Good. Feel free to leave. I think I'll try one of these e-cigarettes just to piss you ignorant people off. It'll be fun to "light up" in a restaurant and watch the fireworks. Hope you enjoyed your dinner, I know I did, now that I can "smoke" before, during and after the meal, once again. And there ain't a DAMN THING you can do about it. <br><br>If it's not burning, it's not emitting anything harmful into the air. You don't have to be smart to realize that, so I would think that even you assholes would be able to wrap your rather narrow heads around that fact. It's absolutely no different than if someone were chewing nicotine gum. Even the FDA says it's not a problem.<br><br>Have a great day!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Knuckles McGinty]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 5th 2009 12:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA["Even the FDA says it's not a problem."<br><br>Unfortunately, you couldn't be more wrong. The FDA is saying that electronic cigarettes area problem, and want to go so far as to ban them in the United States. They are already banned in Canada, China and Australia. I am a firm believer that the electronic cigarette holds the key to s safer smoking future for people, but a fact is a fact. Hopefully after further testing, the FDA will conclude that this is a viable option for smokers.<br><br>Johnny B<br>CEO, Halo Electronic Cigarette Company]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Johnny Blaze]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 25th 2009 1:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[I"m glad you enjoy your dinner, but how when you cant even taste it? If you feel better living your life to piss people off I feel sorry for you. And your water vapor cigarette isn't making anyone mad, but eventually you will go back to the real ones and embarrass yourself by the way you stink-and you don't even know it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Write an email    dptahoe1982]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 26th 2010 3:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[<br><br>  I don't know this is gonna look pretty stupid watching someone puff on something that does not look like a cigarette. Further more what is the purpose of this if your not shure restaurants or any other public place is going to let you use this in public. I could half way see the benifits of this if it was more healthy than cigareets. This may prove to be more hazardous to your health than regular cigaretts! Does this come with a warning lable about the causes of cancere like cigarettes?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ricky Ammons]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 19th 2007 1:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is just a prettier inhaler than the one that you can get from your Doctor with a prescription.

I worked for a research company that did a trial with a device like this from Phillip Morris.

I've tried to quite three times after 40 years of trashing my lungs.  Some things are just harder than others.  I will try again and again until I succeed, cigarettes stink, pollute the air, offend others, and on and on.  A REAL cure would probably be easily found if some of the profit from the cigarette companies were used soley to kick the habit.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sue Miller]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 20th 2007 1:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[with massive amounts of coal still being burned to produce electricity, plus the cancer causing gunk that laser jet printers put out into the air, along with gas and diesel emmissions, i think the worry about tobacco smoke is actually rather moot.  if people really knew the truth about this, they'd even start smoking themselves.  the anti-smoking campaign is just hooey based on chicken little people that love to feel superior and squash all smokers and treat them like lepers.  get the real facts on what buring coal does to the air we breathe, check on what worse lung cancer causing crap comes out of laser jet printers that are in all offices and in homes, check out the crud that diesel and gas emmissions have in them.  ...and these few are just at the top of the barrel, there's more top barrel items.  then there's the middle of the barrel.  then the bottom of the barrel where tobacco smoke sits.  learn how 16% of all smokers get lung cancer and also that 15% of all non smoker's get lung cancer too...and no, they don't get it from secondhand cigarette smoke.  people bought into this about smoking without any real true facts and the movement grew on falsehoods.  those of you that sit in traffic jams every day while on the road, don't you dare yell at me if i smoke a cigarette.  you've breathed in much more toxic cancer causing crap as you sucked exhaust fumes into your lungs than i could ever pump out of my lungs for you to breathe.  use your misguided ire on alcohol, this causes cancer more than tobacco smoke does plus it kills innocent people when a drunk gets behind the wheel.  by the way, i took a test listing when i started smoking, how many cigarettes i smoked a day, and it turned out that i will (might) lose one year of life due to it.  yes, i've been smoking for a long, long, long time too.  get any person stone drunk on alcohol, let them drive an auto, and lets see how quickly they can kill others on the road and also kill themselves.  leave smoker's alone and get on the back's of alcohol drinkers!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jossy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 20th 2007 1:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[smoking stinks.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mizbiz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 20th 2007 1:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[It'll look like you're sucking on a ball point pen!

Chicken little people that love to feel superior?  Hahahah, funny stuff.  I bet you smoke with the windows rolled up don't you stinky.  Do not try to justify your bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior, that doesn't work. Please smoke yourself to death asap.

They make more money because the fixes don't work, they're just a substitute addiction. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that the tobacco companies are behind all this bogus crap. Just quit. If you haven't got the guts to do that, well, personally I haven't the slightest bit of sympathy for you. Don't expect anybody to help you past the results of your gutlessness and stupidity. All they'll do is make more money off you.

To equate the deliberate inhalation of a burning substance laced with hundreds of chemicals and laced with things to make it more addictive and laser jet printers or automobiles speaks volumes about her stupidity. When was the last time you saw someone suck on the exhaust pipe of a car or run over the a laser printer every twenty minutes to get a hit?<br><br>Continue in your stupid addiction--one you were a fool to start--but don't compare apples to oranges.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lita]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 20th 2007 1:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[If the patches and gum were to be sold in single use packettes or 5 stick gum packs, perhaps the smokers, I am one, would be willing to dish out the daily cost. But coming up with 55.00 to 65.00 bucks every two weeks for 7-10 weeks is hard on the budget, Its just easier to shell out the 3.50 or so ofr the pack of cigs.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sheila]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 20th 2007 2:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[Jossy....<br><br>Great comment!

My grandfather and great uncles smoked all their lives - and they lived into their 90's!!  But they lived in the country, farmed, grew their own food - barely drived and never in traffic.  Never heard of a printer.  Cigarettes are being used as a "smoke screen" for what is really going on out there.<br>And nothing makes some people feel better than acting superior to others - "smokers are stupid, etc."  Read Jossy's remarks again - and try to understand it.  When no one in the land smokes your taxes will go up and I can't wait to see what the next thing will be that all these superior people go after.  Hope it's something they do and like.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kathy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 20th 2007 2:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[Lita has the right idea, just because you may believe it is better than drinking, you are still poisoning yourself with harmful chemicals and endagering others around you with that nasty stuff. There are other people out there other than yourselves that are allergic to smoke and you putting it in the air causes major health problems. I am glad to see they are banning it from most public places, it will make my day out a lot more pleasant. Finally, Kathy just imagine how much longer they would have lived if they had not smoked all that time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 20th 2007 4:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/19/the-electric-smokeless-cigarette/</guid><description><![CDATA[WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, NEED TO STAND UP AND SAY NO TO SMOKING!
