For Christmas last year, I received an electronic cigarette kit. Over the month of January 2013, I transitioned from regular to electronic cigarettes and was completely smoke free by the end of the month. Since, my lungs have cleared, my taste has returned and I no longer smell like a walking ash tray. Electronic cigarettes may not be completely risk free, but they are so much better that banning or over regulating them would be a travesty. Many people would return to smoking toxic, deadly tobacco cigarettes. In days where healthcare and its costs are of big concern to an ever longer lasting population, why do anything to hamper people from transitioning from a known killer to something that is known much safer. Even in the respect of danger from fires, e-cigs are undoubtedly the safer, better choice!
