Last night I came home and saw that my Cuban cigar was missing from my now unused ashtray and the following conversation ensued with my Signif Other (if anyone still uses that silly description):

ME: Where's my Cuban?

SO: Your what?

ME: My Cuban cigar.

SO: I don't know where was it?

ME: In the ashtray.

SO: OH that. I thought it was a cat turd. I threw it out.

I went for a beer at my local al fresco Chinese restaurant the other day for a beer, I heard another regular say "hi, Jon, cool you've got a big one" . I immediately looked down and said, "thank you"! Then I realized he was talking about my itaste!

After smoking 70 years and quitting you deserve mad props!!!!!! youre the man!

A new study in the medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that E-Cigs work just as well as nicotine patches in helping people to quit smoking, Of those assigned to the e-cig with nicotine, 7.3 percent had abstained from smoking during the entire trial period. Of those assigned to nicotine patches, 5.8 percent had also abstained, and a little more than 4 percent of those assigned to the placebo e-cigs abstained. After smoking for 70 years, Ive now been using the E-Cig for one year with, surprisingly, no difficulty eliminating analogs. I still have two unopened cartons on hand with no desire to use them. My personal opinion why so many have difficulty in eliminating analogs is due to vaping the plethora of flavored juices. I never smoked strawberry or butter scotch Marlboros before, so why smoke these flavors now? Vaping only tobacco flavored juice, I receive not only the nicotine to satisfy the addiction but the taste of the analog, so closely resembling the analog, I doubt Id know the difference.

I've heard that if you swallow small amounts of saliva over a long period of time that you will eventually die.

Lots of fear mongering going on right now... like the story last week (on all the major news outlets) about the rising use of e-cigs by teenagers. Of course teens are using e-cigs... they use cigarettes and marijuanna too! The CDC did a similar study just a few months prior about the rising use by adults... but of course the media only jumped on the story about teens. The numbers are growing for EVERYONE because people are becoming more educated and e-cigs offer lots of benefits over tobacco...

Cigarettes cause cancer... Still sold in stores, Alcohol causes liver damage and has been the cause of many dui related deaths.... Still sold in stores, Vaping smells good, and allows people to quit cancer causing tobacco.... Let's attack that and try to ban them! What a backwards ***, ignorant society America has become... It's sad really.

I think they are kind of cool myself and will probably get one one day. I do also think that as battery technology gets better (and it is day by day) the trend will be towards more comfortable and convenient sizes and not boat anchors. Continuing with the direction the MVP is going could end up with battery cables and a car battery if they arent careful. I don't know how much battery I really need for a day of vaping yet but I rather doubt I will ever need anything over the amounts the MVP gives.

It may end up a curiosity rather than a mainstay.
