if this was widely accepted, imagine how many people would pick this up just to be able to do it wherever they please, as opposed to smoking actual cigs.

then again, if some ******* ever smoked one of these next to me in a movie theater, i would slap him. solely because of the damn led light going off next to me.
im not trying to be rude or anything, im just curious as to why you dont think this is a good thing.

It's not as good though. This is not a replacement for cigarettes.

If you want nicotine, there are better methods.

How so?

I've smoked an electronic cigarette before. If the Blue E-cigs are like the one i hit (probably identical) then i'd just rather buy regular cigs. e-cigs look and feel like your smokin a pen rather than a cigarette.

bam wannabe · 05-16-2009, 11:44 AM

true. i know it's not meant to fully be a replacement for cigarettes or to help you quit.
but for some people, i dont see why it wouldnt work. i smoke easily a pack a day, and i dont just do it for the nicotine. i also do it because i started socially smoking. it's become a habit to just sit on my patio and smkoe a cig when i'm bored, waiting for someone to come by, or for whatever reason. but if this is able to still give me the nicotine, then i would rather pick this up than something like say, chewing tobacco.

considering they make them with high, medium, low and no nicotine, i dont see why someone cant start at high for a full affect and then over time work their way down to no nicotine. it's possible, but im sure really hard for some people. plus it would help me with the "smoking while bored" routine.

tldr; if i can still get the nicotine without every chemical known to man being mixed in with it... i would do it. when i can afford it

this is towards pimpslayer. for those who cant figure that out.

It's because smokers enjoy the dangers of their habit and smelling like ****.

1. You don't get the flavor. It looks good on paper, in reality it's totally different. It tastes like ****. Not to mention some of that liquid comes out and numbs your lips and whatnot.
2. Hard to hit.
3. Not as good of a buss.
4. ****ty experience in general.

If you're a smoker, try one and see. DO NOT BUY ONE, try one.

Unfortunately, a lof of the things you mentioned are going to be different for each user. For instance, the OP says it gives a great buzz, tastes great, and is very smooth.

Well everything is an opinion I guess. I'm just saying what my experiance is. I believe that it is a gimmick.

Well then your opinion is what matters to you and you're right to want to share it. However, I'm still going to see if I can get my mom to switch to these.

So no cancer risks and breathing troubles?

Same here... I've already talked to her about it.

The only problem with this is, she won't keep on it. If she liked cigarettes, she had might as well just quit then use these.

I also cough up a lung when using these oddly. I do not cough from cigarettes. Sames can attest to this for me.

but some people can't just quit due to the nicotine addiction.
i see this as a good way to still get the nicotine while trying to settle down from smoking over a pack a day of cigarettes.

Then use an alternate form of nicotine.

It isn't the nicotine exactly. Since I started using smokeless tobacco, I get better buzzes, its safer, I can use it wherever, etc. I still miss the habit of going out for a smoke. However I tried smoking again earlier this week and I can't do it anymore. I don't even know how I did it for over a year.

Assuming it isn't made in America by Phillip Morris or RJ Reynolds, it's fine.

Yeah. I don't really want to talk about snus very often. More people will try it, it will get more attention, and taxes will go up.
