Keep your smoking clean with E-Cigarette
(Credit:
Smoking Everywhere)
Personally, I am very much against smoking, possibly more than I should be for my own good.
However, having known many smokers in my life, I also understand that smoking is probably the hardest, among human being's bad habits, to get rid off. And in the meantime, when you smoke, you're harming your health and that of those around you, while smelling really bad. There I go again!
The point is you hate to see your dad smoke his life away but you wouldn't want to see him suffer when he needs a fix, either. So how about getting him a pack of electronic cigarette?
This is what Smoking Everywhere offers. Allegedly, its product looks like a cigarette, tastes like a cigarette, feels like a cigarette, but it isn't a cigarette. It contains no tobacco, and the "smoke" is vapor. For this reason, it can be used indoor at public places where regular smoking is banned.
The E-Cigarette does contain, however, the substance that makes you addicted and therefore the main reason why you keep smoking: Nicotine. Basically, the E-Cigarette offers a real smoking experience without any of the unpleasant side-effects of traditional tobacco smoking.
According to Smoking Everywhere, as you inhale the E-Cigarette, a tiny battery vaporizes liquid inside the cigarette to produce the smoke-like vapor. At the same time, the Nicotine cartridge will release nicotine to satisfy the withdrawal.
Depending on how heavy of a smoker you are, you can choose between three options of Nicotine cartridges: High (16mg), Medium (11mg) and Low (6mg). For those who like smoking just for the act of smoking, they can pick the None (0mg) cartridge. You can also choose from different flavors, just like in real cigarettes.
A Smoking Every E-Cigarete Kit costs $149 and includes two Electric Cigarette rechargeable batteries, five high-strength (16mg) tobacco flavored cartridges, a main charger adapter, a power lead and a manual. It also comes with a one-year warranty.
It's important to note that, when you smoke the E-Cigarette, the tip of the cigarette also light up, not by flame but via an LED. The cigarette, for this reason will not produce ash or get shorter. Each cartridge is equivalent to about 20 real cigarettes.
I don't smoke and therefore don't know how different the E-Cigarette is from a real one. You can check out some real experience here. I do believe, however, this is a good way for you to slowly quit.
Though different from the real cigarette in many ways, the E-Cigarette has one thing in common: you will not be able to return it once you have smoked it.

Eric Franklin's colleagues once had the following to say to him: "Eric, you've been doing this performance testing thing for over 10 years now. How about you try something different?" To which Eric responded, "How about you shut the #%$@! up?" This candid attitude
allows him to go toe-to-toe with the most extreme of personalities, including that of Dong Ngo. This bio was written by Eric Franklin.

To be fair, downsides:
-E-cigarettes have "flavors". I think I know who the "flavors" are marketed at....future customers (i.e. kids)
-untested drug effects. No one I have heard of knows the long term effects of JUST nicotine, or how effective/consistent/accurate this type of nicotine delivery system is. For the sake of smokers and second-hand victims around the world, i hope future lab tests prove favorable.

