Well I gotta say if you are going to take those non-smokes out and about and not-smoke them then you had better take something with you to show people that they are non-smokes. It's not going to change the looks you get, I betcha.
Good luck though!

Well, the one I ordered is glossy black with a blue LED tip. They wont be confusing this one with a real cigarette. At least I hope not. I hear about people with the cigarette looking ones that have a green LED tip, and people are asking how they got the cig to burn green like that, haha.

I don't think it will be a problem, because you're breathing it in, and I do smoke. Also the patch was a bit hard for me. I went off it too soon, because I couldn't put a full one on without getting the pre-stroke symptoms, but could cut a sliver off. But due to that, I was a bit worried. I took notes while doing it and notice exactly 60 hours of hell happened whenever I dropped the level of nicotine. So I bravely kept this up and got off the patch in about 3 weeks. It 2 months before I started smoking again, but these intense panic attacks, where I couldn't breathe and felt like I was hyperventilating happened from the time I was on less than stage 2, but intensely after I threw the patch away for over a month until I cried uncle and gave up. It was so freaky. I went online about it, because my mother had quit and she was horrified at what was happening with me. I found out its quite common, and the panic attacks could happen up to 6 months. That those who did have those symptoms rarely quit smoking. I was planning on working up the courage to use the patch again and hoping to cut it down very slowly on keep it on for 6 months, though doctors hate things like that, but only when it was down to less than half, or a cut down stage 2. I think I will talk to the doctor about it first. Because even if its safer than smoking, you don't want too much nicotine at a time or it can be game over.

Lol. You should get one that looks like a firecracker.
I have never smoked, personally, and never will but I have been addicted to cig smoke since I was ten. I grew up in a house with people smoking all the time and worked for dad and the shop was just worse. Things have changed now though.
I used to get ancy when I was a school and a lunch Id go hang out with the kids who smoked - it was just as bad but I couldn't do anything about it.
Are you gonna try and quit? Not judging, I know how hard it is to do.

Yes, please talk to a doctor first! You are right, though, you are smoking it instead of absorbing it like patches and other things. I think its easier to control your intake that way. If you do decide to give this a shot make sure you go to a good, reliable supplier like puresmoker.com My order was shipped 2-3 day shipping the SAME DAY I ordered. I also hear this guy, Steve, who runs the place is awesome to work with. He has responded to my emails in an extremely timely fashion. I only keep mentioning this place because like the guy earlier in the thread said his e-cig didnt work that well for him, and I would hate to have someone order something from a site that is going to send them junk at a high cost.

I find it hard to beleive if there is ANY smoke involved, any at all, that it will be allowed in restaurants and other non-smoking areas.
Is it really so minimal that there are no objections? No odor? No visible smoke?
Oh, there is definitely a visible "vapor" however I understand that it dissipates pretty quickly. People have reported very light smells, but that is usually the smell of whatever flavor (ie vanilla, cherry) you are smoking.
Also, there are many many successful reports of people being able to smoke these in non smoking environments. There have been a few reports of restaurant owners not allowing it, but by and large the reports are pretty darn positive. Some of the successful places include hospitals, London's tube stations, airplanes!, and many others. Like I said, though, it depends on who runs the place to give the okay.

That other "thing" is probably PG, or propylene glycol. I think that is how its spelled. PG is commonly used in MANY things including food and makeup. It apparently helps things travel in the vapor that is created.

It may be "your" body, but second-hand smoke has been known to cause similar (lesser) side-effects. So you are harming others as well as yourself when you smoke. I think it is perfectly fine that they are banning smoking from public places.

After a little research I found this.
litecigusa.com...
It has nothing but good reviews, and is much cheaper than the product in the OP. I might just order one.
I'd never get used to smoking indoors. I can imagine myself still going outside to smoke, even if I knew I didn't have to. Creatures of habit I guess.
