opinions?

So I am not an advocate for following cultural fades because its 'cool' nor do I enjoy cigarettes, but I have a question for you

would you use a flavored, from coffee to fruit flavor, non-nicotine electronic cigarette? Almost the same way we use gum.

Wondering what you guys think.

[ridiculous]

i wouldn't, i don't see the point.

the e-cigarettes don't have any tests showing long term effects on people, and for that reason alone i would stay away from them. but other than that, they seem really silly to me.

anyways...smoke weed instead if you want to smoke something haha.

as much as I wouldnt use ecigs, I dont have any urge to smell like shit.

[ridiculous]

yeah i don't smoke anything myself, but i'm just saying...ecigs probably will have some nasty side effects with time, whereas pot is okayish

I wouldn't. They should be used to quit smoking. They're nothing like a real cigarette... with tobacco.

I remember the first time i saw them in a mall in south Florida when i was there, I seriously thought people were smoking inside..

after i realized they were electronic, I thought the people looked like idiots..

Why sit there with a FAKE cigarette ... Your pretending to do something nasty.. The point ? I dont see..

The point is to imitate a cigarette so the rewarding system in your brain reacts to it and makes you feel like it's a real cigarette. It's a legitimate excuse for doing so, but still...

If you've ever smoked and been addicted to it, you'll know it's much more than just getting the nicotine. Just a few puffs and your body will have gotten the required amount of nicotine - but why do you keep on smoking? Because of the indirect rewarding system. Basically the feeling if gives, not the effect. Mental addiction.

So im not going to go out and buy an ecig, but what about the idea of non-nicotine flavored vaporizers, or ecigs. They would be the equivalent of smoke gum. Sitting there writing something and puffing awy flavor vapor. Its almost the same thought as chewing gum. Any thoughts on it use as that?

EDIT: someone just asked me about what I mean exactly

I mean non-smokers trying a flavored (like fruit or mint of coffee) non-nicotine ecig for enjoyment, like chewing a stick of gum.

I think it's hard to draw a line between actual smoking and ecigs. Sure, appearance and the fact that an ecig is quite a bit like an imitation, but still. As a non smoker, it'd be like two different flavors of gum; same thing, different color, so to speak. But sure, it tastes fresh, just like a hookah.
