I reduced my nicotine from around 600 MG a month as a smoker to about 15 MG as an ESmoker.

I don't even wake up an smoke anymore.

You didn't even answer anything I said.

You accuse the big bad tobacco companies of peddling cancer and disease to poor people, but pretend that nicotine—which is widely known to have several not so cool side effects—is completely fine to ingest? Ecigs are less toxic than cigarettes, not healthy. To say anything other than that is completely disingenuous.

And the only doctors who would say otherwise are paid to do so by ecig manufacturers. And a quitter's tool is hardly the main purpose of ecigs—for christ's sake, they're designed to look and act like the real thing! Light cigarettes were a whole lot more 'healthy' than Cowboy Killers. Those didn't make people quit any faster rate, so why would these? Both light cigs and ecigs contain less of the nasty stuff as full bodied cigarettes, but I'm supposed to believe one influences you to quit more than the other? Congrats on cutting back, but it has nothing to do with what you're smoking.

And further more, who the hell would want to quit if their favorite bad habit if it changed from being completely and totally unhealthy to something that will make you ill but probably not give you cancer by the time you're 55?

Weren't you blogging like a month ago about how your carts were
like bringing fresh water to the sahara.
And that wasn't even this business, you were running some sneaker cleaning franchise.

I mean, whatever works, but it seems like you are just bouncing from franchise to franchise while trying to advertise your products much like I would expect an infomercial to do.

I have worked with this company for a long time, along with shoe m.g.k. I do not only own interests in one type of store.

I recently became more then a partial owner, I became manager-operator and the experience changed my life.

I actually hinted that I was growing a chain in june when I opened Shoe M.G.K in Fairfield, that location and current economic concerns made me decide to close those and reopen then during the holiday season when higher foot traffic yields dramatic improvements.

Also this is the only thing I've been a part of that actually helps people change there life.

Basicly the 60,000 dollars in rent I was going to pay out of the next six months is completely unchanged, it is that I'm focusing on another vehicle to pace myself until Early and Middle October where I will reopen up to 3 Shoe M.G.K's (locations undecided) and at least two more of a product that has never been seen before on any of the world markets.

I don't have to pay franchise fee's, I buy from a wholesaler (factories in china) and resell items. I am just now focusing on only ONE product until future releases.

Also I have never generated a dollar from tl.net, I just like talking about what I'm doing. I would love if tl.net was a part of my financial plan but my small regional stores have almost NO appeal to anybody not residing near them.

(and I made crap money in Fairfield, less then 400-500 a day and almost killed myself)


Hawk,

Nicotine causes nothing that as a smoker I'm worried about. Nobody is allowed to buy an Electronic Cigarette from any of our stores unless they are currently smoking themselves into an early grave. This is not for people with clean blood and lungs. It is perfect for people like me. Smokers only club. I don't need it to be perfect, but it is perfect for me and what I want. That is why I'm so pumped! Also witnessing smokers conquer their addiction and then quit the e-cig after a couple weeks is awe inspiring and very very motivating.



I am selling a product I love more then any other and that makes me feel good about it and want to share it. I was going to die young smoking a pack a day. Now I won't. I'm Sold!

Holy shit, chill is right. You're like an infomercial.

I guess you missed all the years of research that show that nicotine in any form is pretty terrible for you huh? Like, completely destroy your circulatory system bad??

This is hilariously stupid. I could care less if you sell this stuff, but it's total bullshit that you're gonna sit here straight faced and claim it's a) healthy and b) it's a legitimate cessation device when it's nothing of the sort. It's nicotine. It makes you sick.

You're a liar peddling stuff that's detrimental to people's health and trying to pass it off as a benign activity on a gaming website that surely attracts a lot of kids. Real cool dude.

I wish you the best of luck with quitting but come on, unless you're sAviOr's preferred brand of cig-in-exchange-for-not-being-raped-in-prison, don't advertise here like this.
