Pardon me for bumping an old thread but yeah it doesn't surprise me that the government would be against a product that they don't currently reap taxes on. That on top of the big tobacco lobbying dollars telling everybody that E-cigarettes are bad. Both my g/f and myself have quit smoking using E-cigs and haven't had any adverse affects from using them for well over a year. If you've ever been thinking of trying them, now is a good time since Vapor4Life is having their 20% off sale (use JuiceCarts24 for the coupon code):

I'd recommend the V4L Vapor King or Joye510 units. Much higher quality than the ubiquitous "Blu" eCig. LiIon batteries last for days, and really really good atomization of the flavor cartridges. Very consistent performance and feels like a traditional cig when inhaling.
