Are their benefits to switching cigarettes for E-Cigarettes?
People who know me and how much I smoked hold me in high regard. I was a hardened smoker who if I wasn’t smoking a cigarette was busy rolling one instead. You have to admit that it is a really nasty shitty habit that grips you, literally till you drop dead.
Having swapped cigarettes for e-cigarettes I do feel like a government guinea pig. They seem to be lurking in the background wringing their hands as to what to do. It doesn’t seem that difficult to me;
-
Recognise that e-cigarettes are helping people stop smoking……for ever.
-
Appreciate that that in turn will save health authorities billions in the future.
-
Regulate what goes into e-liquids. None of us want to see any old rubbish put in our liquids. Regulation is a must.
-
Make it law that only over 18’s can use e-cigarettes. But also know that under 18’s will still smoke tobacco products just like they do now.
Being a guinea pig has been a risk. But one I have been very pleased to have taken as I feel there was no alternative for me. I can promise you that I would have smoked until I dropped; which could have been sooner rather than later given the way I was starting to feel.
For those smokers out there who still haven’t tried an e-cigarette, below are a few benefits I felt after the change. Hopefully, you will too.

What we saved from buying cigarettes, we used to rent a shop. That now makes €25k a year. So instead of spending €350 a week on cigarettes, we now make €25k a year with!!
