I too am looking to quit smoking and have wondered this myself. I'm not only looking for inexpensive but also safe. After reading in the news about the man who had one of these blow up in his face, blowing out his teeth and 3rd degree burns, I'm sort of hesitant to try the e-cigs. Good luck in your effort to quit smoking!
No experience with that, but - what worked for me

I went on Chantix 5 years ago and have not smoked since! It was not even hard. My husband quit 4 years ago with it.
Try it. If you are ready, you will quit.
I tried it myself for a couple of weeks - nm

didn't work for me. It wasn't the price, the urge for smoking never got satisified.
Check Groupon. One on there today in fact. - Me

The one today is a different brand than the ones I bought a couple months ago for my kids. The hubby and I quit smoking 1 year ago next month. Both our kids smoke, so a few months ago Groupon had an ecig kit for $24 with I think 2 cartons worth of refills and 2 "cigs". Both kids really like them. The one today is different so I can't speak to it, but I think ecigs are a great way to quit, or at least cut down. Much better for you. Groupon has them probably once a month.
This is interesting. I would like to try these. - L&L

I'm a lifelong nonsmoker, but I always said if I wasn't dead by the time I was 60, I would take up smoking. I see you can get these with very very low nicotine, maybe 0.5 mg (and even some with none). How does the cost compare withh regular cigarettes, if you just wanted the equivalent of 1 or 2 a day to relax?

Please don't START smoking at 60. There's just no need to do that. Bad for you, expensive, and you are 60! I always tell my teen, don't start...you NEVER hear anyone say, "I'm glad I started smoking." JUST DON'T!!

It is my understanding that under the ACA companies with more than 50 employees will have the option of either providing medical insurance *OR* opt out and pay the less expensive penalty. I also believe that many of these MTSOs have in excess of 50 employees, particularly the larger ones like Nuance and M*Model.

Not For The Middle Class.Nov 05, 2016 programs.
For the 85% of enrollees with lower incomes, federal subsidies make the premiums somewhat more affordable. Those even closer to the poverty line can get additional subsidies that reduce the deductibles, which can run into the thousands of dollars.
But for many middle class Americans -- a single person earning more than $47,520 or a family of four with an income of $97,200 -- the pricey premiums and deductibles mean health care coverage remains out of reach.
