Electronic Cigarettes: New Route to Smoking Addiction for Adolescents

[Tyhanna]

138. So...

So NRTs are ok? The nicotine inhaler, gum, lozenges, patches. Same nicotine as in e-cigarettes.

To bad your Mother didn't have something like an e-cigarette to get her away from smoking.

Everyone I talk to that use a e-cigarette ( that is a lot in the vaping community) no longer smoke because of the e-cigarette. Ive read hundreds and hundreds of stories from people that their out come is the same as mine, There are those that have been using e-cigs for 4-5 years and haven't smoked in that time at all.

Yes nicotine is addictive, so is caffeine and it has lots more side effects than nicotine does when its by its self. But by its self away from burning tobacco its not that addictive about the same as caffeine. Its all the chemicals in tobacco that makes the nicotine much more addictive when burned, like the MAOI that is in tobacco.

For every time someone doesn't light up a cigarette and uses a e-cigarette they are not taking in 4000+ toxins.

E-cigarettes don't do everything you still have to work threw the cravings for "the cigarette", the mental addiction is the worse part of the addiction. The physical addiction to nicotine is the minor part. E-cigarettes help the person retrain the brain away from cigarettes and it will remove that mental addiction totally in time.

Im 11 months smoke free December 2nd. I have no cravings or triggered cravings what so ever. That in its self is amazing. And im just one of thousands that have had the same experience.

You should be happy there is something out there that helps people that nothing else worked.

BTW an apple and tinfoil can be used to smoke drugs if the person really wants it. So do we ban apples and tinfoil?
