Federal health officials Wednesday unveiled plans to require cigarette packs and ads to carry dramatically bigger, much more graphic health warnings, including for the first time images that might depict dead bodies, cancer patients and diseased lungs.
So the guy in the White House will stop smoking now?

When are they going to require graphic images be posted in abortion clinics?  Abortion is more of a guaranteed killer than smoking is.

I quit smoking name brand Cigs because of all of the additives, especially that self-extinguishing crap. Even though I still smoke tobacco, I'm no longer having the lung problems I was.

Thor, Hubby and I raided the house and storage sheds for forgotten change in jars and bottles  to buy those Electronic cigarettes.   

We have had them for 3-4 weeks now and they are an experience, to buy the original kit with battery charger holding case 3 boxes of nicotine carterages and a spar battery,  is well worth the price.

The device looks and feels like a real filtered cigarette, the end lights up same way a cigarette will when inhaled on.  That is not smoke that one exhales, it is pure water vapor and one is delivered pure nicotine with only .002 % of the 4000 carcinogens in a normal pack of Cigarettes.

Each carterage has the nicotine content of a pack of normal cigarettes and cost about .90 cents each.  No more coughing and pulling up Flem in the AM, no more tobacco smell on clothing or in the house carpets and drapes.  No more ashtrays to empty and clean, no worry about a butt starting a fire in the garbage or falling asleep smoking one. No more cigarette lighters that kids can get ahold of, or burning a child or pet that jumps on you when you have a cigarette in your hand.  My smell has come back and food tasts better.

Where Hubby works there is a no smoking policy on company property, not even in the parking lots or cars parked there.

The day after we bought our E-C's Hubby went into HR and showed the head Honcho the divice , he then went to his top boss and showed him the divice. 

At lunch that day we had a huge down poor, the die hard smokers spent 30 minutes in the cold wet miserable weather, Hubby sat in the Cafeteria drinking coffee and smoking his E-C, warm and dry to the shock of most everyone.

Money saved---you do the math, a pack of cigarettes a day here costs about $5.00. a carterage with the same amount of nicotine costs .90 cents in this area.   $50.00 a carton a week vs, $6.00 a week for the carterages.-----$24.00 a month for carterages VS. $200.00 a month for 4 cartons.  When two people in the family smoke, one could buy a car for the yearly cost.

Give them a try at the Mall, this is one company I would seriously consider investing in.
