TBH, I did no reading on this subject at all. I am not a big fan of smocking as it makes my eyes soar and I get headaches !
I am not a good passive smoker at.

sorry

I want an e-pipe and although I found a site that says they do the liquid with zero nicotine, I still haven't found any listed, it's just mentioned in the pipe description.

How much did you pay for it?

I'm thinking if its good and better for peoples health then it might be a good xmas present for my brother

I was thinking about this the other day, does this not make it easier to OD (or LD) on nicotine since its actually a very dangerous drug itself? Having a lower LD point than coke i think...?

There is one on IWOOT which has filters with no nicotine at all, the do various 'flavours' like mint.
As a smoker, although i very rarely smoke at all now, i'm not sure if i like the idea or not. Smoking isn't cool, it never has been and never will be. It makes you smell, is anti-social and damages both your own health and the health of other people around you.
If they were used as another way of giving up i.e. low nicotine ones or flavoured ones to give the sensation of smoking without being as damaging then fine. I'd even have one myself. But to use them just to get round the smoking ban, get your arse outside and smoke there.

Why did you start then

?

As much as i kind of hate to admit it since i don't smoke and am generally pretty against it in most ways (not particularly vocal mind) its still kind cool. But that's because of the way its advertised, and portrayed, some films just wouldn't work without smoking for instance... Its weird and i have double standards on this i guess. We're brought up from quite an early age to be accepting of smoking (forget the stupid things on packaging and everything else) and that's why its a pretty heated argument. Well that and its incredibly addictive and most people who do so would rather argue and carry on than stop...

Ok i got a bit lost in that post

They haven't done clinical trials on it yet, but I guess it's no more dangerous than a regular cancer stick... I used to smoke and loved it, but now I hate it and find it horrid and a ridiculous thing to do. However is this helps ween people off them then I'm all for it, and especially since there's no smoke smell.

Is there a way of knowing when you've smoked 1 fags worth?
