How long will it take for it to become normal?

How long will it take civilization to take in E-smoking and consider it a normality? In 50 years time will their be movies with people e-smoking and not a cigarette in sight?

I hope it moves pretty quickly if the FDA doesn't cut us off at the knees.

I think vaping will go the analog route and with similar health repercussions. Right now it's the wild west.

I bet big tobacco companies are trying to mimic their flavors and thinking of ways to market it, and make it addictive.

It already addictive. Nicotine.

Yes, but big tobacco companies have the resources to devise a way to make/manufacture cheaper WTA's for their liquids.

WTA's are extremely important in the battle against analogs, most don't know/realize it, but its the biggest x-factor. Nicotine alone seems to only play a small part from what I have experienced/seen/read. And seeing/blowing vapor is also only part of the solution.

I quickly understood what was missing with my ecig-only use when I placed some Snus under my lip after being analog free for almost a month. I FINALLY got that satisfied feeling that analogs gave me but ecigs were lacking. I could literally chain-vape for days on end with some pretty potent nic levels and still not feel 'satisfied'. But after a dip of Snus, I don't even feel the need to vape (if I do, its for the flavor, and even then I almost have to force myself to do it).

There is something to be said for the MAOI's present in tobacco that we all took for granted when puffing away on our cigarettes. Many don't even realize why they start feeling so 'wrong' after a month or two being off analogs, but its likely due to the lack of the WTA's and MAOI's that whole tobacco gave us.

WTA's are/can also be addictive, so if big tobacco companies ever decide to venture out into the ecig world, that will likely be their go-to measure to keep people addicted to their products. And it will also set them apart as most e-liquid suppliers out there are too small and can't do WTA without serious cost and dedication.


Also since I realized the importance of WTA's in my diet, as I found out by using snus+vaping, a WTA e-liquid site that has actually decent pricing on WTA's can be found here (Whole Tobacco Alkaloid WTA Eliquid Ejuice). Currently they have limited supply and don't sell by the pound (yet), but 10ml for $12 isn't that bad if you are one of the unlucky people that needs WTA's to function without resorting to an analog for that same level of satisfaction.
