Yea i started smoking when I was 14 years old. After 12 years of trying to quit i just about gave up.

Then a buddy of mine introduced me to an e-cig. I tried it but did not like it too much. It did not give me enough nicotine to get off cigarettes completely.

Then I ran into to http://www.libertyvapor.com and I checked out thier product figuring since it was a 30 day money back garantee i could afford it. Since I spent so much on cigarettes and was having a hard time breathing i figured I would give it a try. Let me tell you that it really helped me quit. Since then I have even stopped using the electronic cigarette.

I highly recommend anybody trying to quit to give it a try. It might be the best choice you ever made.

I live in the bay area and they sell Xhale o2 electronic cigarettes for $20 at almost every 711. They are behind the counter by the real cigarettes. The 20 dollar starter kit comes with the electronic cigarette, 5 cartridges, and a charger. It has been working great so far. I am using the regular one that contains 16mg of nicotine. They have non nicotine ones that are flavored called E-hookahs. I am so hopeful this will help me stop smoking, it is the action of smoking I am addicted to just as much as the nicotine itself, so this is a great way to ween yourself off the nicotine, and hopefully wont need the E-cig at all after awhile. The refills are $14 and come with 10... great deal, best ive seen offered.

e-cigarettes are safe. What is up with this following quote from the article "The best way to quit is through discussions with your physician in a program that's recognized as smoking cessation, to use nicotine replacement" What??? Take a bunch of pills that are known to have crazy side affects and to make people suicidal? Is that what he thinks we should do? You can learn more about electronic cigarettes at http://www.e-cigsshop.com They have a few good articles.

I began using e-cigs in August, and have not smoked a single cigarette since. Nor have I wanted to. During the 40-plus years I smoked, I had quit smoking, sometimes for years, only to return to it eventually. Before trying e-cigs, I had become a binge smoker, which was pretty depressing, not to mention damaging. (BTW, I have no other addictions, eat almost entirely organic foods, meditate, etc. But tobacco addiction is a tough one.) E-cigs are simply the greatest. I buy my juices from US and UK companies, which manufacture the liquids themselves and publish independent lab analysis showing just what they contain, and what they DON'T contain.

As for banning e-cigs to protect children: I have never seen them marketed to children; it's people like me who buy the strawberry, banana, mango, parma violet flavors. (Why taste tobacco when you can taste lovely flavors instead?) If you're going to ban everything that may endanger children, let's start with cell phones and all the other gadgets that allow kids to drive and text, thereby endangering themselves as well as everyone in their paths.

E-cigs are wonderful. A great use of technology. The evolution of smoking. The government needs to leave them the hell alone. I'm an adult. I don't need a babysitter. Surely our government has more important things to worry about. And as for FDA approval? Look into the damage done by FDA-approved prescription drugs. Check the FDA track record, starting with the Dalcon Shield IUD. I'm one of the thousands of women who almost died from using that FDA approved device in the 1970s.

Message to government: keep your grubby little mitts off my e-cigs!

The doctor interviewed in the story knows next to nothing about e-cigarettes yet manages to condemn their use anyway. I really would like the anti e-cig people to spend as much time as I have researching them before they pass judgement. I replaced tobacco with e-cigs and my health is much better that it was 3 months ago. By the way, I am an adult and made an informed decision about using the e-cig. These are not for children and I've not seen them marketed for children. The yummy flavor are for people like me. Are we going to make everything inappropriate for children unavailable for adults as well? btw the e- cig is not a nicotine cessation product and is not sold as such. It is an alternative for adults who smoke cigarettes to use. Also nicotine replacement therapy does not work and the products sold for that purpose are very rarely of any help at all in stopping tobacco.

If you are interested in the starter kit, you can get it for less than $30.00 at: www.logiccash.com, or you can pay over $65.00 from www.ecigarettes4less.com. where they will make a profit of over $40.00, they are both made from the exact same place (China). shipping is cheaper too.

I would like to know the effects of the vapor and how it's made. however, The Doctor keeps saying that these are not approved by the FDA, I would like to know why the FDA approves real cigarettes with the 3,000 chemicals in tobacco. Is this to say that the FDA should be trusted if they are approving real cigarettes? Something to think about. btw, there is a site: www.ecigarettes4less.com, they make a $40.00 profit from each kit. shop around and buy them directly from China, which is where they come from. and buy the kit for $29.99, not the $69.99 with shipping from that site.

I find it supremely disturbing that flavoring adult products with candy, fruity, sweet or mint flavors has turned into prima facie evidence of "marketing to children". If this is the case, why are such flavors still allowed in cigars, alcoholic beverages (both malt beverages and liquors), condoms, personal lubricants, etc? The likelihood of children using an e-cigarette as a "gateway" to smoking seems unlikely to me...most starter kits would be prohibitively expensive for children, must be purchased with a credit card online, and it is far, far easier to just swipe cigs from one's parents (isn't that how most kids start?) or to get an older sibling or friend to purchase cigarettes for them, than to go to the expense and hassle of obtaining and maintaining an electronic cigarette (batteries, atomizers, and cartridges/liquids). I really think that out of all the arguments being made against e-cigs, this argument bothers me the most.
