Joyetech eRoll-C

Joyetech eRoll-C

Very popular and stylish mini electronic cigarette eRoll has received a new version, while retaining all the functions and some design elements, it also comes with several improvements

At first glance, the most striking change is the plastic cartridge hidden in a metal enclosure with a small window to check e-liquid, because of thath eRoll-C gets far more robust all-metal appearance, moreover, there is no frequent wear out of the cartridge. Even the eRoll-C PCC changed the design little bit, now is made of metal while maintaining a solid 1000mAh capacity it was possible to make it even more thin.

Functionally, however, eRoll-C is no different from its predecessor and still maintains a very high standard and quality. For heating it uses the same atomizers. Batteries have protection for low voltage, short circuit protection and also protects the atomizer itself. Even such a small e-cigarette can have a number of features that we were looking for at more larger models.

The basic eRoll-C kit, see, among others, charging case, which is built-in lithium battery with 1000mAh capacity. In this case there are two LED lights next to the USB port to recharge. Personal Charging Case (PCC) is intended for one complete piece electronic cigarette eRoll-C. The actual e-cigarette battery has a capacity only 90mAh, but for charging just snapped it into the case and in half an hour is fully charged. And given that in the kit there are two e-cigarettes it will not happen that you are left without an e-cigarette.

The new generation of electronic cigarettes eRoll-C does not come with revolutionary changes, or does not significantly alter your favorite e-cigarette, it just tweaks and perfects its design which already has been so successful.

Best Ways to Quit Smoking?

Have You Discovered the Best Ways to Quit Smoking?

I've never found anyone in the world who can quit smoking successfully in an instant. The truth is, it takes such hard efforts to really quit smoking and some people even smoke harder than before after spending several weeks without smoking any cigarette. We all know that smoking is dangerous to our health and those smokers do. Yet, they still find it hard to get rid of this habit and start a new healthy lifestyle. Quitting smoking is a vital decision to accomplish though only one compared to a thousand of people can be successful enough in accomplishing this. You can find out several methods offered through e-books, health magazines, and several articles that you can find through the Web. There are so many ways—from the most modern until the most traditional ones. Based on recent research, none of those ways are proven to be effective.

Actually, the best ways to quit smoking is by opting for electronic cigarettes. It makes sense because this device can provide the feeling like real smoking on conventional cigarettes. This battery operated device can provide what tobacco cigarettes offer without all those dangerous substances which are available to them. Most manufacturers of e-cigarettes have designed and created those devices with a chamber which can turn liquid nicotine into a vapor puff. So, smokers can still feel the nicotine without getting the risk of their health like what they have when they smoke real cigarettes. It is the nicotine cartridges which are available in various levels in which smokers can opt. So, anyone who is about to reduce their nicotine amount can just choose various cartridges, until he can stop smoking.

There should be no worry about the price because electronic cigarettes can be much cheaper compared to conventional tobacco cigarettes. One can count how many packs of tobacco cigarettes that he smokes daily and if he opts for a package of electronic cigarette with several cartridges, chargers and some flavor options, he can save much money because he can inhale the cigarette many times a day and for several years. Surely, one is still dealing with nicotine and this substance has an addictive feature. This electronic cigarette is surely the best thing for those who want to stop smoking. This is not for those who do not smoke at all, but they want to try one.

e-Cigarettes have various flavors of menthol to strawberry flavors. They are available in extensive choices so that anyone can opt, based on their tastes. There are even electronic cigarettes which are especially designed for ladies. They are mostly available in various interesting colors and gorgeous design so that ladies will feel gorgeous and comfortable at the same time when using them. If you are interested in having one because of your strong desire to stop smoking, try to browse the internet to find the best products of electronic cigarettes which are available in various sizes, shapes and sizes. Most of the designs are sophisticated enough for anyone to hold. Prices are also varied from one manufacturer to another. Make sure you choose from reputable manufacturer so that you can rest assured that you have purchased the right product and can use it for a longer time.

Michelle Rodriguez on electronic cigarette

Calling it quits: Action star Michelle Rodriguez reaches for an electronic cigarette in effort to give up smoking habit

After a night of partying with the likes of Katy Perry and Diddy, actress Michelle Rodriguez didn’t opt for her usual pack of cigarettes to help her relax.
The action star appears to be looking after her health and the environment by choosing to unwind with an electronic cigarette.

