Bought a starter kit on thursday, lost one already by getting black out drunk last thursday (ran into dlew12 that night at ale house...good people)

Anyway, its a good alternative to the real thing which I've been trying to quit for like 2 years but obviously failed.

Not sure of any side effects if any. Ill ask my Dr tomorrow what she think since I'm going anyway. Will report back.

Never used them, but I've advertised for the companies as part of my business. I had to do my homework on them, and I definitely suggest you do the same.

I'm not saying it's safe or not safe, but there is a ton of debate on the issue and you should make sure you're making an educated decision. There's been talk for a while that they may not even be legal soon but I haven't kept up to date on that issue.

What kind of electric cigs? My mom just got one that is just water vapor. Looks like she's really smoking. Is this the same thing? She just uses it when she goes to restaurants where there is no smoking.

Seems Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). Why don't you just stop smoking?

Cause I've been trying that for 2 years now and it hasn't worked out too well

Have you tried not buying any? It's not like biting your nails where you always have them right there on your hands.

That's an even better idea. I never thought about that. That would make it much easier.

Yeah, that's what I tell my mom. My dad smoked for 15 years and just quit one day. And that was about 10 years ago.

I quit by sd's method and inspired by hooking up with a girl who'd been smoking when for whatever reason I hadn't been. It was pretty easy.

I've tried sd's method. Doesn't work

Try switching to an all natural cig with NO ADDITIVES like Natural Spirits. Less nicotine and none of the other addictive stuff they put in the regular ones makes it easier to go cold turkey after a few months.

Have you tried only buying cigarettes that are disgusting and make you barf and you hate their guts?

Is this like an alcoholic taking those pills that make them barf if they have a drink?

Pretty sure none of them are "just water vapor" even though thats what they'd like you to believe. If it looks like she's blowing out smoke, that would be propylene glycol which is what is used in fog machines and it's not yet known whether inhaling it is safe.

Sounds like I'm going to die, soon, then. I took some "drags" off of it, cause she has one that tastes like coffee, and it was weird.

It sounds like you have a fantastic relationship with your mother.

It's not as good as my relationship with your mother.

Mikeyis4dcats · « **Reply #19 on:** October 26, 2010, 08:18:28 PM »

my brother had been using one and it worked very well for him. He hadn't smoked in over a year and was weaning off the nicotine content.

If you feel like quitting smoling but you also want to go a little crazy, have suicidal thoughts, and wacked out dreams, you should try Chantix, cause it does all that stuff for you.

Time to bump this thread. I'd like to give quitting another serious go. I tried switching to dip, ya' know, to ease off and stuff. Turns out dip is awesome. I tried the Fin tobacco flavored e-cig, but it just tastes like rotten chocolate. So, anybody have some good ideas for quitting cold turkey, or gradually quitting?

'taterblast · « **Reply #22 on:** November 05, 2013, 03:00:22 PM »

tobacco is dusgusting

Brock Landers · « **Reply #23 on:** November 05, 2013, 03:01:07 PM »

So, you replaced one disgusting habit with an equally and possibly more disgusting habit. At this point it seems like your real motivation to quit is so people stop pointing out how disgusting your habits are.

No, not really. I just thought it might be easier to quit chewing tobacco than it would be to quit cigs. I was wrong, and in retrospect, this plan really had no chance of succeeding.
