Old tobacco playbook gets new use by e-cigarettes

[Warpy]

56. I know a lot of people who have tapered off the nicotine

with e-cigs. It's pretty funny, after the first 2 weeks or so when their sense of taste comes back, they've switched to the sweeter nicotine flavors that don't taste anything like smoke. Eventually, they've just gone with the flavored stuff without nicotine.

The point is that they've been able to get first off cigarettes and then off nicotine and that is winning in my book.

However, am I the only one who thinks the "rise from the ashes," "take our freedom back" guy is more than a little whiny sounding?
