Tobacco products have killed millions in the world and smokers find it hard to give it up even now. Smokers have found a solution that is saving lives yet we are at risk of losing our lifeline. We are requesting that the powers that be at the FDA allow us to continue to use and purchase these nicotine delivery devices at our own discretion while further testing commences from the FDA. If you ban these devices millions will return to tobacco products which would be a guaranteed death sentence for many. With the harm that is well known with tobacco what more could it hurt us to just allow us to help ourselves for the time being with these devices many of us have been using for years. We just want to be heard and want you to give this device its fair hearing.

Lets Illustrate the Psychological Power of Financial Incentive On Social Behavior Change
You will begin to realize while reading this story that the driving factor that will cause a paradigm shift in the smoking industry will be the financial incentive, not the product.
Listen to this illustrative story. A weight loss study was performed with severely overweight people that realized their serious health condition. They were split up into two test groups. Each group was given a personal trainer, gym membership, clothing, nutrition plan, and everything they needed to successfully loose weight and improve their health.
There was one little difference between the two groups. The researchers gave Group B a financial incentive of $20 for every pound that they lost. We'll it doesn't take a genius to know what happend and in fact it did happen. Group B with the financial incentive outperformed Group A by a whopping 20% margin.
Now watch what happens next. Then the researchers stopped the weight loss cycle and started another test. They gave Group A a $20 incentive for every pound they could keep off vs.. Group B with no financial incentive. Have a guess? Group A kept more weight off .
So let's relate all of this to the In-Life Products , alternative nicotine vapor delivery devices, without any of the harmful & cancer causing affects of tobacco combustion.
Early on the In-Life product was given to several heavy smokers. Very few of them actually switched to the device for their nicotine delivery, even though they knew smoking tobacco was affecting their lives in various ways.
Now what do you think happend when the company implemented a financial incentive/network marketing platform?
It's a fact! Every one of them are now using the device, at least a portion of the time, now that they have a financial incentive to show others and change.
You see, without the financial incentive for smokers to use it as an alternate nicotine delivery device, this product would NEVER take hold. Smokers know that tobacco has the harmful and contain cancer causing chemicals while nicotine has none, it's an addictive substance similar to caffeine. But they have never had the incentive to get their nicotine fix somewhere other than lighting tobacco.
What can we learn from this? The fundamental psychology of financial incentive is the key driver of the paradigm shift in the smoking industry and will be the reason change will be permanent while this product will become the norm in society, putting pressure on tobacco usage to significantly decrease.

Recent statistics revealed that tobacco smoking causes about 435,000 deaths or one out of six deaths in the United States every year. 20,000 of which are flu and pneumonia related deaths that have found its roots in smoking while a whooping 174,000 smokers would die from heart disease. Recent study even revealed that smoking increases the risk of dying of a heart attack by 60 percent.
Also, smoking ignites cancer. 143, 000 smokers are recorded to have died of cancer wand 83,000 of them comes from lung cancer alone and another 26,000 from cardiac arrest due to the inadequate supply of oxygen to the brain.
All because of smoking, 40% of men and 28% of women die prematurely, before their time.
“Smoking has killed more people in the U.S. alone than the number of Americans killed in battle or who died of war related diseases in all wars ever fought by this nation,” stated in the Surgeon General Report of 1985.
Tobacco smoking is indeed a deadly one. They even say that a stick would cut your lifespan a day short at a time. So beware, stop now if you can.

inLife Electronic Cigarettes are Ecofriendly
Since when did cigarettes become an ecofriendly thing? Since the beginning of time, cigarettes are known to be the Earth’s enemy. To make a single stick of your favorite cigarette, its main ingredient, the tobacco undergoes dousing of ammonia and other chemicals unknown to a normal smoking man. When you light it up and you start puffing, its smoke spread around and will not dissipate; it just hovers above us, threatening to enter somebody’s lungs if the smoke wishes to.
According to a fire chief, the major cause of brush fires are smoldering cigarette butts.
According to a recent Earth Day Study, 35% of the tonnage of waste material collected is cigarette butts.
Fortunately, that is all behind us now. With the revolutionary Ecigarette, it is nonflammable, no harmful smoke and most of all, did not use tobacco in production. It is pure liquid nicotine. The smoke you see when you come across an electronic cigarette in action is water vapor and it evaporates after use so there are no potentially harmful side effects of second-hand smoke and pollution.

Doctors Promote The inLife Electronic Cigarette
When it comes to smoking, your doctor is the first person to discourage you from this bad habit. They will show you horrendous pictures and video of disfigured lungs in an attempt to break you away from smoking. But then, here comes the good news..
An article released by itv.com features Doctor Chris testing electric cigarettes and declared it to be a safer alternative to smoking tobacco. It is also included in “The Doctors” top 10 health products for 2008 although they stressed out that the product should not be intended for non-smokers, underage and pregnant women. However, Ecigarettes are highly recommended for current smokers and for those who are attempting to slowly quit the habit.
One cartridge of an Ecigarette would match 7-10 traditional ones. This depends on how you use it. For now, inLife electronic cigarettes are available in the US and Canada.

The Downside of Traditional Cigarettes
We all see the labels posted on cigarette packs: Warning! Cigarette Smoking Can Cause Cancer! And its no wonder they cause cancer, cigarettes contain tobacco which in turn contains carcinogens or cancer causing substances.
Studies have shown that although most of the 599 additives found in a normal cigarette can be found in most processed foods, the act of burning these substances causes changes the properties of the chemicals, producing more than 4,000 different compounds. Cigarette smoking has caused 90% of lung cancers, not including other diseases like emphysema, cardio vascular diseases and some pulmonary infections. In addition to this, cigarette smoking is a major contributing factor to increasing risks of heart attacks, diabetes and throat or oral cancers.
Pregnant women who smoke also have higher risks of miscarriages and low infant birth weights. Some children born to mothers who smoked during the pregnancy also experience behavioral and learning deficiencies.
Another harmful effect of cigarette smoking is second-hand smoke. Second hand smokers either inhale tobacco smoke by inhaling exhaled smoke or by inhaling the smoke coming off cigars, cigarettes and similar products. Inhaling second hand smoke increases your risk of getting lung cancer by as much as 30%. Second hand smoke has also been known to cause respiratory infection and decreased lung function. Children continually exposed to second hand smoke develop severe asthma, ear infections and sudden infant death syndrome.
People addicted to smoking find quitting difficult. Most experience withdrawal symptoms like shaking and incessant cravings. However, quitting improves one’s health almost immediately by decreasing your risk for heart attack, stroke and cancer. Studies have shown that a man who stops smoking at 35 years-old improves his life expectancy by five years.
