Electronic cigarettes, anyone? The Ikarus v2

[cgipson1]

Why is talking about smoking or showing a smoking related product considered illegal?

I really don't understand why is smoking so much of a big deal now a days, especially when compared to drugs! I see anti smoking campaigns more than anti drug. Also, my friend was in a weed bar in Amsterdam then he lit a cigarette the waiter came and said it is not allowed, only smoking weed is allowed and it is drugs!

Regarding the photo, I really like it and makes me like want to have it

It not illegal, yet! Hopefully one of these days!

Shooting up only hurts the junkie... smoking hurts everyone around that can even smell that crap! If someone wants to do drugs.. fine, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Can't say that about smoking!

You must be a smoker! Yea.. make it look like a cool toy, and attract even younger kids... that is the idea, after all! Get them addicted young, and you will have addict consumers for life, right?

I have to admit I am a smoker, and I am not proud. I tried quitting several times and I will quit some time soon..

Excuse my ignorance, I agree a cigarette smoke might hurt others when inhaled.. but everything around us hurt also, cars, paint, glue, deodorant etc.. But compared to drugs, yes when taking it he only hurt himself, but he will loose his money and job because of that, then become a criminal.. steals money for drugs and food, then he becomes a real criminal..

I never heard that a smoker killed for the sake of a cigarette but you see tens of movies on how drug addicts become real murderers and criminals..

I am not asking people to smoke, I admit it is wrong.. but people are becoming so racist against smokers while taking it easy on more important stuff.. It is only an opinion and i don't mean to open a war with anti smokers..

My main point was the even a six year old kid can legally buy these things... they are not yet regulated. And to get addicted at that young of an age... it leads to other things... like looking for a bigger "high". There are statistics that support that... no matter how much some want to deny it.

I am against drug abuse too.. it is, however.. illegal! Here at least. But these things are DRUG ABUSE also... and not illegal. Nicotine is a drug, just like heroin... and even more addictive.

As to the stuff that is already in the air.. that we have to breathe? Why add to it? Especially with something so noxious, and carcinogenic? Why do that to the people around you?

I agree.. those stuff should be regulated and never sold to kids!

For me i dont smoke indoors, nor in the car.. but leave me alone when i smoke far outside

It is an incredibly hi-tech and overcomplicated compared to what I have seen ..

You know... I've been smoking cigarettes since 1971, I was 9 years old when I started, smoking a pipe in since 1980 and took up cigars soon after that. I know it's bad for me, will shorten my life and all the other stuff that is constantly being force fed to us. The bottom line is I love the smell of burning tobacco, it's my favorite incense, I leave cigarettes burning in ashtrays in every room, smoke a cigar with my morning coffee and a pipe with my evening tea (or scotch). A friend of mines grandmother was diagnosed with cancer at the age of ninety, when the doctor told her she should stop smoking, she looked at the doctor and said "Kid I've been smoking since before your parents where born, I'm 90 years old and am going to die, why the hell would I give up something I enjoy now?

E cigs do not work for me, they do not taste the same, smell the same or have the same effect, it's basically very harsh vapor...I don't like it.

Ok. Enough of that, guys. All I wanted was to get your comments on the lighting, shadows, and highlights of the photo. I was not advertising anything here. Thanks all.
