I can't tell if you understand that nicotinic acid is a neurotransmitter, absorbed and created by every healthy human brain. It's involved in virtually every cognitive function, and you'd be fucked with too little or too much. Cigarettes, and all other synthetic nicotine vehicles, are similar to cocaine and Dopamine.
Why one's legal and possession of the other is a felony, I'll never understand.

But the e-cig folks are not real smokers anyway. Real smokers, the disgusting ones like me, aren't satisfied by anything other than hot, charred, blackened lungs, and the lightheaded feeling of "not greatness but not badness" that comes from sucking down burning toxins. The e-cigs do nothing for me, and I use lozenges or patches if I'm not at home.
No... They're social smokers (or chronic douchebags) who go days without cigarettes, until Friday night roles around, and they make a big show out of their big fat dumbass metal "fister" e-cig (white kids who wish Sublime was still together (rip brad!!!), or their slim e-"fags" (also white college kids who enjoy the feeling of fitted black jeans and Converse, and usually study art at a community college or play in a band they never actually play with) -- Where was I? Oh yeah-- IN PUBLIC, because they want someone to stop them so they can argue their rights.
Fucking wastes of flesh. Either smoke a fucking blunt (group 1) or man up and become a stressed out, pack-a-day hemorrhoid suffering MAN like the rest of us! I go to great pains to decrease my smoking, and wear patches when I'm in public, because doing classless shit is classless, no matter how novel it is, or how much you like the Sharper Image. Also, does nobody remember why smoking caught on in the first place? Because it looked fucking awesome (thank you James Dean, Mad Men, Beat Generation writers at Colombia U); not because it looked like a bunch of fucking bullshit!
E cig smokers are like grown up Nintendo DS players.... irritating for reasons that I obviously can't sum up very well.
