E-Cig Success Rate?

[Debra]

I smoked for 35 years, the last 10 years of that I was smoking 3 packs a day.
I haven't smoked an analog since the day I got my DSE901 (just over a month ago.)
Funny thing is, I wasn't even trying to quit smoking! As a smoker, I just thought e-cigs would be a nice addition, something new to try, but certainly not something that would replace analogs.....but it DID! EASILY!

Took me 5 days to quit a 40 year addiction, never before have I ever came close to quitting.

Still going strong with my GreenCig and loving life with it. I have only about a month and half in but I have checked it out and tobacco cigarettes taste like garbage to me now and I have no fear of going back to them.

Im happily quit day one. A bunch of people at work seem to be aware of ecig but either havent used them or didnt quit with them, they still smoke analogs. Not sure why it works for some and not others. For me the big satisfier is not the nicotine, but the vapor. Must have massive clouds or I start itching for a smoke. With PTB and frequent topping off, passthrus and battery mods, I have been kept quite happy. Currently most satified when using 510 atty on the vp2 battery.

The 80%+ number here is incredibly impressive, but I guess to get a true comparison to traditional NRTs we'd need to know what percentage of people are still off analogs after a year. I know it's only been a few weeks since I quit, but I feel very confident that a year from now I'll still be analog free. Whether or not I'll still be vaping, though, I have no idea.

I have been cigarette free for 50 days. I hope that I have done with analogs for ever.

I started using e-cigs the day I got it and haven't smoked an analog since. The big difference for me with this compared to the other nic products is that feel comfortable being around smokers and feel no temptation whatsoever to have one. I am a photographer in L.A. and I'm always around smokers, almost constantly, and haven't felt even once that I wanted to have one. I don't have plans to quit e-cigs in the near future but I can see it coming down the road. I feel that once I completely separate myself from tobacco cigarettes it'll be easier for me to quit nicotine, when that time comes.

Also, 80% is amazing! I'll bet that actual results are a bit lower due simply to that the poll is on an e-cig forum, but i'm sure its still over 50% easily, and thats a hell of a lot better than other methods. I think the forum aspect, by nature, is a level of support for us which aids in the success rate, which is a great thing.

I wouldn't imagine that this is the success rate for everyone who ever bought a starter kit. But I think we can safely say that this is a good statistic for "regular users". And yes, I agree that support here is what helps us become regular users. I had my unit for several months and only used it occassionally -- not necessarily where it was not permitted to smoke, but more experimentally, such as when my friends were going outside to smoke the real thing. I made a conscious decision to give it a go substituting my e-cigarette for all my tobacco cigarettes. I think I will start a new thread on this topic.

I havent had a analog cigarette in 3 months, everyone is impressed. I had been a smoker for over 20 years (1 to 1/2 packs per day). My nonsmoking boyfriend is very happy for me! My old smoking room was remodeled and now is our family room. I feel like it is a gift to share with my boyfriend and his son, we sit in it together and watch tv. I can't help but smile, because of the ecigarette I can spend more quailty time with my new family!
