Thanks for sharing this Babydoggy.

There are so many different types of e-cigarettes on the market now and from what I believe there are different ways of 'charging them up' or 'loading them'. Something that I'm still trying to get my head around!

Until any of the e-cig products have been fully regulated by the powers that be, then we are unable to recommend them. However, as many of our members are successfully stopping smoking cigarettes through using the e-cig, then I am happy to support them in their efforts just as long as they are using them to help stop them from smoking rather than as an alternative to smoking.

Information like this is always useful to have. I shall add in some 'tags' just so that this post is easy to find once it drops off the end of the list

Thanks again

Thanks Mad, I shall mark some time into my diary and have a good read up. So am I right in thinking then that there are only two different types but many different brands?

The tobacco industry and all those with a vested interest ie shareholders in tobacco companies (some MEP's ?) are starting to panic as are governments, if everyone takes to smoking e-cigs how are they going to make money. Tobacco companies to a certain extent could diversify and go into e-cig selling but what becomes of the trade in NRT for the pharmaceutical industry. Lets face it once upon a time it was generally the advice that it was dangerous for quitters to overdose of their chosen replacement therapy, now they're being actively encouraged to use not one, but two NRT products.

Then there's the failure rate of NRT. Some stay quit, many don't thus keeping the NRT industry in business with future quits. Despite the fact that nicotine chewing gum has been around since at least 1981 the price of it today does not reflect it's age. Imagine paying around £7 a packet for paracetamol? Nicotine chewing gum is no more technically advanced in the job it does. Paracetamol gets rid of your headache because it contains a pain killer, chewing gum takes the edge off your desire for a nicotine hit by slowly releasing nicotine. Not enough to completely satisfy your desire though otherwise the tobacco industry, not to mention the treasury might get a bit upset that you've found a slightly cheaper alternative to keep your drug dependency fed.

The Nicotine Replacement Therapy industry is no better than the diet industry. It relies completely on the users own will power and desire to succeed, without that will its useless and they know it. Why, if weight loss clubs are so fool proof, and so successful do they constantly send emails for years after you left them offering discounts for re-joining. Are their ex-members not still the slim and svelt like person they sent on their way? surely inviting them back is confirmation that their product isn't as long term as they would have you believe. So it is with NRT, they know that in the main, they have a long term returning customer.

A quote taken from one of the sites of the above links:

"If all the smokers in Britain smoked e-cigarettes, we would save 5 million deaths in people who are alive today." -- Professor John Britton, Royal College of Physicians

So not only will the treasury lose massive amounts of revenue in tobacco duty they'll have to provide for all those 5 million people who have failed to kill themselves and may have to provide for them in their ripe old age.

At the end of the day, whatever may be contained in the liquid of an e-cig I doubt very much that Arsenic and cyanide are two of the ingredients.
