Holiday Gift Idea for Smokers who love the Earth!


So here I am, trying to figure out what to get my mother-in-law for the holidays and it occurs to me, the best gift idea for a smoker isn't an ashtray or a lighter, it's an electronic cigarette.

I know... I have shamelessly bragged about these before, but I really do love mine and I really do see a wonderful opportunity for smokers to pick something else. They are so much better for the environment as they leave little to no waste and they do not produce second hand smoke. There is even an option to purchase bottles of nicotine so you can reuse the same five filters over and over and over.

Be careful though. I have discovered, just today, that there are two kinds on the market. One is the type available from www.e-cig.org, where you re-use the pieces by refilling the nicotine and another type where you unscrew the mouthpiece and throw the entire mouthpiece out. From looking at the two units side by side, they have all of the same components accept one is broken into two parts and one is four. The issue with two parts, is that in order to refill the nicotine, you throw the filter part away which leaves a butt! But this butt, is made of plastic and metal.

Watch my electronic cigarette video!

So if you are looking for a great gift idea for a smoker, try the electronic cigarette. Once they try it, they'll love it. And, it is the gift that keeps on giving because you can save on average a year, over $1000. (That's based on a pack a day). You also reduce your cigarette boxes by 85% and cigarette butts, ashtrays, second hand smoke, and butane lighters by 100%.
