Maybe this is an option that will make people get along better and allow those who want the feeling of a smoke and need the nicotine high more freedom.
Just a though.

I've been using E-Cigs for about a year now. Totally stopped using tobacco cigarettes! Technically, it is not smoking, but if people see a little plume of "vapor" they start complaining.... human nature, I guess. I use cherry cartridges and it smells like cherries, not like cigarette smoke. Since there's no smell or lingering "smoke", I can now use the E-Cigs in the house, my car and I even used it on a flight to/from Europe last summer, in stealth mode.

From what little research I've done, it seems that nicotine is no more harmful to you than caffeine, albeit very addictive. It's all the other chemicals in tobacco that are so harmful.

Smoke Free . . .
