			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started smoking when I was 16&#8230; I am now 27. If my math is correct, that means I have been smoking for about 11 years. Its certainly not something I proud of, yet it isn&#8217;t something I am ashamed of either. I enjoy smoking&#8230; in fact, I <strong>really</strong> enjoy smoking. It has been unfortunate then that tobacco smoking isn&#8217;t the healthiest life choice one could make and turns out to be rather annoying.</p>
<p>I could probably deal with the smoking if it weren&#8217;t for the awful smell, the smokers cough, protests by my peers, scornful looks, willful exclusion of oneself in social settings and the constant battle to find an &#8216;acceptable&#8217; place to smoke. Being a smoker is difficult, so much so that a smoker&#8217;s true testament to tobacco is in the very fact they continue to smoke despite all the adversity to smoking found in today&#8217;s developed society.</p>
<p>So sure, despite all that I continued to smoke&#8230; for 11 years. Today, I am happy to announce that I still smoke but now I smoke without all of the annoyances known to the tobacco smoker and those around them. My peers no longer complain, I no longer stink and my smokers cough is no more&#8230; on top of it all, I can now smoke where I please without displeasing anyone else. Electronic smoking is truly the solution to the problems faced by both smokers and non-smokers alike. Social society at least, can quit dividing itself between smokers and non-smokers&#8230; all can co-exist again in the same venue.</p>
<p>So it is with much joy that I relay my experiences to you dear reader, the experience of evolving from tobacco smoking to electronic smoking is an enlightened one and feels much like a victory in compromise between one&#8217;s comforts and concern for one&#8217;s health and peers. The smokers evolution is a journey I recommend to any smoker, so it is my hope that such persons may benefit from my words here.</p>
<p>Since I find electronic smoking to be satisfying I think I will continue to smoke for quite sometime without all the fear and annonyance I felt when I smoked tobacco. So as long as it makes sense, you will find my experiences and reviews published at The Electronic Smokers Magazine for the benefit of all smokers looking to evolve into a modern smoker.</p>
