I have had n E-Cig fer 9/10 months now,after smoking heavy fer oer 50 yrs, everyone says i look miles better, n also lost me cough, But the "Only" reason i gave up is economic not health, otherwise i would still be on fags, Missus also tells me, i have lost me vile smell n breath, summat i'd obviously never noticed, so i'll stick as i am.:)

What's the saving to you Cashy between fags and using E-cigs

I'm sure flashy said hers were zero nicotine but she still stopped cigs( although she wasn't a heavy smoker). So in her case which bit is the medicine?



You've got me there, DinG-elaborate please. It's all this carbon monoxide in my blood, stops me thinking(or perhaps it's senility).

lol i did say some have no nicotine.I have a batch of strawberry with zero nicotine in and a seperate bach of tobbacco flavour with a tiny bit of nicotine

basically two things have happened here

1: nicorette have been kicking up a right fuss because they are loosing money hand over fist to e-cigs.Rather than compete they have pestered government and have also started visous lies that e-cigs are dangerous and you dont know whats in them via information they pass on to smoking cessation who promote the hell out of nicorette products

2: just as when diesil was half teh price of petrol government have seen that theres a lot of money been spent on a product and have decided to tax the hell out of it.People switched to diesil cars because fuel was cheaper and you got more miles to teh gallon.This was good because government wanted people to use less fossil fuels for this enviroment bull they were spewing but as soon as the public do as asked government punished them for it.

while i on this matter have you noticed that when all these so called energy saving things came out like those not so light light bulbs and companies made their electronics more energy friendly british gas and others bumped up the cost of electricity and gas ?

the public use less so british gas were taking a hit so charged double for what was been used just like whats happened with diesil

country run by crooks who devise ways of making each other money

soap box away for a bit lol

The best thing will be that your health will improve too Cashy, that's the biggest plus
 
Loss of sales by tobacco companies, NRT companies, pharmaceutical companies but most important loss of tax! Major money losses.
How long before some wizz kid in the Treasury says' We only taxed taxed tobacco because it had nicotine in it and was totally addictive so we got lots of money.So does e liquid so we should tax that similarly. That gives us a win/win situation!'

'Infamy. Infamy! They've all got it in for me'.
 
I've not been tempted off the weed yet, haven't wanted to buy into the efag society, but the results for friends so far have been miraculous.
30 or 40 years a smoker and they have almost quit over night.
IF there are harmful products in the ingredients surely six months worth of them to end up quitting should be encouraged? It can't be any worse.
 
I considered getting one but was put off by what is in the liquid - it does seem to vary between brands. There are likely as many unscrupulous rogues in that industry as there are in pharmacuticals so I have stayed with my hand rolling, adding herbs.

After 55 years puffing away like a trooper I am almost weaned off them, (though it took the forest of birch trees to finally convince me). :D

Sometimes mags you come across as over cautious, I bet you won't buy beef from a butchers unless you've seen a written log from the farmer showing what make of toilet roll he used to wipe the cows arse!

I've not stopped the weed altogether but I'm getting there.

We use those little plastic filters for our cigs. They soon clog up after 10 to 15 ordinary cigs but home rolled- 5 or 6 and they're disgusting. When you see all that black goo you wonder(no, you know) what your lungs are like.

Whatever is in e cigs it can't be as bad as that!

Even worse, don't you smoke Golden Virginia, MargaretR? That really is strong stuff, it's like inhaling iron filings and you should see the little filters after 3 or 4 of those!

Remember "cool as a mountain stream" ads -
Menthol cigs are now banned by the EU
EU Agrees Ban on Menthol Cigarettes - Guy Fawkes' blog

If you like them there is nothing to stop you from buying menthol crystals from a chemist and dipping the lit end of a fag in them (knew someone who did just that)

PS I only eat organic beef - I keep big eared Charlie in profit:( - Duchy Originals

I have a cigarette holder and use pipe cleaners on it, also roll up using filters.

My sentiments exactly Gordon, Thing i found wi E-Cigs is different quality, i tried one which i found no use, but the one i paid more for i find great, brings home to me= yeh get what yeh pay fer.;)
 
Well Gordon I'll probably try it but I'll probably wait until the government slap a tax on it, then buy from the smugglers, I believe contraband baccy is really cheap, no doubt soon gallons of this stuff will be brought across the channel to satisfy the needs of those wanting to stop.

Ooh, hang on, If they smuggle it in will they make it addictive?
They'd be worse than HM Customs for not wanting us to stop.
 
In case you didn't know - menthol is derived from mint
What Is The Use Of Menthol? | LIVESTRONG.COM

"Typically derived from the herbs peppermint, eucalyptus and pennyroyal, menthol is a compound made from herbal volatile oils that has many potential health benefits. Applied topically or taken orally, menthol has been shown to help treat gastrointestinal problems, pain, inflammation and congestion. Consult your health care provider before using menthol on your skin or taking it internally to treat any medical condition."

You should try them, Less. Even in Spain cigarettes are 4.5 euros.
Like cashman says, if you try, spend a bit extra on a good one. We tried the Ecig brand you can buy at supermarkets, looks like an ordinary cig, you can burst a lung trying to get a satisfying 'drag' and they taste foul. My wife gave up trying.
Don't know what cashman uses but I sent up for a JacVapour- draw hard and it looks looks like a tear gas grenade going off and the liquid is OK and very effective. £5 bottle lasts a week and I'm hammering it!