Spotted leaving Robin Thicke’s birthday party at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood on Saturday night, the 34-year-old actress looked fresh-faced and makeup-free—a suggestion that she’s started to take better care of herself and her skin by avoiding a former nasty habit.
Known for being in tip-top shape for her roles in films like Avatar and the Fast & Furious series, Michelle slipped into skinny grey trousers which hugged her svelte legs.
Always one for the tomboy look, she draped an oversized grey scarf over a black blazer and studded blouse, and finished off her party outfit with trendy Isabel Marant sneaker wedges.

Tucked into the back seat of a car, relieved from the party, Michelle reached for a smokeless cigarette.
The device's green tip suggests health benefits come with choosing an e-cigarette.
With no tar and no ash, the star can now smoke wherever she pleases.
Perhaps the smokeless alternative will keep Michelle looking fresh alongside her Fast & Furious 6 co-stars.
The series’ sixth installment is set to hit theatres on May 24 of this year.

Electronic cigarettes seem to work

Electronic cigarettes seem to work, psychologically and physically

Since many of my patients have reported using electronic cigarettes to successfully stop smoking, I now recommend the devices to anyone who has tried to quit smoking cold turkey and failed.
And I think it is time that other doctors do, too.
Electronic cigarettes combine a mouthpiece, which contains liquid (including nicotine), an atomizer (which heats the liquid and turns it into vapor), a battery and an LED tip that glows like the tip of a lighted cigarette.
While early versions of the electronic cigarette date back to 1963, with a patent awarded to inventor Herbert Gilbert, the modern versions of electronic cigarettes—the basis for big brands in the industry, such as LOGIC and Blu—were introduced at the beginning of this century.
The reason my patients tell me electronic cigarettes work better than the patch or nicotine gum is that they simulate the act of smoking, but not perfectly.  They are good enough to substitute for real cigarettes, but they aren’t good enough to become an addiction, in and of themselves.  An analogy in the arena of food addiction would be something low calorie that fills you up enough to prevent bingeing on sweets, gives you some distance from that addiction, but then becomes forgettable, because it isn’t really all that compelling.
It is, of course, imperative that the electronic cigarette be a good-enough fake.  And, on this count, LOGIC seems to have a slight psychological advantage, given what patients tell me is a very realistic smoking experience—but not too realistic, as noted above.  Interestingly enough, the LOGIC brand seems to be the best-selling one in New York City, perhaps because of these factors.
There is certainly controversy about whether electronic cigarettes are harmless.  Critics note that they do, of course, contain nicotine (which is the whole idea, after all).  And critics have also found other substances in the vapor released by electronic cigarettes—even cancer-causing substances, but in tiny, tiny amounts that proponents of the devices claim would have no negative effect on well-being at all.
What no one seems to argue about is that electronic cigarettes—from LOGIC or Blu or any leading brand—are not nearly as dangerous as smoking real cigarettes.  LOGIC claims its device avoids 4,000 toxins that are found in cigarettes.
Given my experiences and those of numerous clinicians I have spoken with, it would seem to be a good time to conduct large scale clinical trials in which patients who smoke are given electronic cigarettes by their doctors, encouraged to use them and then quizzed on their use of real tobacco weeks and months and years later.  If the data generated support the product, then it may be wise for medical insurance companies to offer electronic cigarettes to smokers for free.  My bet is they would save lots of money—from the costs of treating heart disease and cancer—down the road.

 Leonardo DiCaprio lights up an electronic cigarette to get his nicotine fix on film set

He reportedly tried to help friend Robert Pattinson quit smoking at the end of last year.
And Leonardo DiCaprio is seemingly becoming an expert at quitting the bad habit himself as he was spotted puffing on an electronic cigarette on the set of his new movie.
The actor – who is filming The Wolf of Wall Street – could be seen with the nifty device in his hand as he sat inside an eatery in East Harlem, New York.




Leo seemed in good spirits in between recording scenes at Rao's Restaurant, smiling as he got his nicotine fix in a healthier way than using a normal cigarette. The star happily blew out rings of smoke between takes while filming on his last day for new movie.

The 38-year-old was dressed in a suit which he wore a blue shirt and red tie under.

He also hung on to the electronic cigarette as he traipsed the streets in the more casual ensemble of loose blue jeans and a maroon jumper.

