Comments on: Electronic Cigarettes Not a Safe Alternative to Conventional Cigs

Excuse me Brandon, but why is it you posted that on this site? The comments left are going over the effects of ecigs on a body as oppossed to the effects of real cigs on a body. Many people, as I am, are forced to ponder this. You are correct in that it is preferable to not put any toxins in ones body, but you are not taking into consideration how this product is being used. Some are using it to continue using nicotine without smoking tobacco, and some are using it to ween themselves off of nicotine in general. I use it as a failsafe. I’m in the long process of quitting smoking, and I use this product when I am forced to decide between keeping up not smoking and running to the corner store to get my fix.

This conversation is secular, why bring ancient monotheism into it? I can relate to your religion. I am a smoker, and I know how it feels to need a “crutch” in life. In other words, I view my disgusting smoking habit similarly to your abhorrent religious condition. Both causes us to needlessly bother others: me in my smoking in public and you with your shoveling ancient myths down the throats of people while having a logic-based discussion. I usually let things like this go by without remark from me. I am not one to push my beliefs on others, but it seems christians have this horrible habit of wanting to save the world (though ironically they want the world to end, just read revelations) and yours was so absurd that I felt the need to remark upon it. You cannot understand my need to put toxins in my body, and I cannot understand your psychological need to follow the traditions of a religion founded by a guy talking to a burning bush. Lets leave it at that.

From now on, lets keep the topic on gycol and nitrosamines.

I just got some electronic cigarettes in the mail from England.
Along with a jar of acai berry pills?!
I have never smoked, or used acai berries, or signed up to receive such things.

I find it appalling that the cigarette industry is so desperate that they will resort to junk mail with electronic cigarettes in it.

There needs to be legislation to stop people from sending drugs in the mail.

The FDA is not too concerned with getting the real tobacco cigs off of the market are they? As usual, they are in it for the money and could care less about our health.
Green Smokes are the e-cigs I have found to be the best. I have been going strong for 2 months and am able to breath and exercise the way I was able to before smoking!

I purchased two brands at my local tobacco store: Ehealth and Elektro. I prefer Elecktro ecig out of the two. I am going on two weeks without regular smoking. I love the “no stink” of smoke on me. I found that purchasing online was much cheaper. If you decide to do ecigs in order to quit smoking, make sure to purchase enough cartridges to keep you going. I started with 8 mg, then 4mg and working towards 0 mg. Elektro also has the built in vaporizer in each cartridge so no need to replace or clean. Good luck to all who seek to quit.

I believe there won’t be enough people converting to electronic cigs to make the government worry too much about the loss in tax dollars. But I do believe that this is a great alternative. I tried one and I am currently waiting for my e-cigs to arrive. I have constant lung problems from smoking. Anything that will reduce the problems even slightly or the smallest fraction you can think of is enough for me to switch,Since I haven’t been able to quit and I have been trying for about 8 years and smoked about 11 years.. Besides no smell really helps alot I hate smoking in the car. Even if it isn’t going to help my lung problems it still will provide a nice way to get nicotine.

I just ordered some from the Smoking Everywhere and I will see if it “feeds the monkey.”
–I fail to see how it can be any worse than regular smoking.

Here is a key point NOT touched upon:
Although the government SAYS they want us to quit–They can’t AFFORD for us to quit!
-The new Kids health program State Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) (http://www.heritage.org/Research/HealthCare/wm1548.cfm)
is funded by smokers so (unfortunately) the government has a HUGE incentive to find these “harmful.” Don’t want to get out my “Tin Foil Cap” just yet but…….

All I can say is wow why put a poisoness substance in your body to kill you slowly it does not make since to me God did not create your body to suck up toxcins . Wake up people this is rich people getting rich and they don’t care about your health think about your kids your family and God. Check this out what the Bible says: The use of tobacco injures health and defiles the body. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17.

Nicotine is an addictive substance that enslaves people. Romans 6:16 says that we become servants to whomever (or whatever) we yield ourselves. Tobacco users are servants of nicotine. Jesus says, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Matthew 4:10.

The tobacco habit is unclean. “Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17. It is really preposterous to think of Christ using tobacco in any form, isn’t it?

The use of tobacco wastes money. “Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?” Isaiah 55:2. We are God’s stewards of the money given us, and “it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” 1 Corinthians 4:2.

The use of tobacco never draws anyone closer to Christ. “Abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” 1 Peter 2:11. Tobacco use is a fleshly lust.

The use of tobacco shortens life. Recent scientific findings confirm the fact that the use of tobacco often shortens the life span by as much as one-third. This breaks God’s command against killing (Exodus 20:13). Even though it is slow murder, it is still murder. One of the best ways to postpone your funeral is to quit using tobacco. If you care about your health please look at this website you will be blessed that God cares about your health take care and God bless. http://www.amazingfacts.org/FreeStuff/BibleStudies/StudyGuides/tabid/105/ctl/ViewMedia/mid/453/IID/2-13/LNG/en/SC/R/Default.aspx?7=God’s-Free-Health-Plan

As I am sure will be the case in months and years to come with many more smokers, I have only recently come to find out about ecigs. I am trying at length to research more about them as they sound like a miracle product, but I must remain somewhat leery as I am still learning about them. I appreciate the very detailed and educated testimonials on this page and am wondering if anyone could recommend a good product at a good price. Personally, I smoke Camel Lights and am NOT a fan of menthol or flavored cigarettes traditionally. If anyone could recommend a specific brand of ecig and maybe a flavor or two that I might be ok with, it would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks so much :)

It seems that the FDA is focused on stating that the diethylene glycol (DEG) they found in my e-cigarette is found in anti-freeze which is scary, to say the least. But a simple search of DEG on google and I found that tobacco companies use it as a humectant to promote moisture retention in their product. However, I cannot find anything that states the amount of DEG (byproduct?) found in tobacco. I would like to research it a little more but it boils down to me that a regular cigarette is worse than my electronic one AND I can get one with no nicotine. How is that bad?
