I've taken the first step to quitting as it's stating to take it's toll on my lungs! After about a month of research and questions, I've purchased the electronic cig with serious doubt that it'll replace the real thing... I've tried everything in the past and the only way is to get as close as I can to the cessation of smoking and cut down the nicotine dosage gradually. Let me tell you, this thing rocks. I bought 3 different dosages of cartridges high, medium and practically none which will take about 6 months to complete. This thing is amazing... actually has computer components, real smoke(water vapor) and I can't tell the difference if I'm smoking a real cig or not. I hope this does the trick. So far, I'm satisfied... Still getting the nicotine without the dangerous chems and carcinogens and can actually smoke indoors... I bought the Marlboro flavor and am going to go all the way with this one. Been smoking since 12y.o.... I'm 50.... My only chance at making this work as I've tried EVERYTHING.. even the prescription which made me sick as a freakin' dog! I'll let you die-hard smokers know how I feel in a week! I'm gonna save soop much money on cigs and no more smoke breath or everything else that comes with smoking!




It's advertised all over the radio and TV and even CNN did a report on it.. It is causing troubles though as it still can have as much nicotine as a real butt and it actually comes in a million flavors which is very attractive to kids. I just picked plain ole boring Marlboro because that'll make it real. Some peeps only buy the high concentrate nicotine Liquid bottles which completely defeats the purpose.. I bought 3 ($25.00 each but got one for free) eachLiquid bottle is about 5 cartons of cigs! I got enough for a year and it also comes with 3 free cartridges! (each cartridge is about 5 packs of cigs) If you don't buy the extra Liquid bottles, it's about 80 bucks! What's most amazing is a nice thick, harmless "vapor" like smoke comes out and it really does mimic the real thing! Lotsa coverage on this lately and FDA refuses to approve it because it entices a lot of people who wouldn't consider smoking in the first place because th flavors are awesome: Maple Syrup, Chocolate, Peppermint, Blueberry, etc.... so you can see how this would attract kids...

So what made you want to quit smoking other than its taking a toll on your lungs?? I have smoked for prob like 17 years and quit , and its been almost a year with no smokes and I quit almost cold, would only have one or two a day then got down to just one then sometimes none at all. but it worked for me and it was hard.. I still get the urge to smoke but the money i save from not buying them is great cause I can use it towards things im not burning up unless its gas LOL... good luck and yes I do miss it but I sure as hell dont miss that smell and nasty breath and all the other crap it does to ya.... I wish ya the best and hopefully you are stong enough to quit....

I have sooo many things I need to accomplish yet! I have a new band project that's gonna take off like wildfire in a few months..I go to bed and wake up wheezing... I have a very physical job and also lug a ton of equipment whenever I gig and I'm out of breath too early... I'm super active and I don't like what I'm imagining for the future.. I've seen my dad sowly die of cancer because ofsmoking.... I had kids later in life so they're only 12 and 14.... I don't wanna be that old sick fuck that cant do anything with them.... I have a wife that's 13 years younger than me and we are very active... she don't smoke, drink, drug or nothing... I don't wanna be a burden on her and the kids... I'm still in great shape and I wail on the axe and tear up the roads on my 10R... I don't wanna lose that due to my stupidity because of smoking... I want to have fun and this lung shit is scaring me...

yeah well Id say its time to quit then with all the weezing and whatnot, yeah the way I look at smoking now is its just not worth it and esp now that the price has gone up so high WOW I was at the store not long ago and saw a price for some of like $50 a carton.... crazy well good luck I hope you do quit, I know its hard but it is possible if i can do it anyone can LOL... I was a die hard smoker also.... not anymore thankfully ....

Thanks for the info.

I saw these once at a mall but I was with a chick that didn't know that I smoked so I didn't stop to check them out.

Maybe I'll cruise by and check them out now.

Looking forward to more feedback from you as to how they work.

I swear for me it is more the act of smoking than the nicotine. I know that is part of it too but if I'm around non-smokers, I can go without pretty easily.

When I have time on my hands, I tend to smoke.

i'm in the process of trying to quit. I buy a buddy a pack once a week and bum from him.

I can go without a cig when I am home no problem, but when I go to work with all my other smoker friends its too difficult.

Thanks for the info.

I read a study a while back that the "ACT" of smoking is a very big part of the addiction. This is why people eat more because they have to put something in their mouth.

When I have too much times on my hands I start jonesin' as well.

You wouldn't have the link to this same product do you? I looked on google and there are tons of other kinds but not the one you have posted here. Thanks.

Best of luck to ya. People are addicted on different levels...I suppose it depends on genetics, body chemistry, etc. I smoked for 40 years and quit about 6 months ago using Chantix. Gave me BEEEEEZARRRE dreams, but I made it through the 60's, so I rather enjoyed the vivid and wild dreams:lol:

I know guys that only smoke when they drink on weekends.....maybe 10 cigs all weekend.....Hell, I smoked that much while taking a shower:crackup: But, I just don't see how they do that.

Anyway, again, good luck with quitting.:thumbsup:
