E-Cig Success Rate?

[nitewriter]

Spikey- This is not a scientific poll.

I started it just out of curiosity for those of us that are here now. I know that NRT's in general have a low success rate and I also know there are others that have given up vaping for various reasons, and are not around to offer their input. I was just curious how many here had completely quit or cut down using e-cigs.

I am amazed at the results so far! I am also proud of all of us who have eliminated as much as 1 cigarette from our lives!

I agree completely... it is amazing that so many people who tried so many times and ways to quit analogs for SO many years were able to do it! (Myself included!)

I was just putting out some suggestions on ways to get better data so that maybe when they start doing better research on it.. we will already have some of it done. Maybe I will write up some research proposals and see if I can get some of the suppliers to contribute some finances and we can get IRC board approval somewhere and we could do the studies ourselves? I wouldn't mind doing the usage/quitting studies.. but we need an MD to do the health effects/secondhand effects studies.

This is an outstanding result... However my concern lies in the safety of our alternative... It has proven to be "the" alternative...true...Yes it most likely is a lesser of an evil, but we don't even know that.. we are lab rats in a cage. for all we know one tiny fragment of the chrome from the coil gets into your lungs and your causing cancer worse then smoking it. We just dont know.

Started vaping in February 2008 and come May I will have been completely analog free for a year ! Like others, I had no intention to quit, but it just happened and I'm overjoyed and grateful for it !

I'm already anticipating with much glee the effect being analog free for one year is going to have on my health and life insurance premiums !

Cheers,

There is no doubt that these devices are great for getting off tobacco. As long as i have ecig supplies i don't have that need for an analog. Recenty after a month of vaping with no analogs at all i run out of supplies and was back on the analogs after 2 days.
The result i'd like to see is how many people have been able to go to 0nic. That is my long term goal, i'm already vaping a lot less than when i started. Also i have begun mixing down my juice so i guess i'm vaping probably 9mg nic instead of 18 or 24. I can see myself getting down to the 0 level eventually.

Quit after 48 years heavy smoking. Not only quit. Quit instantly. Quit without intending to. Took up e-cig to save money. Analogs £6 (GBP) per pack. Consumption was 30-40 per day. Day e-cig arrived, consumption of analogs => Zero.

I quite unintentionally quit analogs, pretty much at my first vape. I never meant to - I just thought it looked like a neat gadget that might help out in no-smoking situations.

I've been a heavy pipe smoker for 10-15 years, and about 15 years before that on cigarettes.

It's not just an acceptable substitute - it's better. Quite simply, it's how smoking ought to be.

Two months and counting. The wife is very impressed. I tried an analog about three days ago and was disgusted. The taste was horrific. I don't think I'll ever go back. Y?
