Charlie and Lindsay may have made some bad choices, But choosing e-cigs wasn't one of them.

I liked this!

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of Americans who have smoked an e-cig more than quadrupled, from 0.6 percent of the population in 2009 to 2.7 percent in 2010. That’s more than 8 million people.

OK, this is new. "Some have social networking capabilities that help you find other e-cig smokers." I have no interest in this what so ever, but does anyone have information on this? Or is this BS!!

It is a clever device to find other B-list celebs in a crowd. If you want to.

B-list? Too much honor.

B-list? Too much honor.

In this case, the "B" refers to the list of people on Blu Cig's customer database--i.e., the "B" stands for "Blu".
