    I just started using the ecig too.  I haven't had any kind of reaction to it other than I haven't needed a real cigarette in 24hrs. It does smell a little like a fog machine, but I think most people would rather smell that than the tobacco. I'd love to see someone do some real studies. This could be a real help for those of us that smoke and I'm sorry, but the alternatives just don't cut it. It may be politically (and medically) correct to say just stop smoking, the reality if far different.

      Wow, funny that both you guys mentioned a 'fog machine'.  Another article noted that they contained propelyne glycol, the liquid used in fog machines.  It's unsure whether it's safe to inhale, but I don't see haunted house workers and concert special effects teams hacking up a lung.  So did you use one that had any flavoring to them or just a straight nicotine?  What brand was it? I was thinking of trying them out. The Blue e-cigarettes have different flavors, wondering if it covered up the nasty taste.
