2. I quit smoking a few months ago.
After about three or five days I started freaking out so I bought a little marijuana. Marijuana turned an excruciating experience into an uncomfortable experience.

with some serious interest in keeping the FDA+Tobacco+BigPharm interests from killing this down the road.

It really is very sweet and exciting isn't it? I have the pen model (less cartridge refilling)and also a USB charged pen powered by my computer, lol.

For people who would like to know more-- just a couple starting places (discussion sites):

4. So now you just free-basing nicotine now?
Edited on Sun Jul-19-09 12:47 PM by nebenaube
That sounds way more addictive. I remember back in the eighties that the tobacco companies wanted to market them but some authorities stated that it would be too easy to turn it into a crack pipe.

11. Congrats!
I went with the gum, too, and for the most part was finished in about 3-4 weeks. (I started when I took a week's vacation, went out of town and disrupted the full routine.) Some occasional chews afterwords in stressful times. It's been two years now.

13. Nicotine strength comes in regular, light, ultra light. and zero.
I can't imagine how you could use it as a crack pipe as there is no ignition, no heat. It's water vapor. (But then again I have no idea how a crack pipe works, I assume you light it and it burns.)

16. water vapor...
That requires heat... The nicotine is in a refillable cartridge. Any oil or solution can go in there.

20. The vapor comes from an atomizer.
If there is any heat it is undetectable. You can smoke these for 10 minutes and stick them in your pocket.

The nicotine cartridges are mostly not refillable. You can make your own refillable ones from old cartridges, but why bother? They cost maybe a buck each and last approx as long as a pack of cigs.

6. Do they make those for state and local governments
They are more addicted to cigs than a 4 pack a day smoker.

8. Just doesn't have the same ring.
...I used to call my smokes "smokey treats."

When I switched to lozenges, I got "sucky treats." :D

12. I like the lozenges.
I find that I can control the dose more accurately, and my jaw doesn't ache all the time from ALL THAT CHEWING.

14. Google electronic cigarettes, there are many different vendors.
And check the forums mentioned above to see a discussion about the different brands and models.

17. Well, I just ordered from Luci Tobaccoless Cigs.
I'm very curious to see how these work out. I like to travel, but anymore, most hotels don't accommodate smokers - which makes one "cheat" or have a miserable vacation!
