How to buy electronic cigarettes

If you're a smoker looking to cut down on smoke inhalation and you'd like to try electronic cigarettes as a smoking alternative, you can purchase a variety of ecigarettes from me.

This post, is specifically about the Green Smoke electronic cigarette because I want to offer readers one of the electronic cigarettes that is climbing upward very rapidly in the market.

To purchase, simply follow my link below. Fill out a user's account so that if you enjoy the Green Smoke product(s) you purchase, future purchases will be convenient and simple.

Don't worry - the link will open in a new window.

After opening this link/window, look to the top-right of the page where it says "register," and go ahead and fill out the form so that you'll have ease of navigation when you return to the site, perhaps to browse articles or re-order products. There are a LOT of excellent articles and videos on-site, both informational ones about how ecigarettes work and also user testimonials, so you'll probably want to view these.

My name is Tracy Lewis and my representative name should be at the top left, almost at the middle of the page before you register. My name should be displayed along the same general line as the register button, so you shouldn't have a problem locating it.

Depressing the banner above will take you to my representative page where you can register, but will also take you away from the blog. If you'd rather stay on the blog and browse, just scroll up a bit to use the link instead of the banner.

Don't forget to comment so I can add you to both my blogspot/regular email address book and have you in my Green Smoke records.

Reminder: Not Smoking Cessation Devices

Just a reminder for those who are thiking that electronic cigarettes are the end-all solution for smoking addiction:

North American FDA boards have not approved these items with the label of 'smoking cessation' devices. Though some - not all, but some - electronic cigarette models have been found to contain minute traces of carcinogens, the amount of these is much less than found in normal cigarette smoke.

It seems the most sticky point the FDA boards are concerned with are these trace amounts of carginogens. Therefore, they have mostly allowed electronic cigarettes to be sold and purchased in most North American, UK and various worldwide locations - with the strict rule that people DO NOT officially report that these items are smoking cessation tools or try to tell people that these are FDA approved items for smoking cessation.

I have already written that, in my opinion, these items can be used in a harm reduction program and even a smoking cessation program but I've had to be careful to assert that this is my opinion, "not according to the FDA" or that this is my opinion and eCigarettes still shouldn't be considered smoking cessation devices all on their own.

To read my approved article at the Health Mad site:

Ecigarettes: Not Smoking Cessation Devices

This article provides more information on why e-smokes aren't allowed to be considered smoking cessation devices and THE REAL TRUTH about the fact that, with these items, users are still "smoking."

As an electronic cigarette seller/representative, I am taking every extra effort to be clear on this matter, and I hope that readers will take care to note the more than occasional disclaimers I write.

Crush Your Craving Game

Upon browsing the Nicorette site further, I found a shooter game, playable right from your brower. It's likely designed to just keep you busy for a few extra moments so you drag out the time between smokes...something like that.

Which is what it did for me.

The site's not specifically called "The Nicorette Site," but it's got Nicorette gum information and houses a Smoking Reduction Plan, this game and other tips for quitting smoking.

Here's an actual Nicorette website:

Nicorette website, with a claim on it, "For every cigarette there's a nicorette." Cute...I suppose.

And here's the Nicorette range of products:

Nicorette Products. I wasn't aware there were so many products, as I usually see smoking cessation products at the pharmacy or other stores and they're often split up, different types of 'tools' and products on different shelves where I'm from. So the gums are usually a whole shelf of gums...inhalers in a different spot.

Here, there are tablets/lozenges, patches, gum, and an inhaler product. There's also a 'combination' package available with a variety of the products I just listed.

The "Reduce To Quit" site links directly off the Nicorette site, so it's probably managed and operated by Nicorette.

Anyway, back to the game.

It's a pretty neat little game where you "Crush The Craving" or Crush YOUR Craving for a cigarette.

Here's the instructions page

And here's the game - it starts as soon as you're on the page
Best of Luck!

You have to compensate for distance and things like that, so the game is a little bit challenging, to say the least.

Enjoy!

Nicorette's Reduce To Quit Quiz

I've been browsing around the web for smoking and quit smoking links. I came across this neat quiz by the company, Nicorette:


"My Smoking Reduction Plan" page. This is a quiz for people preparing to quit smoking and is a quiz about "what kind of smoker are you?"

There are questions to answer about when you smoke/first cigarette of the day, whether or not your friends are also smokers, how much nicotine your current cigarette brand has in it, and what you believe might be the most important part of a 'quit smoking' plan.

Smokers and Dirty Looks

Unfortunately, even those smokers who are trying to butt out but haven't quite kicked the habit are often thrown dirty looks. If a smoker is 'caught' smoking somewhere - even out of doors - then usually these derogatory glances are from non-smokers and sometimes - with fair reason.

Non-smokers are often very sensitive to the smell and presence of tobacco smoke. They've made it more than clear over the years that smoking bothers them. Some people are highly allergic to smoke, and these people might also throw a dirty look or side-ways negative glance at a smoker.

It's true - tobacco smoke is harmful. Plain and simple. It's harmful to both smokers and non-smokers.

However - tobacco smoke is also addictive and often smokers are unable to deal well with this addiction, even when they realize they wish to stop smoking. There's simply more to quitting smoking than not doing it anymore.

For those who have trouble quitting smoking, therapy might be in order, a sort of re-training of behaviors to replace smoking with a better habit. This is complicated stuff, not just like putting your left foot into your shoes first when you usually start with your right foot on a daily basis.

Sometimes, a doctor needs to be involved - along with nicotine patch prescriptions and other 'tools' for quitting smoking.

Needless to say, until there comes along a really fast and easy method for quitting smoking - and until we come to days where people are so universally informed about the dangers of smoking that they're not willing to start smoking in the first place, there will always be dirty looks from the non-smokers.
