The notion +I am what I consume+ is the defining characteristic of the commodified self (Woodward, 2007, p. 162). This is an expansion of Marx+s (1986) notion of commodity fetishism, that within capitalist society the commodity becomes the locus of social value. A commodity+s use-value becomes +a reality only by use or consumption+ (Marx, 1986, p. 44). The value of commodities within identity construction is their value as signs. The sign is a concept utilised by Barthes (1993, p. 109) to denote an association between an object (signifier) and its message (signified), where the object is used to communicate a culturally recognisable meaning. Subsequently inanimate objects encoded with meaning are used to communicate an individual+s +self+ and identity to others (Woodward, 2007, p. 159).
In Australia alone, e-cig users will be shocked to know that smoking is a major cause of lung cancer - the leading cause of death in both men and women. This is the fourth most common cancer in both sexes. In 2007, there were 9,703 lung cancer cases and 7,626 deaths. Daily, the disease kills 13 men and 8 women in that country.
The eliquid (or ejuice) is what gets vaporized and turns into "smoke". Eliquid starts as a base of either propylene glycol or vegetable glycol. Varying strengths of liquid nicotine are added. Finally, the eliquid is flavored. The flavors range from tobacco-based flavors to fruit and candy flavors. You can also get non-flavored eliquid and add flavorings yourself. Ecig users appreciate the freedom in being able to choose their own flavors, and not just what tobacco companies offer. Eliquid suppliers often offer sample "tasters" - small amounts of eliquid in different tastes so that you can sample them.

This invention is called an electronic cigarette. An electronic (electric or e-cigarette) was developed a few short years ago by Chinese inventors. Advancements in micro technology have allowed them to make a device that functions very similar to a regular cigarette. The user inhales on an electronic cigarette just like they normally would a traditional tobacco cigarette, but a nicotine solution that comes in vapor form is inhaled instead of smoke. The user then exhales the vapor and it evaporates rather quickly. This leave no lingering smell and no chance of second hand smoke.
Luckily, I like to take things apart, I removed the cartridge from the vaporizer and added a couple drops of Spearmint flavored Tasty Puff into the cartridge, allowed enough time for it to dry and put it all back together. The nice cool Spearmint flavor made it like menthol without the sensation of menthol. Ever since that little experiment, it has made it easier to smoke these Personal e cigs!
Some slogans are also created to comment on the cigarette making companies, so that people realize that they are spending their hard-earned money on these companies as well as spoiling their own health.
To understand hypnosis, we need to look into the workings of the human mind. Initially, smoking is not a pleasurable experience, but the subconscious mind tricks the person into thinking it is for various reasons. Maybe because all their friends are doing it, to give an impression of being grown-up, or they think it is cool. Once smokers rationalize enough, they begin to believe they really do like to smoke. While under hypnosis, positive suggestions are given to the subconscious to help create new patterns of behavior and make the smoker stop craving cigarettes.
