The Shocking Pitches Of E-Cigarettes To PRE-TEENS

Do these pushers have any morals?

NO NOT ONE.

Greed is their driving force, Money is their God and, Your kids and grand kids are their TARGET!

How are they doing it?

They are intentionally advertising them on youth oriented TV shows.

Between 2011 and 2014 kids between the age of 12 and 17 have been targeted and bombarded with 2 1/2 times the commercials per day than 2011. Youth 18-24 have been targeted with 3 1/2 times the commercials per day since 2011.

Think they only want the adults? No, they want the untapped youth market as well and they have no scruples.

Do all these flavors sound like they were targeted at adults or for kids who want to be adults?

People who promote their use are promoting addiction and slavery.

DON'T FALL FOR IT!

You will be in the same trap you are now. The same addict. The same habit/rituals. E-cigarettes control their users just as much as regular cigarettes do/did you and I. They build their whole existence around vaping and they just can't see it.

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
