Yeah I hear what you are saying. I am a recovering alcholic myself. Going on 2 years without a drink.

That said, when I wake up tomorrow and take my first puff, I wont be a smoker anymore.

Nicotine gets a bad wrap. It is suffering from guilt by association. They processes involved in smoking, things like carbon monoxide, and arsenic are the things that are bad for you.

Many doctors are actually recommending e cigs for their patients that can't quit.
Nicotine, in itself isnt anymore harmful for a person than caffiene or saccharin...all can increase blood pressure, but a child can go buy a soda or a parent can buy a box of sweet and low at the grocery store.

Look I am not say e cigs are a health food. lol

And I am not suggesting someone buy these to start vaping.

But for smokers like myself, who can't quit...the only other option is to continue to use a product that will kill us makes no sense when we can now use a product that wont kill us, and for all intents and purposes is harmless.

And for the record, my only interest in this is for that preceeding paragraph. I make no profit or gain from what people do with this information.

All I know is that I wont smoke another cigarette or harm my lungs further.

That is a God send.

(one note) I am still in the learning phase....some Docs say Nicotine is harmful, some say it's not..I have only been researching this for a couple of weeks. But in my research I have read a ton of articles and watched a lot of video on it.

From what I have seen, this is a legimate option for those of us who suffer and have no other way out.
