Ecig User Survey: Please follow instructions before taking!!

[telsie]

Not only that, but it's been hard to get people to answer one poll correctly - imagine getting them to answer several! LOL

Plus, I needed all of the same people to answer all of the questions.

That way, it can be easily reference, such as, "Of the 800 people polled, 100% were smokers and 93.64% are over the age of 26."

If I had seperate polls, maybe one poll would have 500 people and the other 750 - messing up all of the numbers.

I do wish they had more options! I had 20 questions written out until I went to post the poll and found out I had to severely scale back. I don't get the limit.

Wow. The poll answers are painting a pretty clear picture so far. Very cool.

If the headaches continue with people skipping questions, you could ditch this and set it up externally on one of those polling sites, like this.

Instructions read first, then I took the poll..heh

Brilliant poll Kristin

Off to post a link to it in my e-cig proboard.

Not really shocking. Shows a general... how would one say it... lack of knowledge of what the alternatives are about. It's expected.

Unfortunately all to many people think the only alternatives are PV's or cigarettes, which is just another variation on quit or die.

I know you had to keep it simple, but I'd like to have seen "I have smoked NO tobacco since using e-cigs"... and I desperately needed "I don't know what I'd do " for the last question.

It's a great poll, it must have taken a lot of thought, thank you so much Kristin

[FlipnOut]

Me too. I'd go black market for my pv supplies before I'd go back to analogs.

That wasn't an option to pick.

 

[SBRFC]

Done. Some results weren't expected.

 

[Katmar]

Bumping...because I bumped the wrong thread a few minutes ago.
THIS IS THE IMPORTANT ONE....lol
Sorry, Kristin, although your case one is good, too....

 

[BubbleBobble]

As did I but only because I know that I would. Plain and simple.. I can live without them but I have no desire to live without them if I don't have this alternative. I never had any desire to quit smoking. I tried these on a lark to see how they were and as a possible way to save money. They work well enough to replace cigs for me but not because I'm worried about cigs killing me. I deserve one bad habit it's just nice that now that habit isn't so...

I agree completely.

I did not purchase my ecig with ANY interest in quitting. I actually just wanted to be able to smoke MORE! I wanted to be able to smoke inside, smoke in movies, smoke on trains, etc. After a week of using the ecig, I just naturally stopped buying cigarettes. I enjoyed the ecig more than I enjoyed the tobacco. Vapor tasted better than smoke. Quitting was a natural side effect of vaporizing for me. A very good side effect!

If ecigs were banned, I'd use NRTs or quit cold turkey, not smoke tobacco or use smokefree alternative: nbourbaki

Thanks!

 

[kristin]

Sorry guys, but I changed the instructions. I can't keep up with this like this.

If you miss a question, PM a mod and have them fix it. I will track them at the end and have the mods delete anyone who didn't do the survey correctly.

 

[kristin]

Please check your answers to see if you are one of these people:

17 people missed question #1

6 people missed question #4

2 people gave BOTH answers for question #5 (Sorry, but you can't be under 26 AND over 26, LOL!)

2 people missed question #6

You will have to be deleted if you don't have a mod fix your answers - so please check!

 

[kristin]

I had the mods number the questions - hopefully this will stop the missed answers!

Thanks for your help, Angus or Elendil (whicheber one of you fix it for me!)

Wow...look how many people would start smoking tobacco again if e-cigs were banned. I would...probably, I'd hate it, but I would. Actually...I'd start processing my own nicotine and juices and hope my batteries and PTs lasted along time

Kinda shows ya how much e-cigs really help people

Rechargeable batts can be purchased REGARDLESS of ecig ban.

Atomizers might be harder to come by. That's why I have about 75 of them. Should last long enough for me to learn to make my own, or I find some 'other' supply of them.

Not necessarily true. I'm well aware of the other alternatives. I'm also well aware of what options I would choose not to use.

You may be aware of them Thy but far too many aren't.

That's why you have folks like myself and Twisted Victor and Stubby and others evangelizing, when applicable, the harm reduction aspects of the smokeless products. The downright fun as well!

All Hail Tropical Bob

So many folks see reference to snus and think chew and go no further. Swing on by the Smokeless Forum Thy, have a pinch with us hardcases and kick yer heels up

 

[Kate51]

You guys with the black market thing, post that somewhere so we can get the address right........make sure they ship in discreet packaging and take PayPal and all...
Wait, isn't that what we do now??? OK, never mind!!

I wasn't saying that was a bad thing at all otd. As a matter of fact it's a good thing that you guys try to help that way.

Just the way Stubby chose to add in the

" ... how would one say it..."

made the statement come across more as a slight than a concern

Which could be the way he meant it or could be just the way I was reading it. Thus why text is a bad form of communication due to the lack of inflection.

Either way I'll stick with my choices and if others go down the smokeless road more power to em

 

[olderthandirt]

Eeeeh
Stubby don't slight in his posts. He's entirely too nice to!

Now me on the other hand.....
Grumpy old men in rainbow suspenders, watch out!

How long do you anticipate this poll running and where do plan on posting the results?

 

[Thyestean]

Now me on the other hand.....

Eeeeh
