The electronic cigarette
151. Normal cigarettes have a finite life and finite nicotine delivery. If a similar mechanism was available in e-cigs it would prevent nicotine overdose which is an occasional problem for me. Dripping helps. Fantastic products though - should have been out there years ago.
152. DO NOT ALLOW THE FDA TO BAN THIS WONDERFUL PRODUCT. IT SAVED MY LIFE AND WILL SAVE MILLIONS MORE!
153. Denying access to ecigs by legislation or ban would be tantamount to utter lunacy when compared to the proven damage resulting from tobacco use. Being alive on this planet in the modern world is not a safe activity and if we are indeed allegedly 'free' this is the type of choice consenting adults expect to be able to make for themselves. And well done for setting up this survey, James!
154. I had been smoking for 31 years and was on 35-40 roll-ups a day. I had a bad cough, wheezed and was out of breath climbing the two flights of stairs to my flat. Given my lack of success quitting with patches, inhalator, gum, lozenges and hypnosis I thought I'd just use the e-cig to cut down the amount I was smoking and would have been happy if I'd managed to get down to 10-15 roll-ups a day. I was amazed to find that within a week, I actually preferred the e-cig and haven't had a roll-up since even though I still had half a pouch of tobacco left. I've since gone from using the high strength liquid to having one e-cig with low nicotine liquid and one with zero nicotine. You may say that I've just swapped one addiction for another but I have two friends who have not smoked a cigarette for 5 and 3 years respectively but who are still having to use the highest strength nicotine gum and both still want to have a cigarette.
155. I smoked 4 packs a day of menthol 100's cigarette's for 33 years. Nothing has ever helped me to come close to quitting until now. I have been analog cigarette free for 6 weeks and it only took me 2 days. I am so very happy. I haven't had to use my inhaler either for alittle over 5 weeks to be able to breathe right. Thank God for e-cig's!!
156. ecig was probably the best thing ever for me
157. Mother reduced cigarette intake by 50%. brother by 90%.
158. This is the most effective stop smoking aid i have ever come across. It has enabled me to completely stop smoking normal cigarettes. For alot of smokers the act of smoking is both enjoyable and relaxing. These e-cigs provide a much healthier alternative to real cigarettes and less of the health risks to themselves and the people around them. We e-cig users should be congratulated for choosing to switch to this alternative!
159. The electronic cigarette is a fantastic product. I was a 1/2 to a pack a day smoker for over 10 years and now go days without a cigarette or maybe have 1-3 a day. A pack lasts me a week now. I tried the patch, the gum and chantix in the past. The patch and gum did not work as I still needed some interaction with a device. Chantix worked but as soon as I came off the drug I wanted cigarettes again. With the e-cig, I can still remain social with other smokers, get my nicotine "fix" without the carcinogens and nearly anywhere. I feel better and am in better health since purchasing the e-cig roughly 6 weeks ago.
160. electronic cigarettes are the greatest thing to ever hit the market for smokers, I wasn't even trying to quit regular cigarrettes. I intended to use the electronic cigarette to smoke more places and more often. within a week I could no longer stand cigarettes.
161. I work as a retailer for a company that sells ecigs and was a customer first. I have heard so many times that the smokers cough gets worse for a week or two before it gets better. This makes sense since the scilia are basically "coming back to life" in the lungs.
162. I like to smoke. It took me a while to get used to the electronic cigarette. Now I really like it. I don't feel it is cheaper. Things break down. You have to have extra equipment. All in all, I still smoke only a healthier way. A lot of people have not heard about e-cigs. I am educating many...............
163. th e- cig is not very cost effective if u have to replace the atomizer and battery every month
164. Have always believed am addicted to the actual act of smoking wich I enjoy, more then the nicotene, believe the elctronic cigerette has proved this for me as I sometimes now vape flavor alone and plan to cut the nic out completley slowly. A nevrvous habit can be as hard to break as a drug addiction and I believe ecigs are the only true solution for those who love the act of smoking or for whom it has become an addicative action that calms them. - thank you
165. I previously quit smoking twice, both times for well over a year. I could never stop thinking about smoking. I was always saying ot myself " I could really go for a cigarette, now. Damn, I quit." I really enjoy smoking. I've been smoking a pack a day for 35 years. I was very irritable and had trouble controlling my anger.
Also, both times I gained conciderable weight even though my eating habits didn't change. I eat once a day - dinner. and sometimes a snack between dinner and bed-time. I never felt hungry when I was smoking but when I quit I was constantly hungry. I still gained on average 50 lbs both times I quit.
I quit this time (3rd attempt) on April 1st due to US federal and state tax increases on cigarettes. I just couldn't afford it any more. I also started working out in order to keep from gaining weight. By May 1st, I still gained 10 pounds and was just as irritable as the previous times that I quit. That's when I found out about and purchased my e-cigarettes. I've lost the 10 pounds and and am no longer irritable. I'm also still working out.
E-cigarettes are the greatest invention of the 21st century, so far. It's sad to see that the W.H.O. is against them and the U.S. FDA are considering banning them. It isn't because they are unsafe. Data shows that tobacco use is much worse. It's because smoking is politically incorrect. Anything related to smoking will be balked at by politicians and lawmakers - worldwide. Also, the fact that some manufacturers and sellers are advertising them as a smoking cessation product (which they aren't) is causing medical groups to scrutinize them. E-cigarettes need to be advertised as what they truly are - a tobacco alternative.
166. I smoked tobacco cigarettes for 35 years and couldn't quit until I started smoking the electric cigarette. I can't believe this product is being banned by any country. I've never felt better and have no desire to smoke another "real" cigarette.
167. I clicked "Not applicable" to question 4 because I have a physical condition that precludes me from doing much excercise at all.
168. I HAVE ONLY JUST STARTED TO USE THEM & AM TRYING A FEW BRANDS & CARTS SO IT WOULD NOT HAVE MADE MUCH OF A CHANGE ( HEALTH WISE ) YET
