Jose Canseco is running out of ways to make money and draw attention to himself. He’s written books to out steroid users, he’s fought Vai Sikahema, Danny Bonaduce, and a 7-2 MMA guy, but his latest venture is the strangest. Jose Canseco is schilling for electronic cigarettes.
If you’re like me (you’re the shit) and you’re wondering what the hell is an Ecig? From the company Web site:
Smoking Everywhere E Cigarettes offers smokers many features over smoking traditional cigarettes. The product is free of tar & other chemical substances which is produced in traditional cigarettes. It is a non-flammable product (It does contain a lithium battery which carries certain explosion risks if ignited) and it lacks the second-hand smoke that accompanies traditional cigarettes. There is NO danger of second hand smoke and it is reusable (rechargeable by an electric outlet or car charger) so there is no problem with disposing of cigarette buds or ashes.
Smoking Everywhere E-Cig will provide smokers an experience similar to smoking a traditional cigarette without the fire, flame, tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide, ash, stub or smell found in real cigarettes. The main reasons people use Smoking Everywhere ECigarette include: a tar-free way to smoke, freedom to smoke most anywhere and everywhere, does not create first or second hand smoke, no smoke ortobacco odor, non-flammable, convenient and cheaper than traditional cigarettes (based on one pack per day smoker).
So it’s some sort of fake cancer stick that let’s you pretend you’re smoking and could possibly blow up in your face. Sounds like something Jose would get behind. I guess he’s not getting paid too much for his fight with Bill Simmons.

Another thing nice about the electronic cigarette besides the health benefits is that you can smoke them all night and not wake up in the morning with smokers cough or even gagging. Hopefully these electronic cigarettes are here to stay!

So..
Another person writing about a product they know nothing about.
Do some research before you bash something. Try one, at least look at one in person. I smoked 2 packs a day for 15 years, I found the ecig a month ago and am almost 100% free of cigarettes. It is in almost all aspects, smoking. But without the tobacco, and cancer causing chemicals. Whats up with the blow up in your face comment? You are a douche bag.
It’s too bad companies have to hire celebrities to get people to take notice of such a revolutionary product with potential to save lives. Do some research and join the fight against big tobacco. If you know a smoker, give them an ecig. You might just save them from tobacco.
