Okay, I keep seeing these booths in the mall advertising them. They are the douchiest things since the Ed Hardy clothing line was created. What ARE they? What IS an e-cigarette?
What is the lamest new creation you've encountered lately?

They're not bad and have a lot of benefits. They're little vaporizers with flavor cartridges that you attach, so when you inhale you get a vaporized flavor with or without nicotine. The upside of it all is that you get the look and feel (though not exactly flavor) of a cigarette, with full nicotine delivery, but with a lot less risk than actually filling your lungs with most of the crap that comes out of regular cigs. I kinda liked it when I tried my friend's set out.
Wait, so is it like hookah, except not hookah tobacco and in the shape of a cigarette? What?
wait you can get cigs without the balls taste but all the nicotine you body cant live without? where can this be found only in new york cause indiana is bumpkin....dammit i knew it :mad:
It was in Rhode Island too, and Rhode Island is pretty much a tiny dead end little bumpkin state. Keep looking, I guess? They look pretty dumb though! If you need nicotine, get the patch, dude! If you don't, when you get older you're be all wrinkly and cough up all of the time like my parents!
I just saw this at the mall today too! The guy running the stand was just standing there with one of them in his mouth and I must admit, he did look quite douchey.
I dunno, I mean what's the point of smoking really if it looks like you're playing with candy cigarettes?
That's what I think. It's like... you smoke because you enjoy SMOKING, or you smoke because you're addicted. In that case, if you just want the nicotine without the unhealthy tar and tobacco, just suck on a lemon drop and get the patch! It makes no sense! But then again, it makes no sense to me why people wear Ed Hardy! Paradox~ D:
It's about the hand to mouth action also.
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again! I hardly knew I should use me feet again!
What do you have to say for yourself?
They're to satisfy the urge to hold a cigarette and also the addiction to nicotine if the user is addicted. It also enables the user to feel as if they're socially part of a smokers' circle.
I think they're a good thing. Smokers are going to put nicotine into their system regardless of how it gets there, so anything that cuts down on the toxins they and others around them receive is good. Seeing a few of my friends who are smokers, I realise that smoking isn't just about getting a fix; it also provides a reason to socialise or a talking point between themselves and other smokers, so by retaining the appearance of a cigarette it's not cutting them out of the social smokers group.
Some have been said before, but I'll go ahead and list off some benefits to theses.
1) It doesn't cause anywhere near as much damage to your health, while still feeding ones addition to Nicotine.
2) In the long run, it actually ends up costing you less the Cigarretes.
3) It creates more completion for the Tabbaco industry, and more competion is good for the economy.
4) I'm surprised no ones mentioned this, because it's probably the biggest reason I like them. They don't have the smell. I wouldn't smoke them myself, but I have a lot of friends that smoke, and overall these can help make them more pleasant to be around. And it kills off the reason I refuse to date a girl who smokes, the smell.
I'm actually considering buying one, actually... >_>
..and about blowing out the smoke too.Originally Posted by Tama2
My friends giving up a smoking habit of 20 years. For him it was the social side of smoking that was the difficult part to give up. He swears by these elctronic ciggerettes as he can now be with his friends in a social situation and not feel out of place.
Im a month into giving up smoking, ive been doing it for 8 years myself.
All of my friends are smokers and i feel really out of place when they all go outside for a ciggie. I may get one of these.
I can't fathom this. I've never seen/heard of it but then again I have been on a farm for a month.
Personally I can't imagine it would be the same as a regular cigarette. I'm kind of interested but skeptical.
It looks exactly the same as a normal ciggerette, and you inhale smoke (well steam vapour) like a real ciggerette, only difference is it dont contain nicotine.
I think its a comfort to people who are stuck in the habit and to make giving up not so much of a huge life and habit change.
Tbh anything that helps is great, its difficult giving up.
Hers a vid of it in action..
