Here what I think, I really dont think many kids will go through the hassle of ecigs. I really think ecigs will only be used by smokers who cant quit. Think about it charging batts

Wait until you see a bunch of well dressed teens with daddy's credit card strutting through your local mall vaping Strawberry 0 nicotine liquid like it was an accessory to their outfit. They'll just grab one of mommy or daddy's bats for their 2 hour presentation. It's going to happen. Get wise. "Stay on top of it" is all I'm saying. Don't be cavalier.
"0" tolerance for under 18 when it comes to vaping or smoking.
"0" support for young vaping or smoking explorers. Get serious. Tell them!
It's about saving lives not looking cool. Saving our lives is what bought most of us here. We don't want to raise another generation of nicotine addicted smokers or vapers.
I'm not even going to state the obvious here because it's almost counter productive in this context.

Been smokin for 35 years. c.o.p.d. had been getting worse and have wanted to quit forever. But when my wife (non-smoker) started to cough more often..... well I thank God for the e-smoke. Lungs feel and sound great now, and we're both feeling better.

Not to mention, now when I perform weddings I can get through a whole ceremony without running out of breath. :)

I am a minister who is not allowed to smoke. When approached for ordination, I held onto the papers and refused to fill in one line and sign them until I quit smoking. I did quit for over 2 years. Then over the course of one year, my whole immediate family was gone, half died and the other half stabbed me in the back. I started smoking again, first cigars, then pipes. Nine months of heavy pipe smoking and I feel many times worse than any of the years of off and on light smoking I have done since I was a teen. I simply have to quit and reclaim my life.

I have several reasons, all equally important.

One is health, ecigs are HEALTHIER than analogs.

Two is the cost, as others have said, it was ridiculous

Another reason (and probably the main one) I had tried EVERYTHING to quit smoking and nothing worked. E-cigs did. Its that simple. I smoked for over 20 years, and when I say I tried everything, I mean that literally. I even tried hypnotism and accupuncture along with traditional ways of quitting!

No cigarette smell, being able to "smoke" anywhere, this would be my husbands number one reason.

That's right.normal smoker will spend 120-200 USD every month for regular cig.

seen like not too much.but for one year or 10 years.it become huge.

My number one reason for switching to e-cigs is my health. The money was never really a factor in smoking for me, but after 5 years of smoking 2 packs a day I could tell my lungs were really going downhill. I couldn't play sports anymore. I had a really good shot at becoming a sponsored skateboarder, but you can't skate when you can't breathe. I tried to quit a few times and actually did for about 5 months at one point. But after a while it got too hard for me and I was right back into it again. Then once I heard about e-cigs I jumped right on the bandwagon and was cigarette free within 2 weeks. It's been almost a year now and haven't touched a single one. I'm sure you are all with me when I say that I cannot express how much I am grateful for e-cigs, because they definitely saved my life.

So Im not really disagreeing with you and maybe Im wrong but for me even though I like the flavors, vaping was a pain in the A so much so that I switched to snus, and snuff, I now vape once in a while for recreation and TH but to try to vape to feed my nic habit wasnt happening, for one thing I need the maois in tob, for another thing my 510 would constantly be a hassle when I was out on the road, and then there was constantly charging batts. A lot of my smoking friends think vaping looks stupid not cool but I guess thats subjective.
