    E-Cigarette

    With a pack of cigarette being like 7-8 bucks where I live, I'm thinking of getting one of these instead.

    Anyone have any experience with this and have any specific model to recommend?

    I have doubts about these, and while the cigarettes in my area are still under $5, I will smoke the real things.

    E-Cigarettes just give the users nicotine. The plus about it is that the user doesn't have to quit the habit of actually "smoking". I guess it's some psychological thing that makes it a little easier to quit compared to gums/patches. Also because they can still look cool. Yeaaaaa.

    It is way healthier than smoking the real thing.

    My instructor at school uses them when she is at home. She says that she loves it because it is smokeless so she can use it in the house. She also said it is expensive upfront but ends up being waaay cheaper in the long run.

    It's too bad Phillip Morris or other companies can't ban you from cigarettes though.

    I see the salesmen for these at the mall all the time acting like they're cool.

    Fucking retarded. Good idea, but fucking retarded. They try to get everyone to try them out. Even non-smokers.

    "All the coolness and taste of a cigarette without the smoke and dangerous carcinogens". Right. Because standing around puffing smoke is cool.

    I got one, and it's okay, but I have to admit that because my girlfriend hasn't made the switch yet, my self-control regarding smoking cigarettes has gone to shit. Hopefully when she makes the switch I'll be able to discipline myself. The main hardship is that even though you're getting nicotine, your body still craves all the other crap that's in cigarettes.

    You don't get the sweaty feeling that you get from nicotine withdrawal, but you do still get some sort of feeling that your body is craving something. I'd recommend it if you have slightly high willpower.

    I do not know of any websites that sell cigarettes. Besides, I believe there are some laws about that now, something along the lines of paying the sales tax of the region they're sent to.

    I wonder what my fellow alcohol connoisseurs will do when the witch hunt towards smokers/smoking changes direction towards them? It's the same goddamn thing. It's unhealthy in the lung run, with little damage occurring at first. Now, for example, smokers in Illinois have to sit outside in the rain, snow, jjust to have a cigarette. The smoking sections weren't enough? No, lol, when I worked at Denny's, I had people be sitted in the SMOKING section and then complain about the smoke/smell.

    Mother of God, why have you allowed our species to devolve into such idiotic pieces of shit? Grr, at any rate, the e-cig is nice and all, but it's not something I'm interested in.

    Staying on topic, I've had my e-cig for awhile and my problem has always been with atomizers. I read online that if you don't drain the cartridge and make an effort to keep the atomizer moist that it improves it's lifetime, which is something you should consider since some of these things die in a month.
