No. And we would never encourage anybody in this direction. As a 29 year smoker who has felt the health impacts of having smoked, and smoked for too damned long, I understand that this new solution to a very old problem is only as effective by trying to take the experience as FAR AWAY from the old problem as possible, while still being able to mimic some of the things I loved about the old problem. Kind of tricky psychology in that.
Tasty Vapor thought that offering something that was a COMPLETE departure from cigarette smoke, an altogether different and more pleasant and delicious experience, rather than an acrid, stanky and deadly experience. So we concentrated more on flavor than trying to approximate someone's previous smoking experience.
One of the primary components in the success of moving away from cigarettes and over to the electronic cigarette side, is the ability to offer something that aids in changing one's associations with the acts of smoking.
While e-cigs replicate the look and feel of smoking to a large degree, we also feel that helping to change the associations with the act, taste and effect are largely key in helping someone stick with an e-cig.
Example, taking a 5 minute drag session with an anlog, seeing and smelling your little puffs of smoke, making your breath, hair and clothes stink vs. using your e-cig, whenever you damned well feel like it, where ever you feel like it, taking puffs that taste like a pastry, candy or a favorite beverage, no stench, no offensive odor.....All of these attributes aid in completely changing the association with the act. Hell, with using our liquids, people have even been asked if they were baking something. I think that speaks volumes about what we're trying to do here.
But there are few who try and drag it back and try and make the new experience as much like their old experience as possible. We sadly believe these are the types that are likely to chuck their e-cig in the trash and just go back to the analogs. It's simple psychology, if you're trying to make the e-cig taste like a cig, simply put, you weren't ready to make a switch and aren't likely to have a huge success with this new product.
You'll need to be ready and willing to change your associations from the old act for the new act to have any positive impact.
