E-Cig Success Rate?

[olddaddy]

WOW! 78.18% out of 87 votes so far have COMPLETELY QUIT with e-cigs! I wonder if any of the NRT's have that kind of success rate?

I think it's great the another 20.69% have cut down too!

I started this out of curiosity, but I'm really surprised at the numbers!

I am amazed by these responses also.

I just started a week ago and smoking over 2 packs a day, now down to under 5 a day. I have been told by a doctor that a couple a smokes a day isn't really smoking so I consider myself as having quit for a week.

I tried 4 drags off an analog 5 days after starting e-cigs and it was like smoking a dirty sock! It was absolute yuk, yuk! I haven't had the desire to pick up another since! I smoked for almost 30 years and have been tobacco free for 4 weeks this Tuesday.

My father who had smoked all his life (he's 84) has been tobacco free 4 weeks this Thursday! That is a miracle right there! He always enjoyed smoking and figured why quit since he was so old. Now he doesn't feel like he has, nor do I, because all the aspects of our habit are being satisfied with the e-cigs.

I still slip and have one...or two, at most three. But honestly, I get more satisfaction out of my e-cig.

I've gone the most three days without a smoke. I need to buckle down and commit totally to vaping. Otherwise, I'm afraid, I could end up right back at smoking analogs, nasty as they are.

[Sparky]

Haven't touched an analog since I got my PeeWee and have never looked back. I gotta say...I feel like I could completely quit soon...but for now I just love my e-cig!!!

after snoking 40 cigs a day for 45 years,
I started using my e-cig,
on day 5 of using my e-cig
I smoked my last tobacco cigarette.

I had a puff on my son's fag one day
around a month ago,
and nearly threw up, it tasted disgusting.

I sit with people who are smoking real tobacco cigs
and they smell awful,
I have no desire to have one,
I have found my Bliss,

I LUV MY 801 USB MANUAL SWITCH,

Bless you David Yang......
I am smoke free forever.

I wish gov agencies would take notice of our success rates of quitting burning tobacco.

I am completely an e-smoking advocate. I quit after less than a week with an e-cig.. BUT


We cannot look at the numbers in this poll and be amazed. If someone is still posting on this site.. it is likely that this is because e-cigs were a success for them. People who were not successful and no longer posting here. If we wanted an accurate poll like this.. we would need to get email addresses from distributors and write emails to people who have BOUGHT e-cigs and see how many still use them EXCLUSIVELY and even THEN... we would need to consider that only people who WANT to quit analogs or feel they are a hassle would buy an e-cig in the FIRST place! We would also have to consider how many got defective products or didn't know how to use them and gave up. And so... it would be quite difficult to do an accurate study on how effective e-cigs are. Just my 2 cents.

I've cut down from a pack of analogs a day to about 3-4...getting close to kickin' them all together!

I think you make a good point there Spikey. I'll bet there's a bunch who started vaping, found it wasn't for them, and just never came back. It certainly doesn't work for everyone.

On the other hand, there's probably a bunch who it has worked well for but have moved on with life and don't really visit here anymore to respond. So who knows? But that is a good point.

I've cut down from 40/50 a day to 6/8 smokes a day. If and when I find an electronic product that will last most of the day I think I will be able to quit altogether. The main problem is the batteries, penstyle is the best I've tried so far.

[ritalee76]

Within three days of getting my first e-cig, I was through with analogues

Never thought I would say that as smoking is like part of my identity or something! LOL My boss still can't believe it!

Went from smoking 2-3 packs a day on average to none at all. Never intended to quit by the way, just got one so I could "smoke" at the airport for my next biz trip Ended up quitting regular old nasties completely by accident!

People used to ask me why I wouldn't even TRY to quit smoking... my response was always "I'm no quitter! I'll never quit!" etc, etc...

Feel much MUCH better already and its only been about 10 days!
