As someone who lost their father to COPD, I tried an alternative to tobacco. After getting very ill with Chantix, I knew I had to try something else. I started with disposable cartoms of electronic cigarettes. Then I bought a mod kit. I buy e oil locally. I find that since I have asthma, as well as my kids, I hardly ever use my inhaler, (albuterol). It is nice not to stink like smoke, windows of the car are not messed up with tar, I can smell again. I would definitely recommend electronic cigs to anyone who needs to quit, cut down, or just plain save money. They are less expensive, cleaner and smell better. Leave no oder in the home, on you, or bother anyone. So if big brother wants to lie and say it is not true, you are a liar. The FDA approves thousands of meds every day, with insufficient evidence, small clinical trials, little time. Thousands of lawsuits are pending their rash decisions. Now to say ecigs are bad, be real. Less toxic than the 4000 chemical tobacco sticks that you tax to death that are killing people. All in all, I say, LEAVE US ALONE, KEEP YOUR GREEDY HANDS OFF OF ANYTHING THE PEOPLE WANT. WE MAKE IT, WE USE IT, YOU TAX IT TO DEATH. This is supposed to be a free country. Then we are free to do as we will with our own decisions, without goverment interference. You greedy SOB’s just want to jump on board, get your greedy little hands in the cookie jar. I say, go away. I make my own decisions, you do nothing for me. C. Davis, Springfield, Il.
