Smoke and Vapor

The E cigarette thing is odd. Every time I see someone with an e cigarette or vapor cigarette, they seem to have this attitude. There is something that comes off them that is defiant. If you said you couldn't smoke one someplace I think they would immediately say that they "aren't smoking. It's water vapor."

The way it is held is odd too. It's more like a small flute they are ashamed to be carrying around than a cigarette. It seems they are trying to hide it so there isn't a confrontation, but they are defensive.

I don't know if the health consequences are lessened by vapor as opposed to smoke, but nicotine is not a good thing to be sucking on. I don't think it actually helps people who smoke quit smoking. It seems just to be a transition of addictions. Don't you get more nicotine this way? Without the cancer causing smoke?

It will be interesting to see what happens with laws regarding this smoking technology. Is it really a civil liberties thing? We let people kill themselves in lots of ways. Why restrict a new one?

Humans are curious things...
