Electronic cigarettes.
« on: April 27, 2013, 08:10:22 pm »
I recently started using  an electronic cigarette to cut down on the real ones. It's been working pretty well, I've gone from about 2 packs a day to less than half a pack a day. I know it's kind of like trading a crutch for a cane, but at least it's a start.It's also a lot cheaper.

I've seen the advertisements, what exactly is an electronic cigarette. Does it still have nicotin?

 I tried one of those for a while.  It helped cut back, but I never bought the refill.

There are several different types. I'm using the kind that you can refill. Basically it's an atomizer attached to a rechargeable battery. the battery heats the elements in the atomizer and creates a vapor from the liquid. You can get the liquid with different strengths of nicotine.

I've seen ads for E-cigs on some of the PTC sites I participate in.  I often wondered if they actually worked/helped or not.  Thanks for the info.

I have tried the electronic cigarettes. I suppose I didn't get a strong enough concentration of nicotine because I started craving the real cigarettes. The electronic ones are great though. You do save a lot of money with them and you don't smell bad. Plus you can smoke them anywhere because they are not real cigarettes. Blu cigarettes has a website where you can sign up and get reward points so you can get a discount or free items. It's a good thing to look into!

Just a little update. It's been almost two weeks since I started this thread and things are going pretty well. I was holding steady at about half a pack of real cigs a day But I have only had three today and it's almost bedtime now so I don't think i'll smoke another one tonight. Thank you all for your interest and support. :D

Well done! From 2 packs a day to only 3 cigarettes!!!! I'm also on the electronic cigs and it's okay, but I don't really like the taste. It did make me cut back, so I suppose it is worth it. I used to smoke about 15 cigs a day and am now down to 5.

Congratulations! I had very good success with the ecigs. Sadly I have a  :BangHead: feeling about myself, because when we moved last time I was out of refills, so I started buying regular cigarettes again. Just like that, I was hooked again.

But, this month my husband and I are going to start using the ecigs again.
