Electronic cigarettes are becoming a popular alternative to the traditional cigarette. I don't smoke but I have a family member that does. They like their new e-cig too and it is cheaper for them than buying real cigarettes. They get their nicotine fix and the flavour of smoking but without the cancer-causing crap that goes along with it. And it doesn't stink! I hope they live longer because of this because I love them so much.

    I remember when we started selling those. People loved them. Occasionally they'd be returned because they were defective but I bet half of those people didn't read the directions.

    Trust me it won't be long before they are linked to cancer too, if they haven't been yet.

    The e-cigarette has been shown to cause pneumonia. It is basically water vapor going straight into your lungs.

    I think that the absolute best alternative here is to just quit smoking. Period. I quit and honestly, I feel better now than I did all 5 of the years that I DID smoke.

    Yes, I understand that it soothes you when you are stressed, I did it for the same reason but despite my stress, I still feels loads better and I feel overall more emotionally healthy than I did when I depended on cigarettes to help me through my day.

    I would say that comparatively, the e-cigarette is better but don't substitute cigarettes for the e-cigarette if you're trying to quit. If not, good luck, just make sure you do regular doctor visits and see one at the first sign of trouble.

    I love mine. It helped me stop smoking after 12 yrs. and I'm only 22.

    They may be slightly less offensive to nonsmokers than the real thing. But I'm willing to bet they will be found to be as bad or worse for your health.

    I liked seeing the smoke coming out of my mouth. I want to quit but I don't like all the efforts and the withdrawal symptoms are so bad. I want a cigarette right now
