    Actually, Skell has a good point. What is the difference between an ecig and an NRT?
    Originally posted by Premium Parrots
    Nicotine replacement therapy (commonly abbreviated to NRT) is the remedial administration of nicotine to the body by means other than tobacco, usually as part of smoking cessation. Common forms of nicotine replacement therapy are nicotine patches (which transdermally administers nicotine) and nicotine gum (which orally administers nicotine). The primary benefit of nicotine replacement therapy is that it prevents cravings in a smoker whilst allowing him to abstain from tobacco—and thus avoid the harmful effects of smoking. NRT enables the easier overcoming of nicotine addiction because it reduces the craving to smoke.
    The use of nicotine replacement therapy increases the success of quitting smoking by 50 to 70%. Patches may cause skin irritation. Safety with respect to heart attacks appears good.

    Nicotine patches are a transdermal patch for the administration of nicotine. Nicotine gum, nicotine sprays, nicotine sublingual tablets, and nicotine lozenges administer nicotine orally. Nicotine inhalers are metered-dose inhalers that administer nicotine through the lungs and mucous membranes, especially to the back of throat.
    Snus and nasal snuff also allow for nicotine administration outside of tobacco smoking, but do cause negative health effects.
    Electronic cigarettes are an emerging method for nicotine administration that consists of inhalation of a nicotine containing atomized solution. Electronic cigarettes offer users the option to wean themselves off nicotine by modifying the amount of nicotine they would normally get from smoking regularly to no nicotine at all. Negative health affects and efficacy are still under investigation and the Food and Drug Administration reflects this attitude.



    apparently they are the same thing
    Precisely, they are the same thing, ecigs are no different to those nicorette inhaler things, they just give give off vapor.

      I think Bloomberg should stop eating meat. It will be a good move for his health, the environment and the animals. Perhaps Bloomberg should have to fork over a sizeable sin tax everytime he eats meat! Oh and no burger's over 1/4 pound.

        The difference between Vaping and NRT in New York is that the vaping community isn't giving Bloomberg a sh!t ton of money like big pharma. They offer free quit smoking products in New York just long enough to get you addicted to them instead and then you're f'ed.

          Man these EVODs I got are so friggin good. I even revisited the "China" juice and it actually tastes like something now. If the heads last a few weeks each I can't imagine using anything else because they are so damn cheap. Maybe I'll get one Pro Tank II just to treat myself because after all they do use the same heads (well at least the pro tank does). Doing my happy dance.
