First Credits to Kristen, because i am linking to your article in this, I wanted to add more sight to this great article by your creation, But I wanted to add my own statements to it for facebook, but as I got writing mine got to long for face book so I will post it below so that way I can just use a link and so people here can read it as well.



ECigs Are saving my Life and wallet every single day. I was smoking two packs a day, for the non smokers that is 40 cigarettes in a 24 hour period, at a cost of 300 euro a month, Since one pack costs 5 euro making 2 packs a day 10 euro a day. Most who know me know that I have a multitude of lung problems. My best friend and her husband had started Ecigs and she had suggested I try them and of course I wanted to learn about them first, like most smokers the idea that i could get the same thing from something that didn't have tobacco was nuts, or no way it could be safer. But I started to read and a complete idiot, can see just from reading what the solution is made out of that it's safer. Cigarettes contain over 4000 chemicals, and most of them are dangerous in someway. Ecigs Contain 4 chemicals, and even if you get flavored ones, like me I use a all natural flavor company, I use in particular their tobacco flavored juice, Astraia prefers their chocolate flavor.

This means that you are not getting exposed to any chemicals that are not in the chocolate, and I am not being exposed to any chemicals that are not in a cigarette, But even mine the lvls that I am being exposed to are so much lower that just a two second comparing of the numbers can tell that it is safer. Now some people would like to keep saying they are just as dangerous as cigarettes but this is a lie that a child can understand by looking at whats in them. The nicotine is not the most dangerous thing in a cigarette, the FDA has done tests and proved that Nicotine is just as dangerous as caffeine and the Nicotine in one cigarette would be about the same as the Caffeine in a cup of coffee if it wasn't for the 3999 other chemicals along with it. Ecigs do not have 3997 of those. and the 4 that it does have are not the Dangerous ones.

Cost wise, for the same cost as I was paying for Analogs in one month, I was able to buy enough Nicotine solution, for both me and Astraia for 4 months. Now why the Initial cost may be more, 50 euro for a starter kit, the monthly upkeep is much less. at max we spend for two people 50 euro for a whole month, and that is at max, which is a savings of 250 euro a month, and that is not counting the savings of astraia's. My health has improved 200 fold since starting the Ecigs, I breath better, I can smell things I could not smell before, I can taste things I could not taste before, and standing next to someone smoking an analog makes me actually feel sick, and the smell of them makes me gag.

I will be forever grateful to Toni and Scott for introducing me to Ecigs, and would recommend any smokers and Family members of smokers, to give this a try just 1 week, and I guarantee you will be able to cut down on analogs, if not totally quit, start with a nicotine solution 11mg or higher as that is the amount in a regular analog smoke(I know because Germany the MG of nicotine in the cigarettes has to be listed on the pack.), I guarantee that the cost of one month will be a quarter of what you are spending now. The article I posted below has way more info, and if you try and agree please let the FDA know, that this time they are way out of line.

I do not use them to quit Nicotine Just smoking, It is safer for me and those around, I do not need a scientist or a government to tell me what a blind man can see by reading a label, and actually trying it, and I will not even get into how no smoke(that's right its a vapor) means no smoke inhalation, and the disorders that come with it.


Kristins article, give it a read I promise you will not be disappointed.

Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of vaping. :) I also posted a story on facebook in hopes that some of my friends who smoke will consider changing over. I don't know if anyone has, but at least 200 more people know about it. Thanks for helping spread the word!!

As for the comment you made: "I am not being exposed to any chemicals that are not in a cigarette" .. while this may be true, it makes it sound almost dangerous!! Rest assured friends, these "chemicals" in the e-juice are commonly used as food additives -- so even non-smokers eat them on a daily basis.

You will find thousands of folks here to support your decision to quit, and in many stages of quitting. Good luck, and happy vaping!

Thanks for the input, when I typed that out I had a reason for it, but now I am having an issue putting my reason for wording that way into words..lol..

But thanks for the input, I am now at 3 months and 13 days, and I stopped smoking 2 packs a day over night, I smoked my last analog at 11pm on a Tuesday, and the next morning at 6am I started Vaping and have never looked back, I just vaped more when I had a craving that first week.

Strangely me and my wife actually got lucky I think, The first Peirce of hardware we tried I fell in love with, The Be-112 from best ecig and it works great for me, The only complaint I had with it at first was the end is a tip like a plastic cigar tip, but after a week of vaping on it I was adjusted to it, the next peice we tried My wife fell for, and that is a be-103 it looks just like a normal analog, and feels like one, I didn't like it as much because it seemed like I was burning through the juice to fast, but my wife swears by it.

but we are still trying others, just we try them for fun....chuckles...


Oh adeline I know why I worded that way, the company we use for our as I said is an all natural site. So on the site it guarantees, that you will only be exposed to PG, water and chemicals that are naturally in what ever the flavor componant, So if you vape strawberry, then the Chemicals for that flavor can be found in a strawberry, If choclate, or in my case I use the tobacco flavors, so I can only be exposed to chemicals that are in a tobacco product. hence me saying and I am not being exposed to any chemicals that are not in a cigarette. Hope that made sense.

Yep it makes sense -- just trying to cushion the blow from a nay-sayer that might say, "But you're still getting chemicals found in cigarettes!!" A lot of people don't take the time to read it completely, they only see what they want. I was just trying to repeat what you said -- they aren't harsh chemicals, they aren't the BAD chemicals in cigarettes, and really, most (if not all) non-smokers come into contact with these "chemicals" often. :D

Hoppyy my experience is similar, I have breathing meds i have to take, I had cancer in the mucle of my chest(Think breast cancer for men.) and to get the tumor they had to take a part of my lung to get it all, and I have gone in the three months i have been vaping, i went from needing my Albuterol inhaler at least once a day, to only needing it once every three days, and my doctor is finally hopeful that I may eventually only need to use it in an emergency, which is what it's ment for, and yes he has told me that he would now recommend ecigs to any patient he has just from watching me on them, and I was the first patient he ever had trying them.

So I am glad they worked for you as well.
