without having to give up the process. Once the nicotine is gone, then you can work on giving up vaping if you like. But the great thing is that even if you choose not to, you're not doing yourself any harm to keep doing it.
As for this guy's article: He's a troll. Unfortunately even trolls can get people who will listen. Look at the Tea Party...
My previous reply to this post was brief.
I was waiting for an answer before spending any time on a long drawn out reply.
But then I found out that someone else has already posted what I wanted to say.
So here is a response to you from someone who can not post in the New Members section...

I suggest you read it through.
Wow. Dana's response to you was so completely vicious and hateful and stupid. What an obnoxious human being.
I don't even want to look at that article, if someone who is that scummy wrote it. She's already getting inundated with emails. I don't need to heighten my blood pressure right now.
People like that revolt me. It's not even that she's so ignorant about e-cigarettes - that's annoying, but not revolting. It's that she's so... sick with hatefulness. Ugh!

Well, I'll tell ya who we AREN'T fooling...our doctors, who keep telling us with every checkup to keep doing what we're doing and stay off the cigarettes. That's proof nuff for me.
