For the life of me, I cannot understand why the mental helath community is not dancing in the streets and sings the praises of electronic cigarettes. My son uses Torch, www.torchcigarettes.com. Nicotine only, no tar, no carcinogens, no smoke. Electronic cigarettes are most definitely worth looking into.

I can breathe easier, no longer cough and no longer have a gross coated throat. After searching online for various companies and researching prices, I decided to buy from www.FreshSmoking.com . They've got the best prices, their starter kits are only $49.95 and the rest of their accessories and cartridges are much cheaper than any I've seen. Also, their customer service was amazing and I received my order lightening fast. I highly recommend them.

We are a far more diverse group..You will find us with doctorates and in doctoral programs, in every professional , blue and white collar job, in legislatures and in judge’s robes.

**There are no smoking cessation programs in place that address the needs of persons with schizophrenia.

Does this again intend: “People with schizophrenia researched in state supported mental health programs? ” It does suggest no mental health professional has provided such a program.

“People with mental illness” and “persons with schizophrenia” are common broad generalizations, neither offer specifics necessary to research.
