Out of the thousands of people using e-cigs we only get a few sensationalised bad stories... It's e-cigarettes' lithium-ion batteries that combust. These batteries are also found in laptops and cellphones. But with e-cigarettes, the batteries are especially prone to overheating because smokers use incompatible chargers, Do modifications that are not standard, overcharge the e-cigarettes, or don't take sufficient safety precautions or buy cheapies that are sold at gas stations....

To quit you must have a plan and stick to it....Much like Tapering from Prednisone....Reduce the Nicotine from 24mg to 0mg...and stop....The craving is usually over..How long it takes is up to your time table....Took me around 3 months and over 7 years now n no thought of even touching a cigarette again.

Wow....Im amazed at that......i believe the smell might linger for a brief min or so and even the vapour dissipates in a few seconds..I admit if one is smoking intense flavours, it might last longer..

BUT then again i agree, if someone does smoke it then they should be more courteous of others....NOW i wonder about that lady wearing perfume in a doctor's surgery?
