Short and sweet. I smoked for 11 years. A year or so ago I tried some random brand of ecig, it tasted bland and didn’t satisfy the craving. A few weeks ago I bought another, I won’t shamelessly advertise what brand, but the light is blue. I haven’t smoked since. The other day, on break at work, I asked a friend for a cigarette because my batteries were dead and I couldn’t vape. I only took five or six hits before I felt sick, and I used to smoke a pack and a half a day. It’s amazing how clearly you can feel all the trash in cigarette smoke after you’ve gotten used to just nicotine and water. Our supervisors didn’t like them, until we explained that we were exhaling water vapor. Now they don’t care. I get the same reaction everywhere. I still don’t vape around my daughter, out of habit, and I probably never will. Not because of the health risks (there are none), but rather because I don’t want her getting curious. Safe or not, it’s still nicotine, she doesn’t need it. While I’m at it, if you’ve been told they cause pneumonia from the vapor inhalation, consider the amount of water vapor you inhale in the shower. Tobacco companies will pay through the nose to get any laws passed that they can, ecigs are going to kill them. I like putting nails in their coffin.