Hopefully his Twilight star friend has had the same will power with trying to give up the bad habit himself.

Robert has been close with him since Leo reached out following his Kristen Stewart cheating scandal, asking if he wanted to party.

He was also seen smoking the same thing last May on the set of DJango Unchained.

Unfortunately for him, he plays the role of chain-smoking villain Calvin Candie in the Quentin Tarantino film so it must have been a hard battle between tasting the real thing.

DiCaprio plays a deranged plantation owner in the movie which is about a man trying to rescue his wife from the hands of Leo’s character.

It also stars other big names including Samuel L. Jackson, Sacha Baron Cohen and Kurt Russell.

Big Tobacco Is Ready

Want to Quit Smoking? – Big Tobacco Is Ready

If you vowed to stop smoking in 2013, Big Tobacco won't be caught off guard. The industry is quickly moving into the manufacturing and sale of electronic cigarettes, a business which Bonnie Herzog at Wells Fargo said brought in $400 million to $500 million in sales in 2012 and will "at least" double in 2013.

"We're actually predicting that consumption of e-cigs could surpass consumption of traditional cigarettes in the next decade," she said. The technology used in making these tobacco-free, battery-powered products is increasingly making them more lifelike.

"I'm a smoker and I could not quit smoking," said John Cameron, brother of Oscar winning director James Cameron.
About the time James was releasing "Avatar," John decided to get healthy. He took his first puff of an e-cigarette and got hooked. Now he's CEO of Safecig, an e-cigarette company.

"I can tell you that this is a revolutionary product. It will change the human race," he said. "It will change our relation to technology. It will change our relation to addiction."
Safecig uses technology and components which Cameron said are often found in cellphones. These help recreate the look, heat, taste, smell, and feel of smoking tobacco. Even the packaging mimics a regular pack of cigarettes. But instead of "smoking," users inhale liquid nicotine heated into a vapor, without tobacco or tar.

Why bother, when you can buy nicotine gum or patches? Often it's hard to quit because smokers miss the act of smoking. "It's probably 60 to 70 percent — the experience," Cameron said.
Other brands in the space include Njoy and Vapor Corp., which trades as a penny stock. China-based Joyetech has been a pioneer in electronic cigarettes, but as rivals began multiplying last year, the company filed suit against ten American firms, including Safecig, alleging patent violations.

E-Cigarettes to Help you Quit Smoking in 2013

With New Year right at our door step, many of us are making new resolutions to be fulfilled in the coming year. For those who aim to quit smoking, e-cigarettes are a good deal.

Quitting smoking or any kind of addiction is not really easy. It requires lots of efforts, power, changes in lifestyle and get adapted to daily doings without seeking help of cigarette. However, there is good news for the smokers who always wanted to quit smoking but were not able to do so.

E-cigarette will help you to quit smoking habit in a much better way. Studies suggest that risks linked to the Electronic cigarettes are much lower than that of smoking. Another study carried out by the American Association of Public Health Physicians asserted that it can help in saving about four million people from the tobacco-related sickness in coming twenty years.

Its basic ingredients are propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, the natural flavors, and nicotine. It's comparatively cleaner and isn't toxic at all. It will also help non-smokers escape the second-hand smoke as vaporizes the smoke and eliminates all the smell.

"I definitely enjoy it. When I come down here it's kind of an irritant and your clothes kind of smell. It's usually just a hassle", said Daniel Weatherby, a resident and non-smoker from Morgantown.

Electronic cigarettes challenge anti-smoking

A new TV advert for a brand of electronic cigarettes marks the first time in decades cigarettes of any sort have been promoted on US television. Anti-smoking campaigners fear the rapid growth of tobacco-free cigarettes could undermine years of successful anti-smoking efforts.

A handsome actor poses and struts on a beach in a stylishly shot black-and-white television spot. He puts the cigarette to his lips, takes a puff, and exhales a rich flume.
"Blu lets me enjoy smoking without it affecting the people around me, because it's vapour not tobacco smoke," says Stephen Dorff, the scruffy heartthrob star of The Immortals.

