    Thats hard as more than one fits the bill.

    I did not start e-cigs to stay away from tobacco completely.

    I wanted to be able to enjoy a cup of coffee indoors when it was cold wet and windy outside.

    I also wanted to cut down on the amount I was smoking in the evenings.

    Straight away I went from 40 analogue cigs a day to 3 , after that it went to 1 or 2 sometimes none.

    The last one I smoked made me feel ill so I put it out.

    Have not been tempted since.

    The only rule I made when my e-cig arrived was that I would not smoke analogues in the house anymore.

    No stressing about stopping .

    Routine habit fits the bill .
    Nicotine was also a big factor in the decision to start vaping, if there was no nicotine juice available I know I would not have been brave enough.
    Vapour is also on my list as you feel like you are getting something not just sucking air.

    For me I would have to say that my cravings are very much satisfied by vaping. I haven't had a smoke since I got my e-cig.

    Definitely for me it's the fact that esmoking fully satisfies my cravings for cigarettes. Whenever I've tried to quit smoking before I've always had those cravings no matter what alternative I tried. With this I had no intention of trying to quit smoking, but I have. It's a little miracle.

    My e-cig definitely satisfies the cravings.

    Default I agree

    I have tried countless times to quit smoking.

    I always miss the touchy feely of the cigarette in my fingers.

    I always miss the smoke as I puff it out into the room.

    I am weak and have no will power .......

    with the e-cigs,
    I get it all and I am healthier,
    so is everyone around me.

    AFTER 45 YEARS -I have quit. I am thrilled.

    31 days today since I smoked a fire stick.

    Same with me. I had no intentions of quitting and yet here I sit, stunned to be a non analog smoker and very, very mild no-nic vaper. The smell of real cigs makes me quite nauseous now. I think the flavours of E cigs helped me a great deal, getting a throat hit and a delightful sweet aftertaste is incomparably nicer than smoking analog cigs. In fact as soon as I got into E cigs I wondered how folks could actively opt for tobacco flavours of any kind (different strokes of course! but personally I was delighted I could get my hit without the ciggy stench!)

    I think the main aspect of smoking analogs I was genuinely addicted to was the hand repetition and visible exhalation which is why quit smoking devices were useless for me and why I can actually be satisfied with just a throat hit and no nic. I have turned a lot of people onto E cigs, at least 5 friends and all have either quit the analogs or cut down massively to 1 or 2 per day. None of them had any intentions of quitting at the introduction of the e cig. Its quite incredible really.

    Right now I could leave my E cigs where they sit and never puff on anything again but I can't do that, that are too beautiful! Haha

    Default All of the above

    I bought my dse901 with the intention of quitting tobacco completely. I'm now into my 6th week as a committed e-smoker. Had one minor mishap when i forgot to charge my batteries in week 2, but that's it.

    kev.
