When I first heard of e-cigs.... don't laugh at this but I actually thought an e-cig was just another way of smoking tobacco! I thought it was just like a cooler way or it vaporized actual tobacco itself somehow and hence I assumed they were a gimmick. Only a few hours research will show anyone that these things are saving lives and that is certainly not to be sniffed at - just buy one and have done with it, don't be indecisive, every day NOT smoking counts!
