The e-cig (Greensmoke brand) that my Mom sent me from the US has changed my life! I’ve smoked on and off since I was 16 years old. Every time I quit, I’d start again on a big night out drinking. When I’d drink, I’d smoke a pack a night, on top of my usual pack a day. For the last 3 years with the e-cig, my real cig consumption has gone down to 5-10 per month. It was around 600 real cigs a month. I feel so much better health wise, I just turned 40 and feel as healthy as I did as a teen. And there has been a massive cost savings. A pack of real cigs in Australia is approx $22, and the Greensmoke cartridge is approx $4. I’ve hooked at least 15 people up with Greensmokes from the US in Australia. There are other brands here, but they taste bad, or require being filled with a syringe, etc. In Australia, they class nicotine as a poison, unless it’s in real cigs or other quit-smoking things such as gum or patches. Which makes it difficult to obtain e-cigs with nicotine. We have to import them. Which is infuriating! We have some of the strictest anti-smoking measures in the world, we know real cigs actually do poison people, yet they class nicotine as poison, which means good e-cigs are basically impossible to buy here (without importation). E-cigs have been around for more than a decade. Yet they claim they don’t know yet if they’re safe? I can guarantee they’re much safer than real cigs! Not just health wise, but they don’t burn anything (kids, other people, clothes, houses, forests, etc). Plus, real ciggie butts are the most littered object around. Real cigs are disgusting…they’re dirty, they stink, give you wrinkles, ash everywhere, start fires, make your teeth yellow, burn people, mess with your heart, your lungs, give people cancers, etc. E-cigs are giving smokers’ their lives back.
