E Cigarette Blog

For me it was Christmas of last year. So I"m at my parents house and we are all opening gifts but first a little background story if I may.

As a kid growing up with a house full of smokers for some reason it felt the smoke always drifted in my direction. We would be all be sitting in the living room and that cloud just hunted me down like a ghost or something. When I complained it was "ok lets open up a window or turn on a fan" but still I was the smoke magnet. Years later down the line in high school a friend passed me a "square" and I had a buzz for like two blocks. So me and my circle all smoked and drank and just did was some teens do at that age. So anyway those of us that did smoke during the 90's new it was bad for us but also knew that if you stopped before you got older the harm would be lessened. So most of us just said that it would be a high school thing and around age 20 would be the cut off limit at most.

There was a few of us that stopped and others like me that did not. Its also funny that those that stopped cigarettes continued with weed and alcohol but I stopped weed.

Ok fast forward and at 30 and still smoking cigarettes one day I go to my parents house for Christmas. My mother a 25+ year smoker had been telling me she was going to quit. I found it hard to believe because after my non-smoking Grandfather died of bone cancer she would say that cancer could get you cigs or not.

Well things began to get serious when she said no more smoking over her house and I balked saying yeah right with a laugh. When she told me she had not smoked a cigarette in a month that was my wake up call. So I open up my gift and its this little metal cylinder thing with another box of plastic objects. She tells me this is an electronic cigarette and she found them off the net. The term "found off the net" is never a good persuasive buying point for me since I've been
using the net over 10 years. Anyway shes my mom so that's good enough. Shes like "read the instructions, only put two drop in". "Its poison if you get it on your hands and mouth". I'm sitting there like what the heck are you giving me?

Well I try it out and just like the first time I tried to smoke a tobacco cigarette in front of this girl to impress her, I fail. Nothing comes out. Ok so its a learning curve, you have to pull it hard or something. So eventually I get the hang and go home. Later on that night I try to smoke a regular cigarette and what the heck it does not even feel the same. In fact it feel useless. So in the end guess a 25+ year smoker knows better than me. so now I am an e cig advocate and hope smokers that are trying to slow down can start with these. New smokers of course this is not for you.
