My Experience with Electronic Cigarettes

I smoke outside because I don’t want my grandchildren breathing second-hand smoke and, also, because my daughter Neva can’t stand being in cigarette smoke.

It’s ok when it’s spring or fall but it’s really hot to sit out on the porch in the summer and I freeze in the winter.

My daughters and daughter-in-law are helping me by getting me these electronic cigarettes. They look like a cigarette although they are heavier than one. They light up red at the end so it looks like it’s burning when you puff on it and they release a mist when you breathe out that looks like smoke but is not.

Because I’m not breathing smoke into my lungs or taking in all the other things they add to cigarettes, like tar and other chemicals, it’s seems to me it would be more healthy.

Also, I can smoke inside without concern about second-hand smoke.

They do take a bit of getting used to but overall I like them. I had some trouble with mine but the company that makes them replaced the one that messed up. However, another one stopped working after that so the ones I have may not be the best ones that you can get. You might want to check into all the ones that are available now.

If you want to stop smoking, this might be a step in the right direction. Even if you don’t quit smoking, you will at least not be breathing in the smoke into your lungs and you should have less smoker’s cough.
