What does inhaling an e cigarette taste like?

The place to hang out and talk about totally anything general.

If you wanted to give up smoking would you use pure willpower or take a little help?

To be fair, it's their first post. Not sure why anyone's mother needs to be harmed though...

Probably, though it's not the usual copy-pasta, those get deleted right away. I have a bookmark watchlist for suspiciously generic first posts, this one is on it. Most of them forget to add the actual spam (or were real one post wonder users).

I don't know. Does an empty pickup truck with rear-wheel drive and bald tires on an icy road get any traction?

Actually yes they are harmful, the nicotine in the e-cig is still a poison, also they have the capabilities to be even more harmful then normal cigarettes since they do not contain tobacco they cannot be regulated by the FDA.


EDIT:

Because they contain no tobacco, e-cigarettes aren't subject to U.S. tobacco laws, which means they can be purchased without proof of age, especially online. This raises concerns that e-cigs may be particularly appealing to kids and may encourage nicotine addiction among young people. And while manufacturers of the e-cigarette claim that it's the cigarette you can "smoke" anywhere, regulatory agencies around the world are taking a close look at these gadgets and instituting a range of restrictions on their use.

That is a loophole that is likely to be closed in the next couple of years. In fact, that seems to be the ultimate conclusion of the bit that you quoted.

While e-cigarettes don't produce secondhand smoke, they do produce secondhand vapor. And even though manufacturers say that it's merely water vapor and therefore harmless, regulatory agencies and health experts contend that e-cigarette makers haven't conducted the research needed to prove this. Some individuals, particularly those with health conditions that make them sensitive, have reported that the vapor is irritating to their eyes, noses and throats, and that it affects their breathing and makes them nauseous. Opponents of e-cigarettes say people shouldn't be subjected to secondhand vapor until manufacturers have proven it to be safe for everyone, including children, the elderly and people with certain medical conditions.

Seems to say the same thing... "Electronic cigarettes are new, and regulatory agencies haven't yet figured out how to deal with them, but they are trying, and will get there eventually." As with all new things, it takes a while for the law to catch up. Give it some time, and it is likely that the regulatory framework will eventually come into place.

Well in my defense I was just quoting something that I found from a quick search :oops: But my main reason is due to the nicotine in them they are still just as addictive (unless you get the ones without it).

Have I contradicted that statement at any time?
