One of the things that really bothered me about my smoking was the fact that there were fewer places to smoke as time went on. This was no small thing, because it entailed a lot of planning and forethought when it came to smoking in public. Of course, this was not always the case. It used to be that having a cigarette was a bit of a relaxing affair. Whether it was after a good meal or during a work break – smoking was supposed to be a private moment. These days, it’s a battle against social reform. But I certainly don’t fault anyone for that.
But, in any case, I miss that menthol cig break whenever I wanted it. This is especially true at work. The whole thing is not set up to require smokers to take and elevator and find the designated smoking spots. What a hassle! How am I supposed to go through all that, relax for a minute and then come back to work refreshed? It makes sense, as far as the health of the many non-smokers go – but I really wanted an alternative. And I got one in the form of a small battery powered cig substitute.
Now, you may have heard of electronic cigarettes and you may have even seen Johnny Depp smoke one in that movie with Angelina Jolie. But most smokers have yet to try this little item. I was a bit more fortunate. In my case, a friend of mine gave me one as a gift and asked me to try it out. Hey, it was free – so why not? so try it I did and I was absolutely amazed at the results. First of all, I was able to get true smoking enjoyment with all the nicotine that I craved.
Second of all, I immediately enjoyed the benefits of being able to smoke just about anywhere that I wanted to. This was just perfect for my work breaks. I no longer had to run downstairs and hide out in the “smokers section” of my building.This relaxed me a lot more and made me a lot more productive – which is something that my boss noticed. But best of all, at home I no longer had to subject my family to second hand smoke – which is a huge benefit. I seriously recommend trying ecigs to anyone who is a smoker and would like a more socially acceptable menthol smoking alternative.
