Lets get one thing straight. I love to smoke. There is NO substitute for a real tailor made cigarette. I have smoked for 25yrs and I was in to it big time. I smoked cigarettes, cigars (real ones, not Grenadiers!) a pipe (I have fifty pipes from Grabows to Savinellis) I chewed Days O Work and I even grew my own tobacco because non-filtered Pall Malls are getting hard to find. I have tried to quit off and on since being a teenager. I have tried everything, spare no expense, but the bottom line was I loved to smoke. There was nothing that was going to make me not enjoy smoking.
Then...last Friday, the 23rd of Sept 2011, I went into a Chevron in Sacramento to get some gas. They had the njoy NPro's for 20 dollars sitting on the counter. I had never seen an electronic smoke before, so I bought it. As soon as I got home, I started checking out the internet for information and found this site. After learning about all the benefits and whatnot, I ordered another battery and some juice from Johnson's and started ripping on it.
Haven't had a smoke since, no lie. Like I said, I love to smoke. For years I wished there was some magical device that could deliver all of the joys of smoking with no apparent drawbacks. It is here. These e-cigs are awesome. I swear they smoke these on Star Trek. It is the future of smoking and the tobacco companies would be wise to get into it and protect their market share.
My biggest concern with smoking tobacco was not the health risks: a few years ago, after 22 years of smoking, I asked the Dr. for a CAT scan of my chest to see if there was any damage (or cats!); when the test was done and I was still warm from the contrast dye, the tech did a quick look and said, "Damn, you smoke?" I am also a long distance runner and very active otherwise....no health concerns. What did concern me was the SMELL. I am the only one who smokes in my family, and I was tired of being the stinky d-bag all the time. My family loves the ecigs more than I and now I can smell all of the other smokers around!! My car doesn't reek, and the *** is MUCH better!
Two weeks in now and I do feel much better. Nice to be able to take deep breath-I live high in the Sierras amongst the cleanest air on Earth and can smell it now!
To all those considering the ecig, there is no real consideration. Do it and May Your Dow Never Jones!