"We're all adults here, it's time we take our freedom back."
The launch this autumn of the advert for blu eCigs marks a turning point in the fast-growing US market for electronic cigarettes, which use an electronic mechanism to warm a liquid nicotine solution and release mist into the lungs.Most living Americans had never before seen a cigarette advertised on television - they were banned in 1971.But the electronic cigarettes fall outside that law, since they contain no tobacco. That is just one way they fall into what one anti-smoking campaigner calls a regulatory "no man's land".
Electronic cigarettes have exploded in popularity in the US since they first appeared on the market in 2007. Blu is just one brand, with NJOY, SmokeAnywhere, JoyeTech, and many more also available

The taste is better than real cigarettes and you don't disturb people because it doesn't smell.

You can smoke inside in public places. I smoke in restaurants, I smoke in bars. I even ended up smoking in the subway.

I think it's healthier - it doesn't give you cancer. I smoked some [tobacco] cigarettes on one night three weeks ago, and I was disgusted by it, actually

Quit Smoking 101

If you’re looking to quit smoking, then you’ve found the right place. Chances are you’ve tried products like a nicotine patch, lozenges among many others and have failed. If you really want to quit smoking and eager to learn, keep reading, please? (If begging you is what it takes for you to quit smoking, consider it done!)

The Addiction

When I used to smoke, I only knew that I was addicted to tobacco cigarettes and that’s it. Little did I know, I was addicted to much more. If you’re a tobacco cigarette smoker, then here’s a list of what you’re addicted to.

4,000+ Chemicals
Nicotine
The act of blowing smoke from your mouth
The act of inhaling smoke
The act of holding a cigarette
The act of placing a cigarette to your mouth
The taste
The reason it’s so hard for smokers to quit smoking is because they’re addicted to a cigarette is so many ways. Not only do you have to remove yourself from the many chemicals that make up a tobacco cigarette, but you also have to deal with not doing something you’ve made a part of your life for so long.

Trial & Error

If you’re serious about quitting smoking, then I’m sure you’ve tried other ways of tobacco harm reduction. There are many products like lozenges and patches, including other means by undergoing acupuncture and even hypnosis. Though it is great that you’re persistent  this trial and error tends to result in failure. There isn’t anything wrong with the trial and error to quit smoking, but the best advice anyone can give you is research thoroughly before taking action.

Becoming Aware

To get an edge on the process to quit smoking is becoming aware of your surroundings. And, not to make you feel bad or anything, but look at those around you that have to deal with your habit on a daily basis or even on occasion. Once you’ve completely removed yourself from tobacco cigarettes you’ll become a bit more aware and find yourself saying “I can’t believe I used to smoke!”. Remember, this is your habit and none of your family, friends, co-workers and other bystanders asked to deal with it. To someone who isn’t a smoker, you smell like burnt chemicals and the smoke coming from your cigarette smells horrible and is very offensive (in my opinion). A bit blunt, but this is something you need to be aware of.

The Want

In order to quit smoking, you must have the want to quit smoking. Saying you’re going to quit is easy, but really and truly wanting to quit is what will push you through the journey. To quit smoking it takes a lot of dedication, will power and most of all… the want.

Discover Electronic Cigarettes

After you’ve tried many other tobacco harm reduction products, you’ll soon discover electronic cigarettes, especially now more than ever. Electronic Cigarettes have become very popular even with big tobacco companies, one being Lorillard (makers of Newport), who has recently purchased blu Ecigs. First off, Electronic Cigarettes is what finally did it for me. I’m satisfying all my addictions excluding the 4000+ harmful chemicals that are in tobacco cigarettes. I’ve now been using electronic cigarettes for almost 2 years now and not once have I picked up a tobacco cigarette nor needed anything else to crave my nicotine addiction. E-Cigs have no foul oder and contains no harmful toxins or carcinogens. I could go on and on about electronic cigarettes, but the best thing to do is to discover them yourself.

Quit Smoking

Now that you’ve read what you’re addicted to, how people around you feel about it, some things you may go through to quit, having the want and discovering electronic cigarettes, the next step for you is to… quit smoking. Good luck on your journey.

Blinded by Ideology

Anti-Smoking Advocates are Widely Misleading the Public into Thinking that Electronic Cigarette Use is a Form of Smoking

In BBC News article about electronic cigarettes, anti-smoking advocates from three leading national tobacco control organizations are misleading the public into thinking that vaping is a form of smoking and that electronic cigarette use is essentially the acceptance of, and adoption of smoking.

