Smoked for 25 years. Began at 16, quit around 40. Thereafter smoked intermittently, usually when under stress, or if I happened to be somewhere where smoking was permitted (Las Vegas). Accidentally discovered e-cigs, and absolutely love them. They replicate the smoking experience very well (the parts that are important to me, a little bit of a nicotine boost, the need to puff, the nice smoke swirling around). But miraculously, they have none of the negative. No smell, on me or in my home. The pets and humans aren’t bothered by what is actually water vapor. My voice is no longer descending in tone. My clothes don’t smell. My hair doesn’t smell. I don’t cough. I no longer bring up excess phlegm. My throat isn’t sore. Just smoking without any negative side effects. I absolutely love them, and implore anyone who is thinking of restricting this product in any way, to talk to former smokers. This product is an absolute lifesaver. Don’t restrict it. Don’t damage it in any way.
