I had to google it,looks like there are numerous accidents,I don't know the usage to accident ratio....Maybe strict quality control would stub these explosions out.

Unfortunately whenever I see regulating ecigs mentioned it's quickly followed by people jumping up and down because it will mean an increase in cost.

Personally I think that if you choose to "Smoke" you can pay the price, I used to smoke proper cigs for 20+ years, but packed in in May 2000. Still not financially better off as I just spend my savings elsewhere.

Did you see McDees face after he'd sold his 300 billionth burger?

Now that is frightening!

The thing is, efags, cars, planes, sugar tongs, whatever!
None of them have a perfect safety record, but we still use them all.

It's known as choice.

Mind over matter....it's easy to quit it's their after. Find your occupation or just use a pen to twiddle with

I've been smoking since I was nine, toking since I was fourteen, and I ain't gonna quit. When the doctor tells me there is nowt more he can do, I will repond, hoarsely thru a hole in my throat, "Yes there is; get me a priest right the (deleted) now, and make sure he has some fags and a bottle of Pussers with him.
I'm lucky enough to live close to the rez, so I got my smokes for 20 bucks a carton. No warnings. No piscs of the dying. Just four words: "Made on Mohawk Territory."

I'm now sat here staring at the little cellophane strip that will allow me entry to ten superking, I haven't gone this long, without tobacco for over 40, perhaps 50 years.

Should I be strong? Should I turn my back on this packet of weed? After all, I've managed nearly 5 days without lighting up.

What should I do? (somehow, I already know what I will do, which is probably different from what I should do).

Oh stay strong dear man. I share your agony

Let's pause in our sharing of Less's pain and give our thoughts and prayers to the Swedes in light of the deadly terrorist attack.

...I threw out all my lighters and matches so rubbing two boy scouts together to get a light is proving difficult, perhaps if they weren't so ticklish I could smoke more easily!

I decided to have a hamlet at 11:30pm on Friday night, except like you could I find a flame? Could I buggary!! I was climbing the walls until I found a complimentary pack of matches from an Indian restaurant in Covent Garden in my evening suit, damp as hell but I managed to light ON of the buggers. Heaven!

No pain, I was back to rolling my own, decided that was more unhealthy than smoking as I couldn't read the screen so, back on the weed and it's WONDERFUL!

I moved into a residential care home on Jan 26th, so had to go COLD TURKEY on fags.
I only smoked 10 or fewer roll ups a day for the past 3 years so did not expect extreme cravings - but I have had longings - especially after meals.

I have not noticed any improvement in breathing - still gasp when move about.
If anything it is more difficult to cough to clear my chest - never reached the wheezing stage despite smoking heavily for over 50 years.

So I feel that my only gain is cost - just hope that cravings will eventually fade

I hope they do Margaret. Hope you will be happy in your new home
