PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (June 29, 2008) -- A man identified only as TropicalBob was arrested this afternoon by ATF agents for illegal possession of a drug delivery device and possesion of a controlled substance. TropicalBob told agents, all veterans of the Waco, Tex., assault, that he was "e-smoking." He said he was enjoying a "nicotine dream" when the agents approached his hammock, guns drawn. "They told me 'You can get stinkin' drunk in this hammock, you can have a Glock 9mm in your hand as you swing in this hammock, you can drive a gas-guzzling Dodge Durango all day for all we care, but you can't inhale the Devil's brew through this metal thing in your mouth.'" TB said he would fight the charge in court, but had unfortunately spent his meager savings on the hammock.
Thought I'd post a quick hello with the obligatory life story ;-)
My name's Jon, I'm 24 years old. I was born, lived and have worked in London (uk) all my life (though my family is Irish - sometimes I wish I had the awesome accent) and I've been a smoker since the age of 18 when I went to university in Oxford and studied Japanese+Computing. After leaving university I took the strange path of becoming a qualified primary school teacher in central London... unfortunatly the state of the teaching system over here's frankly awful (I wont go in to detail) and a friend of mine offered me a Job in IT at one of the UKs leading banks which I took without hesitation. There are plenty of things I miss about teaching, every night at home I could recall a rewarding experience that day and It really is true that kids say the funniest things... from the child who had the sympathy of the whole class when he told them all his goldfish had died, only to let slip that he had "let them out at night to breathe" to the child that gave me a leaving card that said "happy easter"
I have fond memories, fortunatly I made some good friends through teaching who I see regularly... and I'm earning a lot more than I was.
I see my smoking as a bit of a metaphor for my personality, I know I should quit but it's "too hard" and I enjoy it too much. I'm quite a talented person, I've always enjoyed sketching and drawing and I'm good at it... but I've never taken it further. I've always had a musical ear and people noticed how at an early age I could remember the music to a song after only hearing it once. In primary/secondary school I did a lot of acting in the school plays/musicals because I was/am a really good singer, I was always just too lazy to learn an instrument or take the singing further... now it extends to me occasionally just competing (and usually winning) local karaoke competitions.
The last few years have been a bit **** for me and it has mainly been self-inflicted and I've worked hard on trying to turn my life around somewhat. I'm 6months in to learning electric guitar and I'm not-half bad now, I work out more and try to keep myself healthier which I find gives me more energy and motivation to do things rather than just give up because I "can't be bothered" and the last stage of me really pulling myself together has involved me trying to kick the cigs, which I've found amazingly hard and the e-cig has been the only success I've had so far in keeping myself off the weed... 4 weeks is the longest I've not had a cig in 5 years, I do feel better in myself - 20 marl reds a day do take their toll and I've found that I have more colour to my skin, my taste has changed and my girlfriend obviously prefers the smell
I was glad to find this forum and will be sticking around for a while... my 1st e-cig, the dse-103 has now packed up and the atomizer has gone to the great chinese factory in the sky, but I have a janty kissbox yentl on the way... so while I'm back on cigs right now I'm looking forward to the alternative arriving on my doorstep any day now

Nice compliment. As a writer, I read and enjoyed Thompson's Gonzo Journalism work. Were he still alive, he'd be on my celebrity list to meet and give e-smoking devices. A few celebrities using our devices would establish them as credible. Thompson would indeed have gotten a pen style to clamp in his teeth; California governor Arnold would get a Ruyan Vegas; Amy Winehouse would receive a GreenCig mini; former NY governor Spitzer would get a new call girl and a box of Stonewalls.
I agree Cindy! T-Bob is HOT!
Uh, well...I know you didn't word it like that...but you were thinkin' it, right? I know I wasn't by myself. LOL

Hi Suzette,
This might be fun....
First off, this is so cool.
As many of you already know, I'm Rachel. I am from Virginia, USA. I am 44, married and have three (3) children. A son (24), and 2 daughters (18) and (15).
I have been a smoker since I was 13 years old and have now been e-smoking for 5 1/2 months.
I am a legal assistant during the week and a motorcycle safety instructor on the weekends. I enjoy trying to find out as much as possible about life after death and love reading about parnormal findings. Weird huh.
Oh yeah, and karenwest1961 is my sister-in-law.
I didn't know you liked reading about the paranormal and life after death, Rach. I do the same thing. Not so weird. Very interesting. Next time I see you, I'll drop off the books I've finished reading.
I'm also hooked on Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State.
TB does not want to know the answer. Either way, it could warp him! At present, TB loves everyone on this board. Even Trog hehe. And Cashmere, who almost threw up at the idea. TB especially loves NerdyCinderella and KarenWest1961.
But what would TB make of the "not" votes? Was one from a disappointed Dr. Loi? Was one from Ludo in a foul mood because JantyUSA can't get online on time? Were more the result of Smokey Joe doing site testing by punching "not" 20 times?
The mind boggles.
There's an adage among journalists: Some stones are best left unturned ...
