Second lie, it's more expensive. WRONG! The initial investment is $100 dollars to refill it it's the equivalent of ~$2 a pack. Let's be honest, how much money do you spend on cigarettes a month?

It's sad to see how corporations control our country and poison our minds with propoganda in the interest of $. Even the world health organization is full of shit and it;s obvious to anybody with a little common sense.

I think the reason they say this is more expensive than cigarettes is because in a lot of countries, cigarettes are still dirt cheap without their government driving the tax on tobacco way up like they do here in the US. I personally switch from smoking to vaping over a year ago and has not touched a regular cigarette since. I don't stink like a ashtray and I feel much better breathing and much better for knowing I am not harming anyone anymore... And yes, here in the US, it's way way cheaper

The nicotine from these e-cigarettes are derived from vegetables. In addition, it doesn't contain all the toxins in real cigarettes. They aren't far more expensive than traditional cigarettes. A pack of regular cigarettes in the USA costs anywhere from $5.00 to $8.00 a pack. A cigarette costs about $20, and the refills costs about $2 per pack. In the long run, you will save money. Every time you smoke, you will save $3 to $5 per pack. If you smoke a pack a day, you will save $90 to $150 a month.

@grababrain That was a nice burn to someone who thinks he/she knows everything. Good job man... but you're right though, that person has facts on hand, but showed nothing on trying to disprove your point.

E-gigs are not more exspensive than regular .I only pay 1.00 replacement cartridges and you can get them without nict..it worked for me.

E cigs are so much cheaper than analogs. My husband quit smoking analogs the first day he bought an e cig. He recieved a whole kit with 2 batteries as well as lots of e juice and many different cartomizers for 140.00 cdn$. Its been 4 months since hes had an analog and he went from spending 10-15.00 daily on smokes to about 10.00 a week on ejuice...id say well worth it.! There will always be critics i guess...
