Electronic Cigarettes & Discount

Hello Everyone,
I dont post here often, but for the last few weeks ive become something of a electronic cigarette evangelist. If you dont know what they are, this is a quick description courtesy of Wikipedia:
An electronic cigarette, also known as an e-cigarette or personal vaporizer, is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by way of a vaporized solution. It is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. In addition to purported nicotine delivery,[1] this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.
Ive tried many things to give up smoking before, all failed. 3 weeks ago i decided to order and e-cig, being made recently redundant, money was tight and this seemed like a way to quit and save money at the same time. All I can say is that I have not touched or thought about a real cigarette since it arrived in the post.
There are people who think these things are gimmicks or just like any other NRT, however ive found nothing else that allows you to keep the hand to mouth habit while removing tons of the chemicals found in real fags.
Yes, there is nicotine in this product which some people might see as defeating the point, but wiuthout all the other chemicals, it is definitely healthier. As for the other ingredients, nothing in there is classed as being toxic, in fact the main constituents are either proylene glycol which is common in food or vegetable glycerin which is used as a cough/throat soother. Further to this, i make my own liquids to refill at home, so i know exactly what goes in.
Anyway, im sorry for the long post, i just had to share, i feel so much better and have so much more energy!
If anyone is interested, ive ordered from both E-Cigs and Totally Wicked
heres a discount code for Totally Wicked for 7.5% off: 6B9B1
I hope i havent been too evangelistical, if you have any firther questions, let me know, ill try to help
Edit: just so its clear, im not trying to give medical advice on quitting smoking or anything related, this is just a post about something thats helped me and how you can save a bit of money should you be choosing to buy these products anyway

Please see the link for full details on the MHRAs Public consultation Document (MLX 364): The regulation of nicotine containing products
HOW WILL THIS LEGISLATION, IF PASSED AFFECT YOU!
1. As from the 21st June 2010 all selling of un-licensed nicotine products (E.liquids, Pre Filled Cartridges Containing Nicotine) will be banned. Companies such as The Electronic Cigarette Company and Totally Wicked would be shut down by Trading Standards.
2. Its worth asking yourself the question, that are these products safe if they need regulating?
Thanks

I don't think its a fair to question whether electronic cigarettes are actually safe or not just because there is regulatory action taken to try to oversee the industry. Many indsutries with products that are common mass market products now a days have gone through this pre regulatory stage.0
