Hmmmm. Maybe show him this thread showing others' experiences with it. That's what I'm going to do today!

Places online sell different flavor nicotine to place in the filter...everything from dreamsicle, strawberry shortcake, to even rum flavored.

It takes a bit to get used to. The water vapor is a different feeling than the smoke....but so much healthier for the user and the people around. No second hand smoke.

It is way cheaper too. Each filter is the equivalent of one pack....and the filter can be filled two more times.....each filter = 3 packs. About 3 filters used completely with nicotine drops (equivalent to 9 packs) cost about 6 dollars....while buying 9 packs of traditional cost close to $50.

A lot of doctors are encouraging patients to use this as an alternative. Like I said, several use it and end up quitting smoking even though they don't suggest it. Which doesn't make since to me. If people are quitting with it, let them! lol

Hope that helps a bit!
Wow! Thanks for the information. This really helps. I read online the other day about the e-cig and it was shown to have some chemical in it that is used in anti-freeze. I'm just wondering how many chemicals it actually does have. Maybe it just depends on the manufacturer???

I know actual cigarettes have hundreds of toxic substances in them, so how much harm can an e-cig be to one's body if it has some toxic chemicals in it.

Have you quit cigarettes? I know you said you have tried several times. I wish you luck. I've never smoked, but I know from watching the dh that it takes determination and self-discipline to stop. He has quit about 3 times for a few years apiece. I was so proud of him. Then, something very stressful happened each time and it started him back.