According to the article, here are the reactions of three of the leading national tobacco control organizations to the emergence and skyrocketing growth of the electronic cigarette market:

Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights

"'It feels like what they're trying to do is re-establish a norm that smoking is okay, that smoking is glamorous and acceptable,' says Cynthia Hallett, executive director of Americans for Non-Smokers' Rights."

American Legacy Foundation

"The blu advert stokes the spirit of rebellion that appealed to smokers when they first started as adolescents, says David Abrams, executive director of the Schroeder Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies at Legacy, an anti-tobacco organisation. This time around, instead of defying parents and teachers, the ad encourages smokers to rebel against more recent anti-smoking social norms. 'They're capitalising on that with adult smokers by basically saying 'don't let society tell you what to do',' Abrams says. 'You have the freedom to smoke. Thumb your nose at the anti-smoking policies and the FDA.'"

The Rest of the Story

What all three of these national tobacco control organizations apparently fail to understand is that using electronic cigarettes is not smoking. On the contrary, it is avoiding the use of cigarettes. The overwhelming reason why smokers are turning to electronic cigarettes is because they want to reduce or eliminate the number of cigarettes that they smoke. Every time a vaper uses an electronic cigarette, he or she is passing up an opportunity to smoke. By definition, using electronic cigarette use reduces cigarette use. Far from promoting smoking, advertisements that promote electronic cigarette use are urging smokers not to smoke -- but to switch to electronic cigarettes instead.

In fact, the emergence and growth of electronic cigarettes is not a boon to cigarette smoking, it is a serious threat. To successfully market electronic cigarettes, companies need to get smokers to switch away from smoking and towards vaping. Electronic cigarettes are primarily designed for smoking cessation or cigarette use reduction. In the first clinical trial of these products, 54% of smokers who were unmotivated to quit were successful in either quitting smoking completely or cutting down on their smoking by more than half.

In exactly what way does the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, and American Legacy Foundation consider this tremendous reduction in smoking to be a rebellion against the idea of not smoking and an encouragement of smokers to continue to smoke.

Nothing could be further from the truth. It's exactly the opposite of what each of these three organizations is saying.

How could these organizations be lying to the public in such a blatant manner?

The answer appears to be ideology.

Each of these three anti-smoking organizations appears to be blinded by an ideology that defines smoking as going through the hand motions associated with holding and smoking a cigarette, regardless of whether the person is actually smoking. Apparently, even if the person has quit smoking completely, she is still smoking if she goes through the hand motions.

Are these organizations really committed to saving lives, or are they just trying to prevent hand motions? Sadly, it appears that it is the hand motions that are bothering them. We can't have those hand motions going on that look like smoking. Even if those hand motions are saving hundreds of lives by getting smokers off of a product that may well kill them.

Electronic cigarettes are safer than tobacco

I can't help but feel that the letter published Dec. 4 about electronic cigarettes and the writer's belief that they should be banned indoors is a bit unfair, uninformed and downright incorrect. I feel it my duty, as an avid user of electronic cigarettes, to not let the community fall into the trend of allowing misunderstanding to become fear. There have been multiple studies done on the subject of electronic cigarette vapor safety and the safety of its second-hand vapor. All of the studies done so far have supported the idea that not only are electronic cigarettes safer than conventional tobacco products but, in fact, may pose no health risk at all to the user as well as others in the room.

Electronic cigarettes do not utilize combustion to produce vapor. They heat a liquid comprised of vegetable glycerin (I guarantee you are within 50 feet of a product containing vegetable glycerin as you read this), propylene glycol (used in the medical field for non-water soluble medications and in respiratory treatments for decades upon decades) and flavoring that have been used in foods as well as electronic cigarettes.

If you read through these articles and the studies they are talking about (links are in the articles), you'll find that not only are the amounts of nicotine and other chemicals not harmful to bystanders, but that they were, in fact, immeasurable by the instruments used to conduct the studies.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1600-0668.2012.00792.x/abstract

I also feel that it is simply incorrect, let alone unfairly biased toward unfair views of electronic cigarettes, to refer to the second-hand vapor as "smoke." It is not smoke. There is no burning. There is no fire. What you put into an electronic cigarette is exactly what you get out.

Nicotine in and of itself is not harmful. It is actually a fairly mild cousin of caffeine. The only real negative affect of nicotine is its addiction potential. which, in tobacco products such as cigarettes, is increased due to MAOIs produced through the combustion of some of the thousands of chemicals in tobacco smoke. Electronic cigarettes are, as far as the studies show us so far, about as dangerous as drinking a cup of coffee in a humid room.

