I started with them about 6 months ago, tried various brands and have settled on the Bleu-cigs for taste and smoke vapor. The disposables (which I use presently), are about $10 each at Walgreen’s and some other outlets. One lasts 2 to 3 days depending on much you use it. A regular cigarette lasts maybe 5 minutes, and a pack about a day for most people. So the cost is good.

The only drawback I’ve found is that the manufacturer could be more consistent with quality in that some last longer than others. But over all, very good.

The taste is really pretty comparable to a regular or menthol cigarette and there is enough smokeless vapor to blow rings if so desired - lol.

The cost is much less if you buy the kit and refills (www.bleucigs.com) but I haven’t done that yet.

Do not try Enjoy, or any of the really cheap brands from convenience and other stores — most have a terrible taste.

There is nothing positive about cigarette smoking. Nothing. Anything, including these commercials, that can persuade young people to never start or smokers to quit is a good thing. When I think of all the things government wastes money on, this is not one of them.

You have no idea if they don’t work. I heard a statistic about two weeks ago that the hotline for people to call to quit jumped by like 50 percent after these commercials started airing. I do agree with the other poster who brought up AIDS though. Why don’t they show commercials about that as well?

I enjoy these commercials generally while watching Paula Deen. It's amazing how boring these gory images can get after you watch them a few times.

Love your post, Jeff! Seriously - give up the smokes but protect smokers’ rights. As always, this is a complicated idea, so, of course, the left-wing hypochondriacs can’t comprehend it.

Sorry, I haven’t watched commercial television in years and as a result I just never see ads. They’re a form of mental assault. Once you “quit the habit” you’ll never want to go back.

I’m sure you are another militant smoker, like my mother WAS. Of course, that was when she had two lungs with which to harass people.

Nope. Not a smoker. Simply don’t want any nanny state statist telling me what to do with my bode. And I don’t believe in the 2nd hand smoke junk science.
