My dad has given up smoking and he said "his not smoking , his ESmoking."


What Are ECigarettes?
Here it explains it here.

Do you think it's healthier than ordinary cigarettes?

They are quite cool though. It has the smoke effect and all.

Here's how it works

So discuss what you think about "E-cigarettes" ...

There are flavoured cartridges too!

Here's the link.

There's bubblegum , Coca cola and more!

My dad has got the Coffee flavoured cartridge , He says "It doesn't taste anything like Coffee."

So he has ordered different flavours. I wouldn't suggest for younger people under 18 to smoke them , Since it still is classed as smoking.

Over 18 year olds on here that are smoking might give it a shoot to give up smoking though.

Maybe try and get them to give up smoking , go on nicotine patches , gum or whatever nicotine products.

My dad was taking "Nicotine gum" while he was waiting for his E-Cig to come in the mail.

that is a joke in itself because that is near impossible.no motivation, i guess, and too much pressure ( indirect) from everyone else. good try though XD

Those electronic cigarettes are great. I know someone who went from about a pack a day to two or three real cigarettes a day.

@Holden
How many real cigarettes does he smoke a day? After about a week, he will start feeling nauseous after smoking a real cigarette. His body will start rejecting all the tar and other chemicals.

These Electronic Cigarettes are very great products for all smokers trying to quit. Someone may pull the thing out 20 times a day, but at least they are filling their lungs with water vapor.

They were first invented for people that want to give up smoking, but they can be used by smokers, too!

The thing in cigarettes that makes them addictive is called nicotine, and it's a slight brain stimulant that doesn't really damage anything in your body.

The thing in cigarettes that kills you is called hydrogen cyanide (HCN), also known as rat poison, and it comes from the plants inside the cigarette getting burnt.

I an electric cigar, there's nothing burning, so the intoxication is minimal.

Still, for giving up, nicotine pills are more recommended...and cheap, for that matter.

Most people smoke cause they got pulled into it at a young age. And well... it's addicting. It becomes their way of relieving stress, and if they try to stop it'll stress them out. If these electronic Cigarettes help people quit, then good for them. As long as they aren't harmful to your body as well.

It's basically a cigarette (or a small machine that looks like a cigarette) that releases water vapor and nicotine instead of smoke, tar, and various other chemicals. It's a healthier cigarette.

Oh, well it that's the guess, then I think it's a great product. I'd rather be filling my lungs with water vapor then all that other crap that's in real cigarettes. It can really help people out then.

How is this any better than smoking a real cigarette? There is still nicotine in it but then again it doesn't have smoke, tar or any of that other stuff. So I guess it is better.

Sorry for double post but I just saw this. You know that pure nicotine can easily kill you with one drop right?

40â"60 mg (0.5-1.0 mg/kg) can be a lethal dosage for adult humans.

That was taken from Wiki. There's a few reasons I think they're better:

1. They help you quit smoking
2. Eliminate second hand smoke
3. The poisons that are in regular cigarettes are no longer present.


Overall I think the pros outweigh the cons.

If you consume a little and wait for it to be metabolized/expelled from the body, it will be like you never took it. OD (over-dosage) can kill even if you OD on caffeine, sugar, WATER!

And 60 mg death is lame. Vitamin B-12 kills much faster, and it's a vitamin!

He used to smoke after meals but then He started smoking more often . From 3 cigarettes to around 6.

Yeah my dad pulls it out whenever he wants .

You can actually get cartridges without nicotine , You can get those flavoured ones mixed with Nicotine or without.

You know that pure nicotine can easily kill you with one drop right?


Well you can only order a certain amount of Nicotine.

Most people smoke cause they got pulled into it at a young age. And well... it's addicting. It becomes their way of relieving stress, and if they try to stop it'll stress them out.

Well , Lets hope theres nothing bad in these E-Cigarettes.

My dad got into smoking when he was a teenager . I am planning not to try smoking.
