Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Please let me know if you have any questions. I've left you a message at Talk:Marketing of electronic cigarettes; I won't be watching here, so please reply there. If you write {{u|HLHJ}} into my edit, it will ping me a notification and get my attention. HLHJ (talk) 15:36, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia, 124.106.142.116! Thank you for your contributions. I am QuackGuru and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page.

This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.
