My experience with SKY Cig Electronic Cigarette
Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:05:05 PDT

Ok let me start this off by saying I have been a smoker for 13 years. I have battled this addiction since the cigarette companies hooked up when I was a naive teenager. My addiction over the years has grown to a pack a day, more if I am drinking. Last month I was in the UK on business and hit up the Sportsman Poker Room in Mayfair. As usual I left my seat every hour to suck back on a "fag" as the Brits call it. Two hours into the game this guy sits down and pulls out an ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE made by a company called SKY Cig. The guy proceeded to smoke it at the table without any problems! He was a regular and smoking "SKY" as he called it was allowed at the poker table! He had been smoking this cig for 2 months and went from 12 cigarettes a day to 1 or 2, somedays he didn't have any regular cigarettes because he is used to SKY Cig and it was much easier since it didn't produce a smelly smoke so he could smoke it anywhere.

Needless to say I ordered one and had it delivered to my hotel (took 4 days) and I now have it back in the USA. I smoked it at the Seminole Casino and on the flight home! I have yet to see these in the USA and unfortunately for my buddies (who want one) SKY doesn't deliver outside of the UK.

If anyone knows of any companies in the US let me know. I actually emailed SKY Cig to see if I could get the rights to their product in the USA, doubt that will happen though ;)

I am proud to say I haven't had a real cigarette in 9 days!
