Has Anyone Had Any Experience With The New ‘electronic Cigarette?”?
yes. and i love it. there are several different styles, but i find that the mini cigarette is the most representative of a smoke. the sensation of smoking is extremely similar to a real cigarette. it is different, but if you are really looking to change your habit and you fear quitting, this is a good avenue.
if you aren’t familiar, what happens is the e-cig is made of three parts: the rechargeable battery, the atomizer and the nicotine cartridge. When you take a drag, it causes the battery to activate the atomizer which heats up the nicotine solution and produces a water based vapor. As there is no tobacco, nothing burns and no second hand smoke is produced. You can smoke them anywhere as they are odorless and the vapor is waterbased so it dissipates.
i have smoked mine in public, at an NHL game, in restaurants, in the airport and never been asked to put it away. i have smoked it with non-smokers and they think this is a gift to non-smokers as well and would have no problem sharing a bar with these smokey treats.
i write a lot on these so if you want, check out the links below and i am happy to answer any further questions you might have.

Although recent studies have shown that these e-cigar have minimal amount of nicotine, i think it is much to have minimal amount of nicotine than to have it in big quantity like most regular cigarettes have. If you are a smoker, you might want to try it for yourself, and if you are not smoking at all, i think you better not start it.
