I'm celebrating rwo months now off of regular cigarettes!! I have switched to E-Cigs (electronic cigarettes). For those that aren't familiar with them, they provide virtually the same smoking experience you get with cigarettes without the nasty cancer causing stuff. The "smoke" you exhale is actually water vapour and is odorless and harmless to others. It's a great alternative to smoking. The liquid used is available in many flavours and comes with or without nicotine. You can "vape" anywhere, though some airlines have banned it (presumably because it looks to much like smoking and may alarm other passengers). It a lot cheaper than smoking. If you are a smoker I would definitely suggest you look into it. Government agencies are reluctant to approve them, based on insufficient studies. But I look at it this way....you know cigarettes can kill you.. E-cigs, without all the harmful chemicals, have to be better.
Congrats Brewster!! I've been off the weeds now for five years. My only regret was that I didn't get off sooner.
great job guys i celebrate one year next sunday i stopped the day the saints won the superbowl best decision i ever made had i known of e cigs - perhaps i could have quit many years ago rob
Took me a few minutes to figure it out but I quit October 26th, 2007. That's the date we left for a trip to Austraila. Figured that being out of my normal environment and patterns would make it easier. That's 3 years and 3 months ago... I still reach for them every once in a while. Don't know if shifting to e-cigs would have been something I would have done. If you're off the nicotine why not break the pattern? But whatever works for you. Jamie
Hey Deb, Brewster is out of town right now.. so I will find the info on where he gets them and the liquid you need.. I think he is 5 or 6 months on it now.. it really works for him.. I am going to do it as well but not untill after holidays.. cause one drink and I am smoking. not sure how much you know or have seen but you can see all about them on youtube..
Gpd help me I need help with this quitting... we are very close to going back to champax... bugs me cause I don't want to do drugs... ecig sounds good however when I seen someone with one they had it with them all the time and I wonder... but may be it would be worth it... I really want to live along time so I can go back to Mexico.. many many times..
E-cigs personally... great if they help you get over smoking. E-cigs while traveling... if you are traveling with them please take them out of your carry on luggage and present them to security separately as they look very suspect on x-ray. Just FYI
