It certainly is extremely addictive stuff.

Strangely though, I read the other day that it's virtually impossible to become addicted to Nicotine when it's taken on its own. Apparently you need the "special" blend of chemicals from cigarette smoke to become dependent on it. It would be interesting (though not particularly morally responsible!) to see if people who have only ever smoked e-cigs are actually physically addicted to nicotine or the habit itself.

Well that's my though for the day - need to lie down after that!:)

Not what you're looking for?
