(114,348 posts)A lot of people have told me they started to taste things again 10 days to two weeks out and the smoke flavor is just plain nasty and they have to switch it out.
I've seen a lot of people taper themselves down on the nicotine without even thinking about it. They only take enough hits off an e cig to shut off the cravings instead of compulsively smoking an expensive butt down to the filter to get their money's worth.
The advantages are so many and the liabilities so much fewer than burning tobacco and inhaling the concentrated hot smoke that I'd hate to see them heavily regulated except for purity of content, uniformity of dosage, and safety.
I'm not all that alarmed at seeing teenagers using them. Kids are going to do stupid, risky stuff no matter what and this at least reduces the harm. The "real thing" will be unappealing to them after the e-cig flavored with something nice, like chocolate or strawberry.
