Just an update,
I was a seriously addicted smoker, thanks to the OP of this thread I learned of e-cigs and it has now been a month since I smoked tobacco.
Please allow me to stress to all you smokers out there, particularly UK smokers, don't pay for these 'very vocal' anti-smoker's National Health Service etc. by your purchasing of cigarettes, I've guesstimated that I would spend/smoke, over the next 12 months, circa £4,380.00 yet with e-cigs (e-liquid and equipment) I will spend a mere £200.00 and without risk/damage to my health.
Let these very vocal anti-smokers pay their own taxes rather than us 'smokers' subsidising them!
