Nicotine causes heart disease by decreasing oxygen to the heart, increasing blood pressure and heart rate, increasing blood clotting and damaging cells that line coronary arteries and other blood vessels. Nicotine narrows the blood vessels, increasing the heart rate and putting more strain on the heart. It narrows the arteries to make them vulnerable to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which can led to heart attack or stroke.

So e cigarettes are a step in the right direction but take it from me, heart disease sucks!

Yep, my bad I forgot to mention that you can buy Cartridges without even Nicotine in it. Then all you inhale is harmlless vapour, it just leaves the impression you're actually smoking.. Way much healthier than smoking regular cigarette or hookah.

I don't know though if any studies have been done examining any health risks related to the "blanks".

Also they are lying on their site. "Unlike the content of the traditional cigarette the base liquid of The D’Light cartridge contains liquid-nicotine, food grade flavourings and Propylene glycol.

The liquid content does not contain ingredients harmful to human body, such as tar and carcinogenic substances and is ready to be atomized."

Well it contains nicotine which is in fact harmful, something the nicotine "quit smoking" aids also like to pretend isn't bad for you. After all they don't really want you to quit, they just want you to switch your addiction to their more expensive products, this is why they urge using their products for such long periods of time when "quitting".

Well I consider myself a non-smoker afterall Despite these occasinal moments while on some partys then it happens to smoke couple of cigarettes with my mates. So when I'm gonna get this spectacular invention for me I will also use it occasionally, just to make no or less harm to myself as to smoke real cigarette or hookah and get almost the same "smokey" satisfaction.

Btw was I not surprised after watching that whole video that one of the cigs parts was called a "Dummy" ?

And the other "Dummy" is one that buys it.

So you get 2 for the price of one.

No offense meant to any posters here.

That thing is ridiculas. She looks goofy. They all look goofy. Quit! You will feel better. I can attest to that!

What is the point. Either quit like a few of us here have or smoke.

Ditto that!

Quitting is a cast-iron bitch. But it can be done. I have literally no will-power when it comes to vices, and I pulled it off.
