I fully realise that the long term effects of e cigs have not been tested but I feel better, my skin looks better and I'm easier to live with, my clothes don't smell, I have better senses of taste and smell. I could go on and on. Should I carry on smoking regular cigarettes (which we know are very bad for health) or should I carry on with the e cigarettes reducing my nicotine intake steadily to zero ? I don't want to go back to regular cigarettes and I feel that e cigs are less harmful to me. I feel e cigarettes are the right way (and maybe the only way) for me to go. I cannot recommend it for anyone else, you need to research it and make your own decision (providing you are over 18, if you are not then the decision has been made for you). Governments seem to be quite happy to allow the sale of tobacco which is known to be harmful when smoked as cigarettes and some are happy to ban or restrict the sale of e cigs etc which we know are an unknown quantity, could this be something to do with tax revenue do you think ? In my opinion the majority of present and future e cig users will be persons who re trying to quit regular cigarettes, I don't think that people who have never smoked will even consider using e cigarettes, what's in it for them ?

We know a lot about tobacco cigarettes: they are not good for your health and contain thousands of toxins. Kids are attracted to tobacco cigarettes for various reasons.

Electronic cigarettes are certainly a better alternative with many great benefits ranging from cost savings, to odor less, to no butts littering our country!
