My e-cig: My journey of "healthy" addictions...

Nice short awesome blog.  Recently a co-worker recommended a certain e-cigarette; one out of many that he had did research on, so I figured I hadn't had much to lose.  Things have been going fairly well in my life so I guess the next thing on my agenda is to work on my health.  So, here are the vitals on the e-cig that I chose that's been helping me keep off of tobacco.

Company: South Beach Smoke
Types of E-Cigs: Deluxe and Premium (I have the Deluxe, which needs no maintenance other than charging the battery.

Pros: 
- BBB (Better Business Bureau) accredited business with an A- rating as of right now.
- 10 Flavors 
- Low Mainentance
- Vapor, no tar and crap from tobacco in here

Cons:
- Though the cartridges last a few days (for me), I don't think they last as long as the website says they do.

Now, I'm letting people know up front, I'm no scientist.  So, I am not by any means saying this is an end all be all way to quit cigarettes or that it is a risk free alternative.  I did my research online and in the library and learned about the effects that Nicotine has on the body.  My concern really lies in making sure that I'm eliminating the majority of garbage that is in tobacco related cigarettes.

So, as of today, I have been smoke free for about 2 weeks now.  Honestly, for me the e-cigarette helps me get rid of the craving that I have to smoke in my car.  I started smoking in my car while I was in college at UWM, so it gave me a cleaner alternative to smoking in my car when I'm on my way to DJ over the weekends.  So, at the end of the day, I really would recommend this company to someone that wants to try e-cigarettes as a healthier alternative to smoking.  It may not help you stop smoking but it did reduce the urge for me,  the flavors are good that the vapor is very close to the sensation that you get from smoking regular cigarettes.  So, if you're looking to stop soon, check out the www.southbeachsmoke.com site.  I give it my seal of approval.

If you guys have any questions about my personal experience with e-cigs, feel free to message me and i'll reply.
