Emma Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 How helpful did you find the e-cig? I've been thinking of switching from real ones to electronic for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobezilla Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 My mom has just quit smoking. Shes gone two weeks now without a cigarette, but she invested in an e-cigarette. She says she still feels the need to buy cigarettes but then remembers, oh wait I don't smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julieanne Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 When you smell smoke nearby does it interest you at all? I know people who have quit but will get a good whiff of it when someone nearby is smoking, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I smoked for 17 years and quit in October 2011. All I used was nicorette gum and that worked great for me. I chewed the gum for about 3 months and that was all. I thought it would have been much harder to quit but it wasn't too bad. Now every time someone at work goes out to smoke the smell really bothers me. And if I go to a bar that allows smoking I can't stay for long and I have to wash all my clothes when I come back. It was only last year that our state banned smoking but they exempted bars and casinos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tan J P Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 the first time i walked past someone smoking,which was only 3 days after i'd stopped,the smell made me bawk,lol Emma,i know i couldn't have done it without my e-cig,i would definitely tell your Mum to try them i order online from a company called Freshcig....delivery is quick,about 2 days and you get a 10% discount thereafter i suppose they help because you still feel like you are actually smoking,but i started off with the high nicotine and down to the low now and only use it as and when not every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applebear Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Good job! I quit using a ecig too....been over a year now. For those who are looking at the ecig, remember it is not a quit smoking aide, but more of a 'healthier alternative' to smoking. I started out on a high nicotine level and then gradually worked my way down to zero. I still feel the need for the habit of smoking, so I still use the ecig. Research the brand, as not all ecigs are the same and many find they get one that doesn't work well and they wind up back to smoking. I do still get the urge to smoke at times, but I remind myself I hated the smell and cost. I went from spending 65 bucks a week to 20-30 a MONTH.

ponder85 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Never smoked, but quit dipping July 30. Well... Quit pouches anyway. I dipped a can every two days. Now I just do long cut. It's very strange., as addicted to pouches as I was, I have hardly any addiction at all to long cut. I might go through a can a month, if that. Usually one pinch a day, and some days no dip at all. Tan, good luck. That's a big accomplishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeonah Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Having smoked since I was 18 I to decided to quit last September. I used Zyban. Absolutely brilliant. You take one a day for the first six days and on the seventh day you stop smoking. After that you take one tablet twice a day. I had 50 tablets in total and I still have 40 left and haven't touched a cigarette since. Unfortunately I have this annoying thing with my throat now and am continuously clearing my throat. Something similar to having a frog in your throat but permanently. Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does anybody recommend nicotine patches? My mom has been trying to quit smoking for years, but she's always gone back. She says it helps her relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Congratulations on quitting, I quit December 2011 but started again Will quit again soon but I find I can only do it one way, cold turkey with no aids. I just find that I need to convince myself that I don't want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I really didn't want to quit and I used the gum, that worked great for me but I've never used the patches Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
