I was a smoker since the age of 12.i bought an electronic cigarette because it was allowed to be smoked at the poker table in Atlantic City. I had no intention of quitting smoking onky to smoke the electronic cigarette wile playing poker but that was not the case. I ended up quitting smoking and only smoking the electronic cigarette and I still had over 3 cartons of cigarettes in my freezer. These are nothing like the real thing other than the nicotine. I fell so much better than when I was smoking. I can tie my shoes without huffing and puffing. I just feel better all around. It is nonsense to treat these as real cigarettes because they are far from it. It is also helping the economy with new jobs as well businesses that people sank life savings into are going to be crushed and that is not fair to them or us. Thanks for reading hope you choose to do the correct thing. Walter Allen
