One of the main differences is that you have to inhale longer on an electronic cigarette than you would a tobacco cigarette in order to generate a similar amount of vapour. Another difference is that electronic cigarettes are normally bigger and heavier than their tobacco counterparts, so your not going to hold it in your mouth. Then there is the taste, none of the versions I've tried really taste like real cigarettes, but then different brands of tobacco cigarettes don't taste the same. It took me a few weeks to get used to my electronic cigarette, as I hand rolled my own which are a lot smaller than the electronic version. I'm glad I persisted though, as I'm now totally tobacco and nicotine free.

I watched a video at this website but don't know what to think. Are there any real smokers out there that aren't promoting a product that can tell me what you really think?

The FDA is supposed to protect us from things that destroy our bodies, however turn a blind eye to tobacco cigarettes. There are over 4000 chemicals in a tobacco cigarette including cyanide and arsenic. If you had arsenic in your Frosted Flakes, Im sure the FDA would pull it from the shelves in a heartbeat. My 2cents... It is scary to think that our government allows thousands of people to die each year in return for Campaign Contributions.
