   taste can vary from real tobacco    
   flavor to almost anything. The vapor has no smell. The level of nicotine can   
   be from 24 mg (equivalent to strong cigarette) to 0 mg.

   i don't have it. I like it, but i don't feel the need for it, or deprived if i   
   don't have it. When i have headaches, though, i drink coffee or take a   
   caffeine tablet in pill    
   form alongside my headache pill. When i need a kickstart, it's good too. Not   
   all addictive substances are necessarily unnecessary.   
      
   I guess the old Native Americans in the past did only smoke in special   
   moments, too. Maybe I should get into the habit of drinking coffee in   
   some special moments. :) When I have headaches, then I drink vegetable   
   juice with Cayennepepper. That helps somehow better than coffee. Don't   
   know why.
