What child would spend over $100 on something just because they heard it tastes like chocolate? They wouldn't. They'd just go to the store and spend $1 on a chocolate bar. Besides, retailers won't sell to anyone who's under 18. In addition, all retailers warn that this product is NOT for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Electronic cigarettes are harmless, and an incredible invention You get the nicotine, but without the 4000+ harmful chemicals that are in regular cigarettes I can actually breathe now, and I can smoke anywhere regular cigarettes are banned (bars, restaurants, even airplanes), and I don't have to pay those ridiculously steep tobacco taxes. Sooooo, what's the downside?

Sounds like they are marketing this product more toward children for long time use than an easy way for long time smokers to quit a horrible habit. Also, apparently, the nicotine product has never been tested on humans. It has been used for patches and gum, but never inhaled before, so the long term effects are unknown. That is a little scary! http://www.newsy.com/videos/a_healthy_cigarette/ I watched a video that stated that the e-cigs come in different flavors such as chocolate, cherry, and mint.
