I looked this subject up today and am furious! I have quit smoking 3 times n my life on the patch. Twice for a 1 n a half n once for 4 years. I started when I was 13. But I am able to quit. I chose ecigs as a method for smoking that wouldn’t cause a lot of smoke build-up, save money, etc. I got use to the fruity flavors and no longer enjoy the taste of a typical tobacco flavor nor menthol. I am an addict of nicotine however and my intentions were NOT to quit but to find a way that is more beneficial. Been smoking ecigs since the last week of May. Noticed differences in oils and flavors. I do not like vg and have been using a cherry flavor lately. I smoked vg flavors to start. Maybe this is some insight. Bc not long after I dropped vg and started this nice cherry flavor I noticed my gums started to bleed started in back worked its way throughout. My teeth feel sensitive like how ones mouth fills after smoking too much dope. I am extremely dissatisfied feeling deceived by the hype and seeing so many others disillusioned. Not happy. Will b using the patch and quitting altogether. Smoking isn’t even worth my time as I am no longer finding pleasure in it. Not to mention, the technical problems wit ecigs r many as well. Poisonous and a waste :c
