I recently started hearing radio ads (I live in Miami) where the ad talks about getting a "free" trial of electronic cigarettes that will help you quit smoking tobacco. Now keep in mind: most legitimate retailers do not make such claims that the e cig will help you quit smoking. I did not even bother to call them since if you know anything about economics, there is no company in the world that can give away a free "free" product and still make a profit. Eventually, they will run out of money.

What's the catch? The catch is you have to pay something which they disguise as a shipping fee then you need to sign up for a reoccurring fee to receive their cartridges and they do not contain nicotine.

This is a noble attempt at making money and falsely advertising the electronic cigarette as a "quitting aid". The FDA has not approved the electric cigarette as a quitting aid so I am really not sure how they get away with this. The radio ads featuring these products are bogus. I even heard one where they use the voice of a little girl asking her "daddy" to quit.

Shameless!
