I’ve smoked tobacco for 30 years. I believe the electronic cigarette is one of the best inventions to come along for smokers. I just cannot fathom why they would be regulated more than tobacco is when it is known how many people die each year from tobacco related illnesses. I realize that e-cigarettes are not good for you but, I also realize from personal experience that they are far from being as harmful as tobacco. I think, as well as others do, that the tobacco industry is going to suffer from a loss of customers and governments are going to suffer a loss of tax revenue. We are starting to see that our governments don’t care about our health as much as they care about our tax dollars. I’m afraid that e-cigarettes will wind up being taxed so much that a lot of people will continue to smoke tobacco. It takes a bit of will power to switch completely to e-cigs. The switch is made easier when there is both health and economical reasons. I spend about $26 a month now, as opposed to $150 with tobacco PLUS I feel better. I hope the government doesn’t screw this up.
