The other day I decided to try an experiment and bought a single cigarette at a local store. I went outside and lit up.....Took one drag started choking and almost blew chunks. I put it out and thought how could I have smoked these things for 30 years. I went back in the store got some mouthwash to get that awful taste out of my mouth. {Forgot to mention I have been vaping now for 2 years before trying this} I will never do that again. Will stick to my outstanding e-cig with its multiple flavors.
