Culture Buzz “An e-cigarette or e-cig is being touted by one of its manufacturers, Smoking Everywhere, as the first pure “safe” cigarette.” I am touting it as “Inane and Idiotic.”

I purchased an electronic cigarette from Green Smoke and I have been tobacco free for 5 months and counting now! Its funny because I never wanted to quit until my friend gave me a coupon code for Green Smoke which saved me 10% off all starter kits using coupon code DISC10-1947. Now I can't stand the smell of tobacco cigarettes and can't believe I was a smoker for over 10 years.
I agree, the e cigarette is awesome. There is already news reports on it and everything. It will be big soon…

I bought my ecig from www.esmokeclub.com and will never regret it. I've been smoke-free for months now and love the taste. I had a battery go bad after about 4 weeks and they replaced it at no charge too. Pick the right company for good support as you'll find most of them carry the same products.
Personally I liked www.esmokeclub.com because they carry Totally Wicked eliquid which is one of the best nicotine liquids around. This may not be better than not smoking at all, but it sure beats smoking. How can you argue any differently …..
Inane and idiotic — why exactly? It is beyond me why you would think this device would actually be idiotic when it is obviously safer and provides a healthier (yes, let me repeat: healthier) alternative to smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes. E cigarettes are very sensible, healthier, and better than regular cigs. It's as simple as that. Before labeling a product names of which you obviously know nothing about, I suggest you consider the pros and cons of what a device like this offers.
I have been smoking ecigarettes for about a month now, and have not touched a real cigarettes since then, this is the 4 th time i am trying to quit after smoking for 14 years, it is the only thing that seems to work, i do recommend www.buyecigarettes.net as they have free shipping
The nice thing about electronic cigarettes is that I actually don't feel disturbed if someone next to me is smoking one. Now they came under the scrutiny of the FDA, some more coverage is here: http://new-smoke.com/electronic-cigarette-media
“Dumb Head”… you're an idiot. You don't have any valid reason to call smoking e-cigarettes “inane and stupid”. My boyfriend recently broke a 25 year habit of smoking REAL cigarettes, which do (as Jim said) emit over 4,000 known chemicals, 69 of which are known without a doubt to cause cancer. Most e-cigarette cartridges contain 10 chemicals or less and NO known carcinogens. Do the math, moron. It's helped several people I know break long term habits where patches and gums just didn't cut it. People are desperate to quit and sometimes the patches and the gums and the audio tapes and CDs and the hypno programs just don't work. Some people can't get past the act of having a cigarette in their hand and in their mouth all the time. Using an e-cigarette enables the smoker to put it down whenever he/she wants to whether there is an ashtray or not without risking burning themselves, their furniture, kids, pets, and etcetera. Not being able to put it down whenever they want causes a mental commitment to smoke the whole thing instead of throwing it away (everyone hates wasting things they pay good money for) and being able to put it down whenever they want enables them to continue carrying on conversation or work/play/whatever and eventually forget to use it (as my boyfriend has several times since he purchased his). Stop slamming something you don't know anything about.
I am really offended that you openly attack something you know nothing about. You parrot what the lying main stream media says when it is obvious that taxes are what they are worried about. The US states alone generate 31 BILLION each year on the sale of cigarettes and they do not want people to quit no matter what they say. I have not smoked a real cigg since I got mine, and a real cigg has the same amount of nicotine, plus 4000 other chemicals, including over 60 known cancer causing chemicals. I can now breath again, and will fight morons like you head to head to keep my rights to be smoke free! I bought mine at E-Cigarettes for anyone who wants to make the right decision for theirselves.
Geez Dumb Head, your headline is provocatively misleading - sounds like you're ready for a job in mainstream media!!! After checking out the site and a couple third-party reviews, this appears to be a pretty darn innovative product, a great way to kick the habit, or at least enjoy it without (most of) the undesirable side effects. I get the feeling you saw an opportunity to pass a snap judgment on something without checking it out. This is one hell of an idea, and from the looks of it, this company moved it from novel concept to functional product very successfully. While this certainly can't be called a “safe cigarette” (which probably won't ever exist since nicotine isn't safe), this looks like the first authentically “healthier” cigarette.
Listen, dumbhead. How in the hell can this be insane and stupid? First of all, the harmful ingredients that are produced when all sorts of stuff in a cig is burnt are what causes cancer. Hello? WTF?! Nicotine in and of itself is not necessarily bad at all for your system, and it is actually used medically for different purposes (look it up, bozo). Further, you can get cartridges that have ultra-light nicotine content. I speak from experience. I use my e-cig all the time. And I love it. It is not EXACTLY the same as smoke, but I am growing to like it more. AND: I am not ruining my lungs in the process. It's dumbasses like you that 1. sound like you have a contract for PR with JR Reynolds, and 2. Ruin an amazing idea for the late adopters. Pull your head out, do some actual research, and then write an article, idiot.

I've been around people smoking these, and trust me—it is FAR, FAR, FAR better than being around people smoking real cigarettes. There's barely any smell, and what smell is emitted from these e-cigarettes is certainly not anywhere near as nasty as the smell of a real cigarette. What's more, the vapors don't cut your breath or stick to your clothes.
The people I know who use these are all former smokers of real cigarettes, some as heavy as 2 packs a day. Personally, I'm grateful for these e-cigarettes and happy that my friends were willing to switch. Knee-jerk government banning of these devices is typical, unfortunately—common sense could tell anyone that e-cigarettes should be available to all smokers.
I'm a non-smoker with smoker friends and I'm all for this. This really is a good thing and I don't get why places like Australia have banned it. Quitting is unrealistic for some people. This seems like a win-win. Not stupid, brilliant.
I've tried one and they are actually really cool — you
“smoke” flavored vapor and it's mostly just to help get over the habits that go with smoking, not the nicotine addiction, necessarily.
I've seen people with these and honestly, I'd much rather stand next to the guy puffing on one of these at the bus stop than the multitude of smokers who often converge near the downtown Seattle bus stops. It didn't smell like anything, and I'm a former smoker. I wouldn't call them safe because when you get right down to it, nicotine isn't good for your body. However, if one does choose to take nicotine, inhaling this vapor is much better for you than sucking on a burning, chemical laden, tobacco filled tube. As far as how effective they are, the bus stop guy said that he's now primarily smoking his e-cigarette but still smokes an actual cig now and then. Others I've talked to have had similar experiences.