This is how all cigarettes should be. I don't understand why they make cigarettes so dangerous when they can make them very safe... and then more people would buy them!
In general though, I think the outcry against smokers, especially in urban areas is really starting to infringe on people's rights. Designated smoking areas, I can totally see the need for. Not smoking within 20-25 feet of a public entrance to a building, sure. Now the anti-smoking contingent (with the help of the government) are looking to get smoking banned in entire city limits. Giving smokers no refuge at all is a total rights infringement and totally unwarranted.
Last time I checked, there was nothing in the Bill of Rights for a person to have the right to smoke.
That said, what you do in your own space (house, land, car) is your choice, but if it is a shared space, the game changes.
I like loud music...really loud music, but out of respect for people around me (and various laws), I only do this in my personal spaces.
It's the same basic concept.
"they don't have the same flavor as regular tobacco" - not true. They have many tobacco flavorings which are very close to common tobacco brands, in addition to other flavors.
I have an E-cig and true its not a clove. it hasnt the Hooka effect which i still use. BUT that being said, It has allowed me to no longer smell like a clove, or cigartte. Nor does my home smell as one. My clothes stay fresh, my car is clean, my freinds dont shy away, and i save a ton of money! Oh and my health insurance can go down bescuse im no LONGER a smoker perhaps?
The E-cig has been a blessing. i can breath better, smell the world around mebetter, taste foods so much cleaner now. I will say that there is a transistion period from the physcological addition of actually smoking to using one. but short lived. It has no fire, no ash, no more holes in shirts or pants from fallen hot ash. its a win win in my book.
while true i still have an addiction to Nicotine, its waning slowly as i reduce the amount used and enjoy the sensation and for me, a cesation.
If we're to worry of the addiction of Nicotine, lets also worry of the caffine in coffee, which is a drug as well and listed as such, that many have to have? That we supply children of many ages world wide? start your day each day with no coffee or that coke for that kick start. As to its addictive or not? its undecided and argued, but its effects are many, and its costs huge.
Lets remove alcohol world wide and the addiction it has over many. Do you want silly looking? watch someone who has had to many drinks... thats not just silly but sad.
There are many many arguements one can make pro and con. A silly E-cig to many, a blessing to others. To date i have lost count of those i know who quit nicotine totay by using an E-cig. its not sold as a stop smioking device, yet many have over come nicotines grasp by using them.
BUT to the nay sayers of thier validity, appearance and use? lets not have Electronic Cigarettes in favor of tobacco based items... that do smell... that do contain up to 4000 chemicals, many which are toxins, poisons and carcenigens.. whats 400,000 deaths annualy attributed and associated to the use of tobacco based cigarettes and products.
Or be it that smoking cigarettes a new, twisted sadistic form of population control? or... a tobacco lobbiest has made someones life, in a posistion of power somuch more "comfortable?
me parinoid? NOoooo not me...
As far as I am concerned all this ghastly restriction has resulted in the end of the availability of a cigarette for connoisseurs.

There are limits on where you can drink, eat and sleep as well. It is about personal responsibility and respect for people around you.

It is about being respectful of people around you. I don't want to smell this crap anymore than you want to smell me after I have been on a all day bike ride. Most smokers do not realize just how nasty this stuff smells to a non-smoker. The result is many non-smokers have become very militant on this topic and have pushed for the laws.
I think there that it should be a Business Decision. The state should say that in Public places, buildings, airplanes, what ever...sure; Non-Smokers win. But if a Bar or a Restaurant want a smoking section, or has no policy against smoking...its your choice to not go there if you don't want the smoke. Let Capitalism decide who wins the fight.
They have plenty of info and like the others, a good place to get the electric cigarette for less.
There really is not much more to it other than this is a device that takes the place of a real cigarette and eliminates most of the hazard associated with the real tobacco cigarette.
There's masses of information and debate at e-cigarette-forum.com and I highly recommend you pop over there to find out more....
So I'm fully supportive of these products, but I've found much cheaper, good quality ones at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cannotstopsmoking.com">http://www.cannotstopsmoking.com</a> . It's a UK based outfit and so the current exchange rat helps.

Non smokers have objections to second hand smoke, smell etc. This product removes these objections. Non smokers are still whining. What gives? once you remove the smoke inhalation and carcinogens, how is this any different than caffiene.
Should I judge you for your daily caffiene intake?
How are you?

- I am the occasional smoker and recently just found out about these e-cigarettes. I decided to buy some of the cigars for a bachelor party, and wow what a hit. We ended up being able to smoke them at the bars and other places albeit with a little explaining. I got mine at www.getruyanusa.com. They seem to be a legit place and I got them quick with no hassles. The vapor they produce smells like coffee and disipates quickly. I think these things will take off quick. As for any health concerns all of the chatter seems to point to RUYAN doing a lot of research to ensure safety.
