Just curious. Does anyone here use one and where do you get them? I've decided to take up smoking with the healthier alternative. ?

Let me tell you that it isnt healthier. It may be less unhealthy but that is about it. It gives you a shot of nicotene. And that is not healthier than having nicotene and tar. It's just less unhealthy. I've got one and I give it a go. But you dont get the same "hit" as you do from a genuine gwaai. Makes me wonder what I'm actually addicted to.

Thanks guys!

Look I can imagine its not healthy. I don't see how any addiction can be healthy but if it doesn't bugger up your lugs thats one hell of a lot better in my opinion.

What about a pipe? At least that doesn't have chemicals and all the other crazy things in it.

Whatcha wanna smoke tobbaco for anyway? And if you wanna smoke, don't start doing silly things like worrying about your health.

No? What do they flavor the twak with? Look, the thing to do is to feel like stopping. On past occasions when I have stopped, I have bamboozled mtself that right now I just dont feel like smoking. And then five minutes later, you gotto bamboozle yourself again and so on. And I am easily bamboozleable so it worked for a while, until I discovered I was being bamboozled and then it all fell down. So, I'm working on getting myself hoodwinked longer now. We'll see.

I'm an old dude who smoked for many, many years and 2 years ago I decided to stop; not because of the health benefits but because I was battling to sing and hold a note for any length of time... sheer madness I tell you. The smoke just had to go from the lungs but the brain still needed the nicotine, which I was seriously addicted to. So, I started chewing Nicorettes. The crazy thing is that I suffered painful mouth lesions and ulcers all to get my nicotine fix.... and that for about 16 months. But finally I became thoroughly gatvol of the whole gum-chewing story and gave it all up, so I have been completely free of any controlling substance for 8 months now. Anyway the reason for this post is that if the electronic cigarettes, or anything else legal, will help you to get off tobacco then do it... you will not regret it.

Oh... I didn't mention that it isn't for me ? Im not a smoker and never have been.

Should have probably mentioned that in my first post.

It's for my someone else who seems pretty determined to continue smoking.

A lot of youngsters are puffing away on a modern take of the old "hubbly bubbly" these days...
