“Damn Erik, cigarette is injurious for your health. It can give nothing but a slow death to you as well as your family.” I have tired hearing such words from my friends already and knowing all the bad effects from smoking, I can only pretend if cigarette is making me and my family’s dying then let it be.

If quit smoking was as easy as it sounds, millions of webmasters would have never opted for building billions of websites in this issue. In my country, a highly renowned writer, also a 30-cigarette a day smoker, got affected by lung cancer. He wrote a story for the daily newspaper from hospital. In that story, he said that those who think quitting smoking were tough, they were absolutely wrong, as he had quitted smoking for 157 times in his entire life.

After so many excuses above against quit smoking (you already know why), I would like to focus on writing the V4L Electronic Cigarette review. I must remind you though, I’m new to vaping, this would be my first experience with e-cigarette. The first thing struck in my mind right after opening the box was, if I used this electronic cigarette in public, I’m pretty sure everyone would laugh at me. I mean, neither the size and shape nor the look of V4L cigarette resembles with a real cigarette, unless you use the white battery with brownish colored cartomizer. Johnny Depp went through an awkward situation in the movie “The Tourist” in front of Angelina Jolie with an e-cigarette when that cigarette looked just like a real one, I was wondering what would have Jolie said to Johnny if he was smoking a V4L cigarette. By the way, Tuvie is planning to host a giveaway for V4L electronic cigarette to help you smokers quit your smoking habit, would you be interested?

Before writing anything about this superb auto parachute concept, I would like to say that, “Keep this parachute out of children’s reach”. The reason is, thought this is an active and efficient life saver in case of fire or other disasters in high-rise buildings, kids may find it an adventurous playing idea jumping out of the rooftop, considering the high level of safety the parachute is offering even for those who have never even seen a parachute before. LOL. Just kidding.
