Quote. "Ann McNeill, a professor of tobacco addiction at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, said the findings should persuade health experts to embrace e-cigarettes as a useful weapon in the battle against smoking.

"Electronic cigarettes are the most exciting new development in tobacco control over the last few decades as we have witnessed a rapid uptake of these much less harmful products by smokers," she said in an emailed comment.

"The popularity of e-cigarettes suggests that we now have a product that can compete with cigarettes, thus heralding the first real possibility that cigarette smoking could be phased out."End quote.   

Been vaping e-cigarettes for 27 months now and am pleased to have found the above on Reuters.

I actually find no diffs with my monster Lavatube and Innokin. The taste is exactly the same as REAL cigs except that there are no carcinogens or stuff that can kill you.
E-cigs have become a hobby to me now to the extent that I do my own liquid mixing and build my own coils. Costs me R2 per day now compared to R65 pd.
Over the past few months I have seen an increase of e-cig users openly vaping in restaurants and in malls.
I feel great that I have succeeded to get 8 people to quit tobacco permanently.

Here is the one I use. Forget about the Twisp and other small cigarette size stuff that don't work. waste of money. This is as thick as a dick. (Sorry, can't get another comparison).

Check out this forum. You will be blown away at how e cigs has grown. Not only locally but throughout the world. I'm loving vaping. No more stinky cigarettes for me. This becomes a hobby as you will read on the forum. The best and easiest way to stop smoking AND have a hobby at the same time other than stocks. The smokers out there will not be disappointed. Believe you me.
Smoke free for 30 months without even trying.

Hi. Thanx for sharing this. Do you feel healthier now than you when you were smoking cigs? Also do you smoke the one with or without nicotine?

I'm still cutting over. A bit scared but I will be ok

Thanx for the reply. Do you feel healthier? Like as an example you can easily go for a walk without huffing or puffing.

I haven't got that constant cough and best of all. my sinus probs disappeared.  I only had about 10% airway in my nostrils due to severe sinus polyps for years. My doctor could not believe it as only surgery would have helped.

Hi Orca

May I please know where you buy these one litre mixes from?

Just had my 4 year anniversary of no cigarettes. I started on 18 mg juice at 50/50 PG/VG and menthol flavouring. I have since cut down to 8 mg 50/50 with no flavour and it works out very much cheaper as the flavour concentrates are expensive as is the nicotine.
Now I order a litre bottle already mixed to my specs and only use 4 ml per day. That costs me R400 and lasts for 8 months.

Interesting to see how smokers have quit. In the late 1980's I stopped smoking for a year, but unfortunately went to an all afternoon lunch at a German restaurant and smoked cigars at the end of the meal, which started me smoking all over again. Then in 1990 when I completed my EDP at USB I resolved that that night at the passing out dinner I would give up smoking. At that stage I was smoking +/- 60 Texan plain a day, well it took me 2 days to give up - the withdrawal symptoms were horrendous, but the good side of it is I never touched another cigarette again. Also I can drink with smoker friends and am not irritated by the smell of their cigarettes, and many is the time that think of taking a drag but resist. Some of the most pleasant smells is that of a cigar or a pipe somehow the smell of these two are quite intoxicating
