OMG, my life has been changed! E-Cigs..

    Bought an E-Cigarette yesterday. I've been smoking for over 20 years - about 35-a-day - and this gadget has changed my life.

    No tar or other carcinogenic substances or ingredients harmful to human body. Eliminating about 3,000 other harmful chemicals. No second-hand smoke - you can smoke them anywhere as they only produce a vapor-like smoke. No smell or nothing.

    Cost about €12 a week to feed my habit, as against €120 on real cigarettes. This is a revolutionary product, the tobacco companies should be worried, big time!

    I know there's an Vaping & E-Smoking forum, but trying to get this message out to as many people as possible. Make the change today!

    Charlie Sheen has recently launched his own e cigarette company, NicoSheen. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Kate Moss and Leonardo DiCaprio have also made the switch.

    Here is Katherine Heigl on David Letterman with her e-cigarette.

    Anything else and this would be considered spamming, not sure how e-cigs are any different.

    Second that Bro!

    Off the ciggies nearly 2 months now.

    Smoked 20 a day for 23 years & tried everything to quit.

    Made the switch effortlessly.

    Enjoy Nicotine (which is harmless) without the harmful side effects of smoking.

    How are more people are not into this?:confused:

    Spamming? E-cigs only contain nicotine, it's the tar that sticks to your lungs and give you cancer. With vaping on an e-cig, you're taking in nicotine, just like buying a patch at the chemist. Nicotine in itself, is no more harmful than caffeine.

    A fake cigarette prompted armed police to swoop on a coach on the M6 Toll road and close the motorway for more than four hours.

    Forty eight passengers on the Megabus Preston to London service were led off the coach and forced to sit apart in a cordon on the opposite carriageway.

    The road was closed near Lichfield before police said they were no longer treating the incident as suspicious.

    Police said they received a "genuine report" of vapour escaping from a bag.

    I used to smoke Marlboro. I went for the Kanger Starter Pack. It was recommended to me on the Vaping & E-Smoking Forum

    Well, it's better that all those Gay threads that's been popping up here.

    E-Cigs can save lives.

    I'm well impressed by them.

    Where did you buy it? I want to buy one to stop me smoking on nights out (don't smoke other than that) but can't find out where they're sold.

    Pity they didn't work for you. Maybe try them again? Working a treat for me, and I was a hardcore smoker.

    To add to the "be careful where you smoke them," point, I actually got jumped on recently by a scumbag masquerading as a bouncer of a nightclub (I won't say where) as I was smoking one on the way out. His face went white when the head doorman intervened, I asked him what I'd done to deserve someone trying to choke me out, then when the 'bouncer' said I had been smoking inside, I tipped the top and said, "Eh, they're electronic, dickhead." I haven't seen him work there since.

    Most venues are sound about it, though. That's the first time I've had any kind of trouble. If I'm gigging somewhere, I'll explain it to the manager beforehand and they usually just end up asking if they're any good.

    Wrote a blog about my experience with them here, actually, if anyone is interested.

    I went for the Kanger starter pack. Everyone on the Vaping/E-Cig forum recommends it. http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/kangtwist.htm

    Yep. It's quality for football matches and the likes (but I'd still generally use the smoking area when I can, for the banter). If you want to be on the safe side, just mention it to a member of staff. They can't stop you, and generally don't bother trying anyway.

    Well, in theory you can.

    It's up to the Management really.

    I always ask beforehand.

    Always some barfbrain can say, 'Why can't I smoke in here too?' schick.

    Better to use an E-cig that doesn't look like the 'real thing', I find.

    im off the smokes 16 months , thanks to e cigs

    but i wont say they are 100% safe - not long term studies
    and most of the info on the web is either funded by pro or anti e cig groups

    new york has banned them , Australia and NZ also , in finland you can not use them on public transport

    in saying that i love them , have no intention of giving up using it
    and as for smoking in pubs or clubs ,i have never had in Ireland got any problems off anyone

    but , as my cardiologist said to me , they cant be any worse than the real thing

    Yes spamming.

    If I started a thread,

    "Hey everybody you should check out [Product X]...

    Look at the savings you can make....

    Celebrity Z uses this product...

    You can get [Product X] here...www.where-can-you-buy-this-shít-im-pimping.com..."

    It would be rightly flagged as spam.
