(10,789 posts)and had them wish to you that they hadn't smoked, that they could have had years still? It happens to people all the time. Every time I see a kid smoking, which is common in my area, I see a younger version of the last guy I know who died of heart disease. His greatest sorrows were first that he got sick a year before he retired, so the retirement he meant to spend with he family he spent dying instead. And second was that he had passed on his smoking habit to his son, and expected him to die the same miserable way.
I know the OP is about e-cigarettes, which aren't as bad as smoking, but nicotine is a highly addictive chemical that causes heart disease. Amazingly, even years after the manufacturers were forced to give up their propaganda campaigns and sham science, some people seem to still not know that.
