E-Cigarettes Should Be Banned...

[Roo]

Out of that has come the CASAA (Consumer Advocates for Smokefree Alternatives Association) which is a consumer based group advocating tobacco harm reduction. They advocate not just e-cigs but snus and dissolvables. Everyone here would do well to join them to at least add you name to the numbers. It's the least you can do.

Done, thanks for the link stubby2.

I think people like to smoke. And while oral tobacco is healthier, it's not the same as smoking. And while an e-cigg is not exactly the same experience as smoking, it's more like smoking than oral tobacco is. E-ciggs also have no need to spit, or have a portion or prilla to deal with, nor cans. I can see e-ciggs being more popular than oral tobacco in cigg replacement.

I agree. I know 3 smokers that will not try snus but use e-cigs whenever they can. Of course the e-cigs don't satisfy them because it's not strong enough so they go back to smoking.

Agreed, even in the south, oral tobacco of any form does have a stigma associated with it.

I finally bit the bullet on the e-cig, waiting for it to ship. I did it because although snus and snuff meet my nicotine need well and happily, there is a social and habit action to smoking that even if I social smoke a little it starts to lean towards habitual. So I figure I will give the E-cig a go in that manner because it has to be better than actual cigs. We breath water vapor with more chemicals that are bad for us every day in most major cities.

I bought an e-cig a while back, and it was OK, but I long quit regular smoking, but it was nice to puff in our non-smoking home. I am out of cartridges though now, my inexpensive set only had 2, but I wanna stop tomorrow at the the T-store and get some new ones, menthols, if they have it. I almost broke my e-cig when I took it to my fathers, to show, and I put it in my front pocket with a can of snus, and when I got in the car, I heard a crack, but, it cracked the disposable cartridge, and not the battery.

I'm trying to get my wife to look into this. Snus didn't work for her.

You should get one of those special cases .. to carry it around...
I'll never buy an e-cig... though... I never though swithching from smoking cigarettes to an e-cig makes much difference...
