I have dreaded the thought of publishing this information because it provides for the excuse of living with nicotine, the expense and the controversy but I personally recommend that anyone who doesn't smoke or can quit without compromise does without nicotine.

Nicotine has been confirmed by scientific literature to help provide for health in many areas. The area in which I find I think, a positive affect is that of memory and concentration. As for the fact that it helps improve mood and attention, I really wouldn't know. I only know that if I don't get my nicotine, I'm in a very foul mood. I attribute this to the addiction and one thing that anyone who has experience this type of withdrawal knows, there is attention for nothing but finding a nicotine fix.

I also hate to suggest that this scientific literature suggests that nicotine might be effective in helping with attention deficit disorder. This disorder seems to be on the increase in the younger generation (this is only an opinion from my observation and not substantiated by any scientific proof). Of course, there are other courses of treatment for attention deficit disorder and unfortunately I have observed them to be far more brutal on the personality than nicotine. This is only my opinion from observation and not anything that I have ascertain or look to ascertain as scientific fact.

Not specific to my own experience or observation but from published scientific literature, nicotine has been useful in helping the health of those with chronic depression and those being treated for schizophrenia. This literature also provides that nicotine helps alleviate the side-effects of anti-psychotic medications.

Herein lies the battle, will the e cigarette, as a dispenser of a healing aide, come under the jurisdiction of the FDA or will the tobacco companys' lobby be strong enough to provide that they will be the ones responsible for getting the tax levies and tax moneys on my source of pleasure (thereby out of the hands of the FDA) to the governments. And just for the record after a brief stint with my nicotine inhaler I surmised that my memory is just fine and that the dopamine raging through my brain has left me somewhat enlightened. No, my problem will never be Dementia or Alzheimer (I pray), and pray tell that nicotine might help there too.

The real problem here is that the governments are trying to legislate the sale of e cigarettes out of our hands until the tobacco companies have retooled there facilities to play in this field or the FDA legally gets their way. For the moment these "biggies" are playing their game out in state legislatures and governments and they have been given the support of the merchant banking community. Respected Merchant Banks including PayPal in North America will not process e cigarette or nicotine transactions citing them as "unsafe" and they have the teeth to and will freeze your bank accounts if they get wind of it (that will take the wind right out of your sales, I mean sails). And yet the tobacco companies go on banking their profits out of the same financial institutions and the governments go on processing the taxes collected on tobacco.

Canadian waters as wishy washy. Whether the FDA has any right to suggest an e cigarette ban because the e cigarette is considered a dispensers of medication is questionable but the controversy here is just enough to forestall any competition until such time as it is legislated (in their favour, I'm sure, they hope). Still where to bank your transactions, take a look at some of the horror stories of business with any of the lessor financial clearing houses to say nothing of the fees involved and you will surely give your head a shake over using this as a make money niche.

The European Union is looking to provided a 3 year moratorium on keeping the sale of e cigarettes status quo and thereafter, well it's anyones guess but it seems the equivalent to the FDA is the favoured clearing house. So there are still markets which allow the V Smoke Shop and other such businesses to be viable.

You can check the V Smoke Shop website for updates and access e cigarette legislative activity. With concerns in other businesses and a stanch business ethic the V Smoke Shop is here to help and will adhere to the law of the land.

Again, I hate to suggest that any of this should lead anyone to begin with this addiction but I wonder if there aren't any anti trust violations or other transgressions here. If there are, I am sure they are of no consequence as it is all part of the current "Corporate America". So much for small business who can't keep up with the ripoffs of the telecoms, cable companies, banks and governments causing an inflated standard of living that only their debt can keep up with.

Popular consensus has it that e Cigarettes and the like help save lives. There are some that will not be able to quit smoking because of the desire for nicotine... and what of those who are offended by the vapour (in most cases there is non), maybe they should go suck on an exhaust pipe as they drive to there place of work.

Any suggestions of harm from the use of vapouring nicotine in one form or another to the User is negligible, if at all (see up coming analysis) and in any case considerably less than inhaling the addictive ingredients bestowed upon us by the tobacco companies, the fertilizers and the other carcinogens of smoking dirty stinking cigarettes.
