I smoked for thirty nine years. I had been diagnosed with COPD several yrs ago and was told to stop smoking. I liked smoking and it seemed to help my nerves. Never quit. Well my cousin died of COPD….He had a horrible death gasping for breath. I heard about the E-Cigarettes and decided to try. I made my mind up that if i could get addicted to cigarettes I could get addicted to this device and it was better than smoking. My doctor told me he would rather ME use the e cig than smoke. I have not smoked in three yrs. I think I would probably be on my death bed right now if i had not switched over. I think we have right to choose. They sell alcohol that kills other people if drinking while driving. This E CIG does not hurt anyone. We should have a choice to use it. If we can smoke real cigarettes then we should be able to us these devices. If young people are going to try this it’s Much healthier than smoking real cigarettes. I no longer cough and I feel so much better. We have a right to choose. You are saying it’s alright to smoke an drink but not to use a electronic cigarette….that is just stupid. We have freedom and should be able to choose.
