    Well I never used it but found some over internet.


    Unlike tobacco products, there are no current laws in effect prohibiting the use of * (link deleted by moderator) * in public places. Case in point, I work in a hospital and a fellow nurse smokes them right there in the nursing station.


    Here's what current research says about the positive aspects of this product::


    - In a study of 40 tobacco-dependent smokers, researchers concluded that smoking e-cigarettes alleviated the desire to smoke (after abstaining from smoking overnight), was well-tolerated, and pharmacologically more like a Nicorette inhaler than tobacco.
    - Another study of 50 smokers who wanted to reduce the health risks associated with smoking, but not quit completely, concluded that the < promoting your device without paying an ad fee is prohibited here.

In addition, when participants smoked < promoting your device without paying an ad fee is prohibited here.

However, the study concluded that because the < promoting your device without paying an ad fee is prohibited here.

    Personally I have tried them and they were no help whatsoever, I live in the UK and we get a lot of free help and assistance to stop smoking, I believe the only way to stop is sheer willpower and you MUST really want to stop, I still smoke BTW.

    Romos, I finally quit (sort of, still use patches) after 43 years, not easy and after 5 months still crave the stuff,if they finally tell me the end is nigh, the first thing I'll do is enjoy a cigarette, though in no way do I ever encourage anyone to do the same as me

    I didn't like the taste nor the amount of nicotine administered.......

    I bought one for my son and he said it was "ok". I suppose one advantage is you can suck on it in places where smoking is prohibited. For the cost vs equivalence, the ecig cost less than $8. A pack of 20 is around $5 as a bargain. The ecig gives the equivalent of about 3 packs. 


    Quitting takes won't power. It is a choice. I would smoke those if I wanted to smoke. Less expensive and fewer  carcinogens. I

    There is an article in the current New Scientist on this subject. It appears that a significant number had quit, especially compared with those on nicotine skin patches.


    The most interesting fact is that British American Tobacco has bought the company Nicadex which makes the e-cigarette, so what that means is that at last a tobacco company has admitted that their product is harmful to health. The e-ciggy may be available on prescription eventually.

    I doubt that they are willing to admit anything. They'll just twist it to make themselves look good. "We want to offer our customers other options for their smoking pleasure"...or some such stupidity....marketing is great. :(
