I voted. I commented - it will likely not be permitted or posted.
I smoked, I coughed, I wheezed, I was becoming short of breath and in general noticed EVERY time I smoked I felt "bad". This was not a revelation. I knew cigarettes are bad - there is no question; only a fool would deny the fact. I was a fool - I denied the bad aspects by ignoring them for roughly eight decades.
After much research on these "e-cigarettes" I stopped and purchased a 'setup'. It cost about $40.00. I began "vaping" on 11-18-2013 and on 11-27-2013 had my last "real cigarette". Sure I had cravings and was tempted; however, I managed to stay away. I WILL STAY AWAY - thanks to e-cigarettes WITH or WITHOUT the devil "nicotine" the media repeatedly emphasises.
Today - 1-10-2014 I still cough in the morning. However, NO MORE do I say, "I coughed, I wheezed, I was becoming short of breath and in general noticed EVERY time I smoked I felt "bad". The morning cough is my lungs clearing decades of garbage I built up from smoking; I believe it will stop.My lungs will NEVER be "normal" again and that is my own stupid fault.
It may eventually be shown that these so-called "Carcinogens" exist in e-cigarettes; to date it is only public officials claiming they exist in one sentence and in the next saying EVALUATIONS have yet to be done. They do NOT know - I do NOT know. Yet, I knew and refused to acknowledge the harm I was doing to MYSELF while smoking "the cigarette". When I did - I switched to something that MAY kill me instead of WAS KILLING me.
I'll take my chances with e-cigarettes. Government intervention? It is just that "intervention" - without any need of "proof". Typical government - typical know-it-all attitude and a need for PEOPLE CONTROL - nothing more. I won't even get started on the "save the chillun" aspect they push; it's ridiculous. They appear to be "good guys" when citing "the chillun" - it is all a show. Otherwise they would present a case based on FACT - not fabricated "facts" backed by NO published proof. They claim "we" have no "proof" - yet theirs is all in the form of "words".
