subject: E Cigarettes – Avoiding the Ash Cloud of Confusion [print this page] E Cigarettes Avoiding the Ash Cloud of Confusion
If you have any interest at all in the subject of electronic cigarettes for whatever reason, then a really decent and intelligent place to start is some of the e cigarette forums that are out there.
If the forum is a respectable one and properly monitored and moderated then you will dig some really good information up, not to mention lots of answers to the many questions you might have.
Both smokers and non smokers are intrigued and sometimes perplexed at all the talk of e smoking, e liquid and vapour that seem to be dominating news items in all forms of media during the last few years.
As a non smoker and someone who has written many articles about the topic of e cigs since 2008, I always find it extremely helpful to browse through all the conversations that are taking places on these forums. Some of the forums don't even require you to be a member to read through the info, although most will insist on membership if you are to actively take part in the discussions.
What intrigues you most about e-smoking or "vaping" as it's often referred to? Why has it become so popular so quickly?
What are the differences between smoking tobacco cigarettes and vaping an e cig?
Does the e cigarette really contain no tobacco at all?
Do smokers use them to actually quit smoking, or as an alternative to smoking?
What about the nicotine?
Is there really no smoke when you use them?
Can I really use e cigs on public transport and in my local bar?
What's with all this e-liquid stuff?
Is it more or less expensive to use electronic cigarettes or tobacco ones?
Why can't I buy them in the shops yet?
These are just some of the questions that may be fizzing around your brain. Perhaps you are a smoker who wonders if all the hype about e-cigarettes is true, perhaps you are a non smoker with a genuine interest in the future of the product (a bit like me) or perhaps you are just plain and simply inquisitive!
Regardless of your reasons and interest, as stated at the beginning of the article, have a look through some of the electronic cigarette or e-liquid forums. You will find a group of people, who are mostly more than willing to help, advise and share their many and varied stories with you.
