Electronic Cigarettes Save Johnny Depp's Mother
Electronic cigarettes are getting more and more nods from health professionals as a less harmful alternative to smoking tobacco. According to a press release, with so much propaganda and positioning by anti-smoking groups in the news, the subject can be downright confusing to smokers as well as the non-smoking public. About 90% of North Americans consume caffeine in some form every day. Both nicotine and caffeine are addictive, yet the hypocritical anti-smoking groups that want to take away the personal choice of electronic cigarettes for smokers, wouldn't think of giving up their daily dose of caffeine.
Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarette, e-cig (and personal vaporizer) has found its place among smokers who want to rid themselves of a habit which kills millions each year. Until now, they were faced with limited choices such as expensive nicotine patches and gum. Many had tried smoking cessation miracles only to find out that the promise of the "magic pill" just didn't work for them. When those proved ineffective, they were left with no alternative but to continue their journey of self-destruction by smoking tobacco.
The press release further reports that, in the past few years, the new electronic cigarettes have been winning over smokers for a variety of reasons. It has become a win-win situation for those fortunate enough to have discovered them. They can get their nicotine fix, not offend anyone with second-hand smoke and feel better knowing that when using electronic cigarettes they aren't pouring toxic chemicals and tar into their lungs that are in tobacco cigarettes.
An electronic cigarettes company in Southlake, Texas, was recently contacted by Debbie Depp Rassel, the sister of actor Johnny Depp. She told the company representative how she and her mother just couldn't quit tobacco cigarettes and that their mother's doctors had been telling her to quit for the last two years. Two months ago she told Johnny about their mom's condition and he suggested they try electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes are widely used in the United Kingdom where Mr. Depp resides.
In a recent email to the company owner, Ms. Rassel stated that, "My mom is a different person since quitting; she doesn't have to use breathing treatments anymore, and you have given us back our mom. In a billion years, I can't thank you enough."

Ever since adopting her daughter Naleigh last September, Katherine Heigl has been trying to kick her heavy smoking habit.
But it appeared as if she had lit up a cigarette on the set of her latest film One For the Money.
Or did she? It turns out that the Knocked Up star was in fact smoking an electronic cigarette between takes on the set in Pittsburgh.
Lighting up: Katherine Heigl tries to curb her smoking habit with an electronic cigarette on the set of her new movie One For The Money
Doing it for the baby: Katherine Heigl and daughter Naleigh out shopping. Katherine's trying to quit smoking for her baby
The 32-year-old actress has confessed to being a heavy smoker since she was 24, but vowed to quit after she and her husband Josh Kelly adopted Naleigh, now 19 months-old, from South Korea.
The e-cigarette is designed to still give smokers their required oral fixation and while it still provides nicotine, it's inhaled only as a vapour rather than smoke.
When not e-smoking between takes, Katherine was seen walking around holding a cup and dressed in black jeans, black boots and a denim jacket for her role in the film.
The natural blonde is also seen sporting dark hair for her latest role as Stephanie Plum, an out-of-work lingerie saleswoman whose husband leaves her.
She's then forced to take a job as a bail bonds woman to make ends meet.
Her Stephanie Plum character was made famous in a series of 18 novels by Janet Evanonvich.
The movie has been trying to get off the ground since the nineties with both Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon rumoured to be attached to the project at one time or another.
However, it was Katherine who eventually landed the part and the project finally began filming in Pennsylvania last week.
Leonardo DiCaprio is an Electronic Smoking Cyclist.
Leonardo DiCaprio indulges in a short e-cigarette break while out with some pals in New York City on Friday (March 6, 2009).
On Sunday (March 8, 2009), Leo was seen puffing away at another e-cigarette while grabbing Chinese food with some friends in Los Angeles. He was wearing his favorite FAU cap and has said about it, “I have no idea [why I wear it] but I love baseball caps! This is the real reason I wear ’em: I just like the design and the pattern. People come up to me and say, ‘You went to FAU!’ Wait—this is Florida Atlantic University.”
Ryanair airplane
If you're a nicotine-addicted businessman or woman who longs for the days when you could light up on passenger flights, you're in luck.
The Irish airline Ryanair is now allowing passengers to smoke on its flights, according to a press release.
But nonsmokers need not cancel their reservations for fear of noxious fumes. The "smokeless" cigarettes are not lit - nicotine is inhaled directly.
Packs of 10 smokeless cigarettes will be sold to passengers 18 years of age and older for 6 euros (about $8.72) on all flights.
The discount airline stated that it is catering to the more than 24,000 passengers who expressed a wish to be able to smoke during flights.
The smokeless cigarettes "can ensure a more enjoyable and stress-free flight for all passengers as nonsmokers will no longer have to cope with moody smokers in need of nicotine," the press release stated.
