Johnnydevil's blog: "Real Fu-Kin Life."

Maybe you've already seen these, but I just ran across them and I will buy because I've tried everything... It seems like 20 years ago we were pressured to smoke to be cool by our peers, but NOW, it's so NOT cool to smoke and you should just QUIT! Yeh right, I've been smoking since I was 12!

Please consider writing a blog on the electronic cigarette; a lot of people read yours. Short version is that it's new, much less harmful than regular smokes and for people who have smoked for years and have tried everything to quit, it would be much better for THEM. The flipside is that younger people will be encouraged to partake due to the available flavors, (although they must be 18 to buy). I put some links I've run across so far below.

The FDA is claiming that it's better to continue to smoke, (at 100's of thousands of deaths per year), are already trying to ban them for US marketing AND are being sued by one of the companies who market them. The government wants their "piece", and they'll get it, considering all the free energy patents they snatch up and force "non-compete" contracts on. Great minds have developed ways around a lot of the things we are forced to shell out for that have been squashed by our gov't because it's SO greedy! I honestly believe our gov't would prefer that most of us just die off.

From the reviews I'm seeing on it from actual users, it's not necessarily helping everyone to completely "quit", (they have to WANT to quit...everybody knows that), but it has created a way for many users to significantly cut back on "real" smoking by about 2/3rds.

The distributor that's currently suing the FDA is named "Smoking Everywhere", I believe.

So far it appears to be working better for men...LOL
