Well, that remains to be seen, but the recent upsurge in brick'n'mortar e-cig vendors is just a recapitulation of the the surge in web stores, some of whom also have meatspace stores. As a 'vaper' for over 3 years, I can say that I'm all in favor of this not being a fad, and I hope the verdamt gov-goons keep their paws off. I smoked for 29 years, and e-cigs are what has enable me to quit. I'll grant that it's not as good as completely giving up on inhalant intoxicants, but it's an improvement. And it costs less.<br /><br />@Brad K: Pot vaporizers have been around for a while.jedhttp://freedomsight.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-39123582738362235202013-09-06T18:22:41.341-04:002013-09-06T18:22:41.341-04:00It has already started:

This mix buffers the sinuses, and makes the #damp more comfortable.<br /><br />Why, you can even order an appliance (mine came from India, but Walmart sells them, too) to #damp. I tend not to do this in public, but that is just me. Note that you can tilt your head to one side, and #damp into the upper nostril. If you then tilt your head down, the #damp runs out the opposite nostril, raise your head a bit and the deluge trickles out the mouth. Repeat on t'oher side. This four-way #damp will rinse/treat more of the sinuses, relieving more symptoms.<br /><br />Then there is the Saline Nasal Mist, #damp in a bottle. My doctor told me, in Phoenix, "Twice in each side, and blow. Clears up to a sinus infection without antibiotics, relieves allergies." Also helps clear things after being in a dusty place. Saline Nasal Mist comes in different brands, depending on the store -- usually a pharmacy or pharmacy department.<br /><br />But I would rather see our youth Neti Washing . . er, #damping, than doing snuff. Those silver snuff boxes are expensive, not to mention confusing them with snuff flicks, which have nothing to do with clearing the fingers of boogers.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-5544251160322627882013-09-06T15:53:11.011-04:002013-09-06T15:53:11.011-04:00Forget Damp...I just took a huge hit of pure unadu...Forget Damp...I just took a huge hit of pure unadulterated Air.<br /><br />Now that stuff is addicting...I already can't live without that shit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-68306153428148089952013-09-06T15:22:50.582-04:002013-09-06T15:22:50.582-04:00Duude!
