This Guy is Cigarette Crazy!

I made this documentary for PBS. They told me I had to be "balanced"and present both sides of the cigarette story. Amazingly, people on both sides said okay to being in my film. To see my film work, please visit: www.theHoffmancollection.com

I cannot find this video on your website. What is the exact name of it?

[allinaday]

@TheElectricRider I am sorry, but at the present time, this film of mine is not available for sale on DVD. I have just not converted from its one-inch master.

@ITouchTheElderly Think you for asking. The documentary is on my website, thehoffmancollection. It is part of a one-hour documentary I made for PBS. David Hoffman–filmmaker

@allinaday Is it possible to view it without purchasing it?

[allinaday]

@FieldMarshalRommel23 I am afraid that it is not. I am an independent filmmaker who makes my living from the documentaries that I make. My prices for my DVD purchases are low and usually people find it worth it when they buy one of my films. Thank you for asking.

cigarettes are addicting, the only reason they are still sold is because they bring in so much money

@Poisonshady313 That is what most people say but it's incorrect and based on smoking analog cigarettes not e-cigs. Smokers are as addicted to other chemicals in cigs not just nicotine. Once away from regular cigs and only using a cleaner nicotine, your addictions drops way down to almost nil. I do not crave nicotine at all anymore and can go for days without an ecig - I do enjoy the nicotine in e-cigs because unlike in cigs, it has a stronger stimulant effect but no addiction cravings.

[Poisonshady313]

@TheElectricRider E-cigs are so popular because nicotine addicts can feed their addiction in a safer way, in more public places. People make excuses for their addiction, claim to enjoy it. The reality is, they can't stand the thought of life without it. The pleasure smokers get from smoking is a relief of the agitation caused by smoking in the first place. It's all about the nicotine. E-cigs are certainly a less dangerous nicotine delivery method... but that's what it is. Nicotine addiction.

[TheElectricRider]

Scott Stapf is right. There is more to continuing to smoke besides just the addiction to it. People love to smoke. People enjoy smoking, even though they know it will possibly kill them in the end. That's why Electronic Cigarettes are so popular. People can still enjoy "smoking" without the harm of inhaling burning tobacco. After 22 years of smoking I quit using an e-cig when nothing else would work. I love using the e-cig because it made me a Non Smoker. Does the documentary talk about ecigs?
