Electronic cigarette.?

soapy · 18th September 2011, 17:05

Due to me now being 40 i have decided to try and stop smoking again

.

I smoke about 15 a day and after talking with one of the lads at work who has been off real cigarette's for 6 months now using one of these and really enthuses about it i also would like to try one of these e cigarette's as i am hoping it will replicate the feel of a real cigarette without the nasty chemicals of the real thing.

Amongst the smokers or ex smokers on here has anyone tried one and how did you find them.?

Thanks Tricia i have been to the stop smoking service before and tried patches but they did'nt work for me interupted sleep etc also looked at the tablet's champix and zyban too many side effects.

So will try the e cigarette as it most effectively mimics the act of smoking without the side effects associated with it.

Sounds like your sis in law is doing well.

the trouble with all adds to stop moking ,is they wont work unless your willpower is 100%, dont matter what you use if your not 100%committed to stopping then you wont succeed. i packed up for 5 weeks then i went to a smokers clinic ,it was rn by a non smoker and i have never heard so much rubbish spoken about smoking ,that it wound me up so much that when i left i had to buy some fags

,i have in the past stopped for 5 years then started again ,but as i say its all down to just determined you are to quit ....

I've been smoke free for 5 Years

I smoked For 15 years and about 10-15 a day in the end I got fed up smoking and just cut down and went cold turkey.
I started by seeing how long in a day I could go without a smoke each day trying to go longer than the prvious day for the 1st week os so I was getting to lunchtime then till dinner time and before long I was getting till 9-10 at night and standing on the door step with my head spinning decided enough was enough and that was it never touch a smoke since.

It worked for me but you really need to want to give up a guy at work has tried everything from patches and pills to mouth sprays but always ends up smoking within a few days.

Good luck with whatever you try and I hope you succeed.

never having smoked i always found it strange why people would subject themselves to this addiction , i was however reading an article a while back where it was stated that it was easier to give up heroin addiction than an addiction to nicotine .

Ive seen friends and relatives go to pieces for the need of a smoke .

Good luck OP.

Friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer in one of his lungs.

Had surgery and the lung removed.
He took up smoking one of those plastic things for about 6 months but the craving for a real cigarette took over.
Two years later the cancer started up in his remaing lung and he wasted away down to about 6 stone before he died a painful death
Terrible thing to happen to anybody.

Give it up !!!!!!
