[EastRam]

Do you use them?

Have you tried them?

Are they harmful?

I got some coming in the mail in a few days, I will let you know.

The time has come to quit for myself and also my daughter who in a short time will be wondering why daddy keeps sneaking off.

Tried the Blus. Seems to be like a cig without the ole carbon monoxide.

I think they could be beneficial to anyone who wants to quit.

I am not a smoker. Never have been. But I suspect breaking the routine is just as difficult as the nicotine.

Good Luck kicking the nicotine guys, it's the devil.

I know it's not easy, but you can do it. Be proactive about it if you can,,, don't wait until you are forced to do it.

Quit smoking cigs over 4 years ago,,, and you can too.

quitting smoking is easy.. I have done it 100's of times.

I use the Njoy e-cig often... in no way is this brand a quit smoking aid, but it eliminates all the crap you inhale when smoking. Down to about 3-4 cigs a day, and 1 e-cig about every 2-3 days. Basically down to buying 2 packs a week and 2 ecigs

just like using a vape !!!

Nobody likes a quitter.

But. I have tried earlier versions of those things. Maybe they got better, but the ones I tried used to leak fluid onto your lips. I guess it was pure nicotine or whatever, but man it was awful. They are a whole lot *better* for you than regular cigarettes, but ... meh. They kinda suck too.

My best advice would be to sack up and go cold turkey. If I can do it, anyone can do it.
And I mean ANYONE.

I tried them once years ago, it didn't really seem like much to me, but it could have been because they were somewhat new at that point.. Plus I used to smoke Marlboro Reds.. The guy who had them said they were good though, he was using them to quit smoking.

I quit cold turkey, last day in the Army was my last smoke. My buddy drove me to the airport in the morning, we both smoked on the way and that was that.

I'm on the "cold turkey" bandwagon. I quit cold turkey when my wife got pregnant with our first child 24 years ago. I used peppermints and sunflower seeds.

My wife has tried the nicotine gum and ecigs. The ecigs worked for her for a few months but she fell off that wagon too. I guess you really must want to quit to make any method work for you.

I used to buy a boxes of toothpicks and soak them in peppermint oil.
It kinda took the craving away, and it satisfied that whole hand-to-mouth repetition thing.

who said anything about quitting?

I was going to use them in conjunction with smokes.

Quit 18 years ago, cold turkey, in the end though cold turkey applies to all situations, one day you are a smoker the next you aren't FROM whatever level you cold turkey ,it's still cold turkey.

I had stopped for 7 years once before that and a full year twice.

I quit because I didn't want my kids to learn that bad habit from me or use me as an excuse.
To my wife's chagrin I did insist on teaching them to curse ,cuz when you do that poorly you look stupid,which sad to say I think e-cigs "look" .
I think and it's JMO they are a surrender to your inability to quit.

Gum, toothpicks ,seeds are great since they attend to oral anxiety aspects.
FWIW though I don't think nicotine is the hard part, it's the endorphins that're the real bitch.
When you inhale smoke the cough suppress comes from endorphin which you get a shot of every inhale,(same as a mini orgasm) not easy to break that "addiction" so you might want to jerk the gerkin
when you want a cig :tooth:

Agreed with some here, cold turkey is thee only way to truly quit. I smoked for 13 years while quitting a good half dozen times in that span.... longest ever was 6 months. But would always sneak one in when a friend had one... or bum them at work... or buy a pack and throw half of them away.

Nothing worked until I just one day said I quit. Was three November 29ths ago... was an anniversary present to my wife so was no way I could go back on that promise lol.

And I still get intense cravings... in fact last week wife and I went out to eat... was a great meal... you know how awesome a smoke is after a great meal... stepped outside and got a big whiff of someone smoking outside. I could literally have taken hers out of her hands and did one long drag to the butt and not given it a second thought lmao. They will always be there but cold turkey is the only way to make them manageable in the long run.

It passes Psycho ,it does .
After I quit I got trapped in an office every day with a chain smoker for six weeks,all the old symptoms came back and I hated it.
I can handle a cigar now and then but I have NO desire to smoke cigarettes in fact I look upon those who do with disdain.

I remember how much I hated people telling me I should quit,,, encouraging me to quit,,,, offering to help me quit. Any of it. So I don't want to do that to anyone else.

I could only quit when I decided to do it. I'm not like that with other things though.


Anyway, I quit cold turkey too. Both times.

I quit once for over a year back in the late 90's. You guys will appreciate this,,, I picked them back up again during the NFL playoffs in 99.

I finally quit again almost 5 years ago. Done for good.



At the rate things are going people are about to be forced to smoke the e-cigs. There's almost no where left in public that smoking is even permitted anymore. Hell, I think I heard that smoking was banned in your personal vehicle in some places.

The e-cigs might even allow you to partake in places that you haven't been able to in years. There's got to be huge value in that.

There are places that are discussing (or already have) banning smoking inside your house.
