Come on we can breathe well enough to form a fist and pack our punches! (non-violently) of course, but ” I have been to the mountain….”
The average age of anyone using the e-cigarettes is over 30. Most have either suffered.
financially from inflated taxes, physically from tar and carbonmonoxide plus thousands of other chemicals in real burning leaf tobacco. They are ostracized by employers and NON-smokers, they have tried all of the Big Pharmaceutical nicotine replacement therapies to no avail, they can be fined for smoking in their own cars, parks, or anywhere (almost). Should people over the age of 30 not be allowed to buy ice cream or candy bars, because, it may entice someone under the legal age for smoking to eat sweets? 4,000,000 Americans are vaping, and daily growth is exponential, and we did it ourselves, we helped ourselves because all we ever got from nicotine prohibitionists was SMOKE or DIE! All these so called health regulatory institutions, such FDA, AMA, AHA, ALA get gigantic amounts of money from the Big Pharmaceutical companies, which produce products for every ailment real or imagined! 90% failure rates for nicotine replacement therapies. Just watch nightly FOX news, and every commercial ad, promotes disease and ailments, with drugs, that have the FDA’s green light of approval, though they all have side-effects that could kill us?

How you ask??  With the use of an electronic cigarette. It works. The FDA and the Quit or Die people just do not want you to know about it.

Have you tried the gums and lozenges only to find the peppery taste of nicotine and the severe nausea from the nicotine in your stomach?? I never got far with that. Id rather smoke than feel sick all day and taste pepper until I wanted to scream. Here is a list of side effects.

What are the possible side effects of nicotine gum or lozenges?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Stop using this medication and call your doctor at…
