    Are you fucken retarded? The air was being replaced at a rate that you were getting less toxic air than you do now. You were getting fuck all smoke if any at the rate it was being pushed out of the cabin.

    I smoked for 20 odd years. Replaced it with eCigs and ain't looked back.

    Cheaper on the wallet and better for your health.

    Mind you, it did take some getting used to and it ain't as satisfying as a real ciggie. Still, not had a smoke in almost a year

    That's still smoking, just non toxic and they are also banned from some (if not all) Bars/Clubs etc. You either puff on something or you don't...your habit is still there just not the addiction.

    I don't care, it's got me off the ciggies and that's all that counts. I choose to puff and freely admit that I've an addiction, it's just that mines newer and healthier ( so they say ).

    The odd thing is all the tabacco flavoured eCigs taste like crap, my fav is coffee , followed closely by banana.

    You can get them in differing amounts of nicotine, and I've halved mine already, but on the flip side, you don't smoke them to the butt and kinda never know when you're finished.

    Drew as usual, you're a cunt, choke on your ciggie, wanker!

    $26 pack of smokes a day? = $9490 a year

    I support those who choose the eCig over cigarettes, I have two sisters that doing just that.

    The habit was costing me $5K per year. Six and half years later that a fair amount of money that has been spent elsewhere on more important things.

First thing in the morning, when drinking, when others light up you do, when talking on the phone/driving/straight after a meal etc = habit. Many smokers will get up after a meal and go outside for a smoke, that's habit.

    No shit, Sherlock. Newsflash! "E-Cigarettes" are an alternative method of delivering nicotine to the body so he's hardly shaken the addiction, innit?!?

    What's Wallace been smoking, that's the $6.40 question.

    I was surprised on a recent flight. "Electronic devices..." speech even mentioned NOT using eCiggies on the flight.
    Perhaps they also "interfere" with navigational equipment?

    And if you switch from smoking cigarettes to vaping a nicotine-filled liquid you're still feeding your addiction. Pretty fucking simple really, innit.

    Your original statement was "E-Cigarettes" are an alternative method of delivering nicotine'' which is not accurate, what should have been said was "E-Cigarettes" can be an alternative method of delivering nicotine'' ... simple really innit.
