All you do is boil about 2 cups of water, empty the contents of about 3 cigarettes into the boiling water, boil it for about 5 minutes, and then filter it (if you drink the cigarette contents, it probably wouldn't be good).

Then, drink it. It's pretty hilarious watching somebody do this, because you'll definitely puke; so do it next to a toilet. Every time you're tempted to smoke you'll get so nauseated that you won't be able to go through with it.

Hopefully this post helps somebody, somewhere, to save some money and live a healthier life!

P.S.: And if you ever find yourself tempted to smoke again, just make more tea...

That sounds a bit dangerous to me. What happens if you *don't* "puke". There's probably enough crap in that juice to poison you.

I did the direct e-cig scam and was fortunate to be able to return it on time. Cost me $25 of a starter fee lol. But in the end I did quit smoking and love vaping. I have been reading on this forum for some time now and appreciate all the info I have gotten. Many thanx to everyone for their input. I ended up getting the eGo starter kit from alt smoke for $55 and am very happy with it.

Here lately I have been seeing Smoke Assist commercials running on the Reels channel. Looks like they have stepped up their game, going from Radio to TV.
They are still up to thier old tricks, Only making it sound like a great deal as they are offering this to the public in celebration of over 10,000,000 cartridges sold. They say in the commercial, you can smoke them any where, in Restaurants, bars etc. and they are still saying that one cartridge equals one pack of cigarettes, the guy that states this says that is good enough to get him through the wholeday.
Not sure what the actual model is, but what they show is a super mini of the sorts. And obviously when they show a demo of it in use, they are vaping pure VG.
"Just call now and this e-cigarette, a $130.00 value is yours absolutely free."No way in hell is this thing worth $130.00, maybe a third of that, but even at that price, is stretching it.
Yea right, what a scam. They don't even bother to flash the fine print on the screen either. I am sure that when people call, the rep fast talks his way through the parts where they will automatically bill you outrageous amounts each month for their cartridges and that in accepting this offer you have to pay the price.

People stay far away from scams like this. If it sounds too good to be true, then it's not.
