Great, just what I've been looking for. But how stupid are these people? They decide to invent the ultimate gadget to cure smoking, but then decide to charge 4 times as much as what an average smoker would spend.
More Info
In Uk, this costs £70/$140 a month!
 
That's disgusting.

| Actually, cigarettes here in Wisconsin are up to $7 a pack on some brands, which would be about $210/month for a pack-a-day smoker, or for my Mom who smokes two packs, $420/month. I'm halfway tempted to tell her about these. |

Well I smoke about 10 roll ups a day, which is about £20/$40 a month. Straights are twice as expensive and over here I think the average smoker prefers roll ups and probably as many as I smoke.
For your mum that would be cheaper... but most smokers would be totally unable to afford it.
How they expect to make money is beyond me.

i bought a set of these electronic smokes. Not because i wanted to stop. But more out of curiosity. TBH, it really isn't a substitute imo. It's kidding yourself on.
The price is way over the top.
My advice....cold turkey, or stick to gum. |

I agree with theblue, If you really want to quit then just always chew gum, it worked for both my mom and dad.. and its the cheapest method by far..!

| Hmm I still don't get why it's called E-Cigarettes. You don't smoke it online. |

I guess those that want to try it out of curiosity or trying to quit would pay what ever price if it can help them out.

I have a family member from new york who was paying 9.00 for a pack / 85.00+ for a carton and quit after 3 months who smoked 20 years or so.
Im thinking that this e-cig is not the key to quit, it's raising the prices 10.00 or more on all packs.

The "E" is for "electronic", I believe. Just a guess, but I may just be correct... |

Yes it's electronic but it has a special technological device that creates a harmless inhaleable smoke to give you the feeling of really smoking.

I have to QUIT smoking, It's so hard though. Ive been smoking for 10 years and im 27, I used to smoke the chronic every other day too which killed my lungs, atleast I quit that BS. Ive tried the electronic cigarette, it doesnt work trust me. Nothing works, it's like crack........ Cigarettes now days are scientifically enginered with mind controlling secret drugs lol. Im serious, it's a billion dollar business. It's known that cigarettes are as hard to kick as heroin  |
