Redstar Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've been on these bad boys for the last couple of days with no temptation to go back to my sometimes 40 a day habit. I can honestly say I have not missed the regular fags...which believe me is a miracle...I have smoked for 30 years and do not want to give up. One of my mates over here in Baku has been on the e-cigs for 4 months now and was a very heavy smoker before. I've done a bit of searching on the net on the subject and can find no real downside...If anyone on here is looking for a safer way to still enjoy nicotine I would recommend this route. Cheaper, less anti-social and no cold turkey Link to comment
robbo Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 ive been advocating them for years. no burning parts means no tar or ash in your lungs, just nicotine then you exhale vapour which is allowed in indoors. smoking is banned. "vapourising" however isnt. Link to comment

tightbreeks Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 i got the marlboro lights flavour, you do get a bite on the throat, which is what you want. there's raspberry flavours and others as well! Link to comment

Betty Swallicks Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Pish! Smoke or don't. If you want to stop then stop, I don't want to hear about it. Most smokers are like fat birds who diet. Link to comment

Fair enough Chief but it's a terrible addiction and if this can help someone not die of cancer (no cancer inducing chemicals in nicotine vapour) and feel better is that such a bad thing...think about it we have pumped millions into evolving cars/computers and all sorts but with cigarettes is pretty much the same as when Sir Walter Raleigh took back the plant in the year dot....I for one think this is a pretty good idea Link to comment

Wasn't fair enough at all. Smoking has 2 major addicitions; the physical/behavioural "hand to mouth / something to do with my hand / i'm having a coffee so it's time for a smoke" and the chemical, nicotine. Breaking one addiction is tough, two at once is murder for many. This gets around the most damaging part of the experience while leaving the addictive behaviours intact. Sure nicotine is still not good for you but it pales compared to the damage that tar and smoke does to you. They're a good thing,. Link to comment

Breaking one addiction is tough, two at once is murder for many. So what addictions are you actually breaking in the act of putting a silly fake cigerate to your lips for a nicotine hit? Fuck all by the sounds of it. Ok you're not taking in the smoke and the tar but you're still addicted to nicotine and the whole 'smoking a faaaag' thing. Plus you look like a fanny smoking a toy fag. Just smoke or don't, simples. Link to comment

Just smoke or don't, simples.You're not breaking the addiction, which is the whole point of e-cigarettes. Who gives a shit about an addiction if you can make sure that addiction is minimally or not harmful for you. Harm reduction or mitigation is the thing. Getting rid of tar, smoke, benzene and other bloody awful chemicals in smokes from going into you is FAR more important than stopping an arbitrary addiction. If people then find they take that next step then great, but if not, still great because they've cut risks of all kinds of bad shit happening to them by a large amount. It's a positive outcome. Simples. Plus you look like a fanny smoking a toy fag. Really pretty grim fare when people looking to improve their health outcomes leads to this kind of idiotic comment. Link to comment

tup Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 FFS fag juice, what next. Folk dinna smoke fags because of nicotine, they smoke them because they make you look hard as nails standing in the bike shelter in comparison to the limp-wristed saps who are feared for themselves walking past furtively who choose not to. This is evidenced by the fact that once the fag is stubbed out, the non-smokers get a kicking from the smokers. Fags make you tough - scientific fact. Link to comment

This is day 13 for me, and approximately 5 booze up session and haven't been tempted once for a real cigarette. I actually think vaping is better! Got a eGo-T with Tribeca (or Torque 56) juice by the way! I've been subtlely vaping in certain establishments (ie. grill/bells) but others i just happily go for it and nobody has said anything. Edit: and using it at my desk all day at work is amazing! Link to comment
