Welcome. Wish I would've found this site much sooner. There is so much information available here. There really hasn't been a question I've had that hasn't already been asked and answered.
Well thanks for your replies.... in my country vaping is not that popular , this is a brand new industry here... believe or not, vaping is not that cheap here, because of the customs importing process...... 28% taxes + shipping. a pack of analog cigarretes is about US$3.50 and a pack of 5 e-nicotine cartridge is about $15... there are no e-liquids (yet) because you have to ask for pharmaceutical / liquids permission add $30 more...and so on....
I'm a V2 user mostly because cartridges are well packed and documented (and I really like their flavors) ; they're a lot easy to import compared with other more generic brands...and I save some money with coupons.
For us in latinamerica, analog smoking is really cheap, compared to guys from North America or Europe, it;s like the oppossite. it's crazy.
Same boat here.... but healt is first....
May be in short time all will change.... hope....
Thanks for you answer. It's not long at all.
Here's a photo from our president smoking
Smoking in El Salvador and Central America is a lot more acceptable than other countries, from my perspective, it's all about education and business. Let me tell you a little story about workers and third world countries...
Third World Countries (development countries as they call us now) experienced a lot of human explotation since we were invaded and conquered, "campesinos" ( country workers ) never had access to education or other cultural benefits. Sooner they came to cities looking for opportunities because they were starving out there in this new globalization golden era; so the "Big Families" started to create companies or business such as "maquilas" and offered jobs to this people, working 12, 14, 16, 18 hours per day for let's say $200 bucks a month which is about $200 / 30 / 8 = $0.83 per hour. Shame. So the idea here is NO EDUCATION MORE WORKERS.... MORE COUNTRY WORKERS , MORE SMOKERS. Why? because people rather smoke than eat. I'm not lying it's true. If you can ask what a worker eat at lunch, he would probably say " a cigarette and a cup of coffee ", a piece of bread and a cigarette. Somehow tobacco calmed people down at day and alcohol put you happy at night. So my grand-grandfather, and grandfather they are grew smoking a lot. As I said before, cigarettes and beer are cheap. So 90% (I would say) of my generation grew breathing smoke. Somehow I smoked since I was born.
Now, people went to college, the Internet is here also and we have more access to know that SMOKING KILLS but I think there will be from 3 to 5 generation until smoking can be seen as a bad habit.
P.D. obvioulsy "english" is not my native language... but I'm trying to do my best here. jejeje.
