ive been smoking for about 8 years now, lots of people say its bad for my health, what are your opinions on smoking?
I've actually never smoked before!
Oh ok, Well I have been wanting to try an e-cigarette, its basically a handheld device that creates the feeling of tobacco smoking, I hear it can be healthier too. .
That sounds good, it doesn't use tobacco at all?
Nope,  It works by heating up a liquid which is commonly called a "vapor", and then you inhale it like smoke. 
Wow that sounds a lot healthier!  How long have e-cigarettes been around?
I have no idea, All I know is that they can help some smokers like me quit. Which is why I wanna try them. 
I think you should for it!  My grandfather quit cold turkey and said it was hellish.
