???FDA ban

[lilred]

I'm a little confused. A few years ago my dad had an Rx for this thing that looked like a cig. It didn't work for him though. So my question is how can the FDA ban something that's already on the market. In fact when I first started looking for e-cigs that was what I had in mind. I much perfer my e-cig though it is soo much better {vape} oh yea

Your dad had a Nicotrol Inhaler. No vapor. Just air sucked through a core containing nicotine. It had a throat hit -- to the point of causing a user to cough -- but was ineffective for most.

The electronic cigarette is not even a cousin to that failed product. Welcome to a new and better world of e-smoking.

Well that explains why it didn't work for him. Its a shame too cuz he has the beginnings of COPD. That was a few years ago now his Dr told him quitting wouldn't do him any good at his age (late 70s) that if he enjoys it to just try to cut back a little

Well, one big problem with the design of that product was that you needed to take 80 puffs over the course of 20 minutes to get the full dose of nicotine out of a cartridge. If you forgot to take a puff 4 times a minutes and set it down for a while, the liquid would continue to evaporate. Needless to say, most people were not getting the full dose of nicoitne out of each cartridge.

I hope they don't get ahold of e-cigs and do something stupid like that to them. I love mine just the way it is. They can go mess with their own toys and leave mine alone. Taking my toys and going home now don't wana play with them.

I know what you mean lilred! I vape now instead of smoke, I too am an addict and I'd much rather be an addict to my e-cig than analogs anyday---so fun and much more flavors!!! Hey, I quit smoking on April 11th and broke even on June 2nd, I was a HEAVY Smoker and I'm a HEAVY Vaper! Vaping is so much more enjoyable!! VAPE ON--lilred---I Love New Mexico!!

Why smoke when You Can VAPE!!
