Let's Talk About Smoking

[espressogrin]

Let me be up front. Im not a smoker, but fully understand why smokers like to smoke, in spite of the fact that everyone knows that smoking cigarettes is very bad for you. Each year more people die from smoking related illnesses than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, automobile accidents, fires and AIDS combined .

There are 4,000 chemicals in a cigarette; At least 43 of them are known carcinogens.

Also, Right now there are bans against smoking happening all over the country, and theyre increasing at an amazing rate. Businesses, public buildings, beaches, public transportation, and smoking has even been banned by some cities in your own back yard.

Thats pretty scary stuff¦.certainly you would think that would be enough to get people to stop smoking cigarettes. But, not so! Ive never been addicted to cigarettes, cant begin to imagine the difficulty of trying to stop smoking.

My sister started smoking when she was 14 and continued to smoke all her life¦She just turned 60. She smoked 2 packs a day and just couldnt stop smoking tobacco cigarettes. For 20 years she tried the patch, gum, hypnosis, cold turkey, and almost everything else you could think of. Nada!

Then, I found this amazing new device¦an electronic cigarette. Its the first real alternative to smoking cigarettes Ive ever seen that really makes sense. This unique electronic cigarette delivers nicotine (from vegetables, no less) through a plain water vapor mist that looks, feels, and tastes very much like smoking. But, it has no combustion, no second-hand smoke, no lingering smell, and no known cancer causing agents¦absolutely no harmful effects common to all cigarettes.

And, it can be used in most places where smoking is prohibited including offices, restaurants and other public places. My sisters family loves it. I laugh because she came over to my house about a week after she started using it and said, “My closet really stinks! I said, “Yeah, weve been trying to tell you that for 25 years... ha-ha. Now she can sit next to us and enjoy “smoking without effecting our personal space or health. I first saw these on CNN news and on specials like Good Morning America. They are really cool!

By the way, my sister has been using it now for 4 weeks and hasnt had a cigarette, or the urge for one. Now, thats a miracle. Oh, heres a really good testimonial. She went into the hospital overnight for some tests 3 days ago. She showed the nurses what the device was, and they actually let her smoke it¦in her hospital room. Can you believe that?

Has anyone had success with these? From what Ive seen, they are amazing. I think someday these will be as common-place as the cell phone.

I youd like to shoot you some info on it, shoot me an e-mail.
