Welcome to E-Cigarette-Mart forum

Hello and welcome to the E-Cigarette-Mart, the first dedicated English-language forum for discussing all things e-cigarette!

Please register so you can take part in all the discussions on the e-cigarette-global forum. Registering only takes a minute and allows you to post on all the forums.

As I'm sure you'll already be aware, the e-cigarette is the latest development in smoke-free nicotine delivery market. It has been developed in China to replicate as closely as possible the experience of smoking tobacco, but without the 4000 or so harmful chemicals and carbon monoxide.

For many smokers, hudding outside in the cold to get their fix, the e-cigarette represents the first opportunity to escape public smoking bans now being rolled out across the globe. But how do non-smokers and venue owners treat e-smokers? Have you had any experiences in public, good or bad? Please discuss them in the E-Cigarette in Public forum.

So far, the e-cigarette is rather tricky to get hold of in most European countries. This is partly because of its novelty, and partly due its uncertain legal status. It appears that the only way for it to gain a CE license (as is required by law for any product of this type), it will have to be classed as a type 2 medical device. Please go to Law and the E-Cigarette for further discussion.

However, it is possible to get the e-cigarette online, but there are already a bewildering array of products and suppliers out there. Some are of better quality than others, and some are cheap rip-offs of the hi-tech originals. In the Reviews and Suppliers forums, we will get all the info you need to make an informed decision on which product to buy and from whom.

What health implications are there with the e-cigarette? Is it really as harmless as made out by the companies selling them? It is, after all, still delivering the highly addictive substance nicotine. But is that such a problem if the other chemicals are not present? Could this be the best thing to happen yet for those who simply cannot quit? Discuss it all in Health and the E-Cigarette.

Are you considering using the e-cigarette as part of a plan to wean yourself of nicotine? I'm sure many will, but is it likely to be a good method? Have you tried to use it this way? What were your experiences? All in the Quitting with the E-Cigarette forum.

Finally, the e-cigarette may not be for everyone - there are plenty of other smoking alternatives already on the market, with other high tech devices yet to come. The Other Smoking Alternatives section is your place to discuss everything non-e-cigarette, from NRT to snuss.

Yours kindly,
Bob
