Well, some smokers have told me that part of smoking's draw for them is habit and the calming effect of the ritual. The e-cig could be giving you that much, even if it's not giving you nicotine. |
Right now it's taking more than giving anything. I had a pretty good run with it, earlier, but now it's requiring constant charging in its little USB dock. Really, it's kind of cute, like an insolent, passive-aggressive 16 year-old baby sitter. It sits there sucking on the power-supply and offering relatively little in terms of value that can't be afforded elsewhere. Each party has their own way of mocking me. The cute plastic surrogate in her little black chassis who will easily suck more power out of the USB port than I will nicotine from her or the pack of cigarettes for whom Phillip Morris and the State of Michigan seem to have equal share of at $7.49 a pack.
It blinks, telling me to put it in the charger or if I'm over-using it, too much - and it's clear it would rather not have to do anything, let alone what I hired it to do. The saving grace is that it exists without an ashtray. What cigarettes are to indoor cats, in terms of waste, the e-cigarettes are to dogs. They let you know when it's time to switch cartridges. In all other ways, the e-cigarette resembles a cat - it's going to do what it wants to do when it wants to do it.
