i think it's relatively common knowledge that smoking is a serious faux pas during session.  it's stinky, it lingers in the air, it makes your fingers, lips, breath, and clothing smell bad, etc. etc.  this has been well established at this point.

who do smoke.  As I have now created a Pavlovian link from smoke to sex, it's all I can do now to avoid becoming a smoker!

That said, I would find the use of the electronic cigarette to be more desirable, and would not have any problem with a smoker who used same.  For one thing, it would avoid the somewhat clunky maneuver of having to leave a room during an extended session to take cigarette breaks.

Do be aware however, some recent articles about these electronic cigarettes state that the vapor you inhale from them contains just as many and perhaps even more toxins than standard cigarettes.

One person very near and dear to me swears by the all natural cigarettes (American Spirits) as they do not add any chemicals to the tobacco and therefore do not have the same deleterious effects on the body as standard brands do.

Chicago has enacted laws against using e-cigs indoors (same laws that apply to tobacco).

 out of curiosity, though, would you find yourself offended if a provider puffed on an electronic cigarette during session downtime (not during playtime, obviously)?  it's water vapor, not smoke -- if it does have any scent, it's very light, and smells nothing like cigarettes; and it does not have any of the aforementioned negative effects that cigarette smoke does.  
   
 i'm trying to quit smoking with the use of an electronic cigarette, which so far has been working out fabulously, for the most part.  i've never been the type to smoke during session; but with the e-cig, i find that rather than going through bursts of chainsmoking, i tend to quietly and slowly nurse it throughout the day.  i find it especially helpful when meeting someone new, as i tend to get very nervous, and having something innocuous to do with my hands and mouth (save the jokes is very helpful.  
   
 just curious to hear your thoughts.

i smoke my e-cig everywhere and have done so without issue in the lobbies of various hotels, on trains, in restaurants, etc.  most people i've encountered - in any context - seem to find it totally inoffensive.  i'm very surprised to see that the opposite seems to be the case here!  it's good to know.

I prefer longer dates and I'd rather have the gal I'm with feeling good than getting cranky for lack of a smoke

I have absolutely no problem with e-cigs. They're a great invention.  I was so accustomed to smoking between sexual bouts that it would now probably actually be appealing to me just for the visual.

humor from the great Woody Allen:

it before. I really don't like smoking during the session, even on breaks. Mainly due to the smell. I have never kissed someone who was using an e-cig (that I know of, maybe they are that good) before. I don't think the e-cig would bug me as long as it didn't smell funky.

If it is killing you.who.gives a damn.about the smoke or the smell?

I think the FDA is currently reconsidering their position on e-cigs.  They are currently not regulated like tobacco but they contain nicotine (the addicting and toxic component) so they might become classified as cigarettes or tobacco products which I think means that current "No Smoking" signs and bans (hotel rooms, airplanes) will apply, as well.

You would have no complaints from me.
We would probably wind up trading juice..
Wait. You know what I mean.

it's very important to me that i am able to be clear-headed and fully in control of all of my faculties during these times; not out of mistrust towards my clients or anything, it's simply a standard to which i hold myself.  even in my personal life, it's very rare for me to use intoxicants.

a knee-jerk reaction that is not based on any empirical data.  

You should really read up on Propylene Glycol. I can assure you that what you're "vaping." on isn't "water." but often times a mixture of substances. Propylene Glycol is generally regarded as safe, however there are studies about it affecting airways in everyday application.

When I'm face to face with a beautiful women there is only one head I'm thinkin' with anyway!

Does'nt leave a bad smell in their hair or place-some were very curious & wanted to try i -know what is in your juice only buy US made juices-others are not regulated as for as content pg/vg , additives
