of quitting smoking. :cds:


I bought one of the electronic cigarettes and so far, I am on day 3.... I haven't killed anyone yet but I am not promising that I won't in the future. :coffee:

I used smoking as a calming agent :)jet:) ... now I am really going to be a hot mess. :jameo:

You should still get your nicotine and the action of a cigarette, so maybe it won't be so bad. Good luck! :cheers:

:huggy: Good luck to you! I quit 13 years ago July 1.

I actually used the "scare the hell out of me" method. My aunt, who was only 9 years older than me (with a very widespread history of heart trouble in my mother's family) had a heart attack at age 50.

Scared the hell out of me, because I was only 41, and my own children were still pretty young. So I quit. (I had been unable to quit using the patch or Wellbutrin.)

I'm wishing you luck WR, and congratulations Bann! The longest I ever quit was 6 months. I did it with the patch. My mistake was just having one cig at a Batchelorette Party, and it went down hill from there. I admire anyone who quits. Hang in there WR.

How does ingesting nicotine end an addiction to nicotine?

It doesn't. What it does do however is keep others from inhaling your smoke, keep you from inhaling tar and all that other crap that's found in cigarettes, and cut out the god-awful smell.

I'm determined to move to an e-cig as soon as this last carton is done. I'm tired of hacking up a lung. :frown:

I tried the Blu, made me cough my head off (more than with regular cigs), no matter how low the nicotine was, I ended up quitting cold turkey.

wr, good luck, I know it's tough, but you'll get through this.

Buck: Hey, I stopped smoking cigarettes.
Cindy Russell: Oh, good.
Buck: Isn't that something? I'm on to cigars now. I'm on to a five-year plan. I eliminated cigarettes, then I go to cigars, then I go to pipes, then I go to chewing tobacco, then I'm on to that nicotine gum.

which brand did you go with? I bought the blu. I took one drag, coughed until I almost passed out. The smell almost made me puke. I know cigarettes stink too, but it was like a chemical smell. :dead:

I really, really wanted to try this as well. I was very disappointed, especially when I went with the one that was more expensive.

Right now I am using Blu... I ordered "V2 Cigs" for my husband and I... they are supposed to be the most "realistic."

:ohwell:

I know you probably spent $50 or more on that carton but there's no better time to quit than "now" :smile:

Good luck

I quit for 6 years and started smoking again shortly after moving here. I think it was the stress, etc. I really don't want to smoke anymore. All I have to do now is pick a date and do it again
