electronic-cigarette-main


Hey guys. Normally I wouldn’t try this type of thing but in this case it’s a step towards getting healthy and saving some money along the way. I decided recently that it was time to get my shit together and save up for the next step. Anyway, here’s the setup: I need to pull together about $80 so I can try switching to the electronic cigarette. I was offered a discount on one and I had been meaning to do it anyways considering the fact that normal cigarettes are a huge hit to to my health and wallet. This is a step towards quitting and saving money for the future. I don’t have the extra cash to just throw down on this, but any little bit to help me out would make me insanely grateful. I’ll post about the experience when I finally buy it and let you all know how it’s working for me. Maybe the resulting blog entry (entries) will help you convince a family member or friend to do the same. Here’s the breakdown on why this is something I want to do:

With regular cigarettes:
  • Each pack of Marlboros cost about 7.25 in Boston.

  • At 1 pack a day that means I’m spending around $220 per month on death
  • The “extra stuff” in cigarettes is what causes cancer and other illness

    With this electronic cigarette:
  • The equivalent of one pack of cigarettes cost about $1.25

  • At one “pack” a day I would only spend about $40 per month on a habit- not a deadly one.
  • It’s only nicotine. None of the nasty extra stuff that gets in your lungs and kills you.

    • I love talking about gadgets and I’ve been considering this idea for a while, but I don’t know anyone who has really tried using this yet, so I figured it would help to post about it as a sort of gadget review if all works out. That should give me something interesting to blog about and make some positive steps forward. If you’re looking for more info on it just click here to go to their website. Every tiny bit helps. Thanks in advance if you’re willing to pitch in.
