Electronic Cigarettes

Has anyone tried these?

BBC NEWS | Health | Fears over electronic cigarettes

If you have, what are they like? Are they as good as real cigarettes?

What is it that you think is anti-social, consuming nicotine or smoking a cigarette?

If it's the former then would consuming alcohol and caffeine be anti-social?

If it's the later then you need to understand that using an electronic cigarette is not the same as smoking a real cigarette.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes

I think if it came to smoking an electronic cigarette you should pause for thought and contemplate quitting...

As a smoker myself I think I'd rather smoke B&H, they probably do less harm than some China made electronic fag.

£40 for a starter pack?? you are better off buying proper ones. They probably taste better as well.

Can't really see myself having a cup of tea with one of those things every morning.
