I have been "vaping" these for about 4 weeks, and since then, I have smoked a total of 4 packs of cigarettes, down from a pack-pack and a half a day habit. The active ingredient is nicotine in the liquid, BUT the percentage of it is minute compared to the amount of propelyene glycol, which is the same thing used for smoke machines at any venue or theater, and is safe. I have also SAVED money on getting my nicotine... it runs about 1/3 as much as a pack a day habit here in WV (with $3.05 Pall Malls) over the course of a month.
The best benefit, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is how I feel. As FW Johnson said, he feels much better, and so do I; because there isn't tar, or chemicals, or anything BURNING, I don't have any of the negative side effects of cigarettes, but do get my "fix" of nicotine. I breathe easier, I smell scents better, I dont smell like cigarettes, and my taste buds are growing back. I'm amazed at the difference it has made in my health and general feeling of well-being. In addition, I talked my bosses into letting me "vape" inside at work, so I am more productive and get more done, instead of taking 5 minutes of every hour for a smoke break.