I hope you take the time to read this and really look into the studies and articles I've provided you. The amount of negative coverage about electronic cigarettes lately makes me absolutely infuriated. It is unfair for these factually incorrect, ignorant claims to be circulated while the media does its best to ignore all of the positive aspects of electronic cigarettes which are, as you may have guessed, actually true. We can't say for sure, at this point, that electronic cigarettes are 100 percent safe, but they can never be as bad as tobacco. Leading people to believe that tobacco is the preferable option to electronic cigarettes will cost millions of lives, and it's up to people like me and other electronic cigarette users to stand up to all of this negativity.

Ecig Useful as Smoking Cessation Aid

Aug. 28, 2012 (Munich, Germany) -- Electronic cigarettes do not appear to be bad for your heart, according to the first study to look at the effects of smoking e-cigarettes on heart function.

The devices -- battery-powered metal cartridges that simulate the effect of smoking by heating nicotine-containing liquid into vapor -- can be helpful to smokers trying to kick the habit, says researcher Konstantinos Farsalinos, MD, of the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center in Athens, Greece.

"Considering the hazards associated with cigarette smoking, currently available data suggest that electronic cigarettes are far less harmful, and substituting tobacco with electronic cigarettes may be beneficial to health," he says.

Speaking here at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, Farsalinos acknowledges that the study was short and small -- only 22 people were studied immediately before and after using the devices.

Another small study shows that e-cigarettes may have short-term harmful effects on lung function, he says.

Many more people have to be studied for much longer before any firm conclusions can be made about the safety of electronic cigarettes, Farsalinos says.

Still, e-cigarettes are the only smoking cessation aids that satisfy both sides of addiction: the chemical craving for nicotine and "the psychological addiction that comes from having something in your hand, lighting it, and inhaling and exhaling it," he says. "Preliminary studies show this [two-pronged attack] helps people to quit."

Polish survey

Polish survey of e-cigarette users finds 66% no longer smoke

A Polish study, "Patterns of electronic cigarette use and user beliefs about their safety and benefits: An Internet survey," was published online in the Drug and Alcohol Review. According to the abstract, the "objective of this study was to investigate patterns and effects of e-cigarette use and user beliefs about e-cigarette safety and benefits."

"The survey was completed by 179 e-cigarette users. Almost all participants used e-cigarettes daily. E-cigarettes were primarily used to quit smoking or to reduce the harm associated with smoking (both 41%), and were successful in helping the surveyed users to achieve these goals with 66% not smoking conventional cigarettes at all and 25% smoking under five cigarettes a day. Most participants (82%) did not think that e-cigarettes were completely safe, but thought that they were less dangerous than conventional cigarettes. Sixty percent believed that e-cigarettes were addictive, but less so than conventional cigarettes."

The same researcher, Maciej Lukasz Goniewicz, also recently published a survey study on Polish youth and young adult use, "Electronic Cigarette Use Among Teenagers and Young Adults in Poland," in the PEDIATRICS journal. Researchers report that about "one-fifth of Polish youth have tried e-cigarettes; most of them had previously smoked cigarettes. It is unclear whether e-cigarettes are just a novelty that young people try only once or whether they have potential to compete in the marketplace with conventional cigarettes." Only 3.2% of those who had never smoked reported trying e-cigarettes.

WHO reported the 2010 Global Adult Tobacco Survey found that the smoking rate for adults 15 years and older in Poland is 28%.

E-Cigarettes as Christmas Gifts

E-Cigarettes as Christmas Gifts

From a marketing standpoint every product or service available today makes a good Christmas gift. But in reality, some products are just better than others. The e-cigarette is a great example. It is a gift that not only has the potential of changing someone's life forever; it's also one that clearly demonstrates the giver is truly concerned about the receiver.

That dynamic between giver and receiver may be one of the reasons why "electronic cigarettes" are so welcomed as gifts. And for the smoker who has everything in life he wants, the e-cigarette gives him the chance to potentially enjoy those things longer through the elimination of tobacco smoke from his life. Not to encourage a person to smoke but knowing your love one is unable to quit smoking, offering a better alternative might be a good idea. E-cigarettes are truly an amazing gift idea unparalleled by anything else.
