    I haven't tried it I'm afraid, but both my cousin and my uncle were 'smoking' these at the weekend. My uncle seems to be bearing with it but my cousin can't stand them - he says the taste is awful and its no substitute at all for a ciggie, and is just cutting down on the real things week by week. Sorry.

    You should be aware that some of these gadgets contain no tobacco but that it isn't clear what some of them DO contain. Most though contain: water, propylene glycol, nicotine, a scent that emulates a tobacco flavour and a membrane to suspend the ingredients. The nicotine can still be harmful.

    Lecture over.

    I don't understand smoking so certainly don't understand why anyone would want those though granted it doesn't have all the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes so safer for your health.

    If you wanna burn money and create an awful smell along with damaging your health, that's your call but personally I'll never understand it. Waste of money and longest ever suicide IMO.

    And this was relevant to the thread how exactly? You're entitled to your opinion of course but it does seem sometimes that one only has to mention the evil word 'smoking' to get non-smokers up on their soapboxes.

    To the OP - I'd heard of these and would be interested to hear of others' experiences too.

    The zealot anti's would probably turn up on a "what's the best way to smoke kippers" thread...

    TrollyDolly - have you tried the (non-electronic) Nicorette pipes?
  • Hi there
    Well I thought it would prob get that kind of reaction. Soooooooo predictable!
    Thanks all for your useful advice.
    Jancee Ha ha that doesnt surprise me a bit!!! Thanks
    Man at Home, ive not tried the nicorette pipes, ill go and google them now. Thank you.
    Still think this is a good idea though, look forward to ON TOPIC replies. Thank you

    I'm not a zealot, but certainly don't enjoy smokers polluting my oxygen supply. This electronic cigarette looks a bit, well, naff to me. I can understand why someone might be interested to see if it works. If I was a smoker then I'd probably be happier sticking with the devil that I did know rather than a new one.
    Happy chappy
