| Re: Is the e-ciggie for quitting? Hi, just a quick question to you longer term users.... Have woken this morning with a fairly dry, mildly sore throat, slightly worrying as didn't use the e-cig that much yesterday as charging batteries. Is this something you all found? did it continue or is it something your body gets use to? Thanks, sure these questions get boring for you all after a while :roll: Your support is really appreciated |

| Re: Is the e-ciggie for quitting? A rather usual symptom when you start e-smoking. Lasted about a week, maybe 1 1/2, for me; and then it slowly slipped away.

| Re: Is the e-ciggie for quitting? I experienced this - depending on how much I e-smoked that day would be the result of how irritated my throat was the next morning. I still occasionally get this... |

| Re: Is the e-ciggie for quitting? Me too, especially with menthols. But, it's no worse than the sore throat I used to get from smoking too much, or smoking regulars instead of lights. And no more waking up coughing. So I'm definitely coming out ahead.

| Re: Is the e-ciggie for quitting? There are quite a few posts on this in the health section. Basically, your e-smoking is placing propylene glycol on your throat. That's a humectant and the effect is to dry out your throat. If your bedroom air overnight has less humidity than the inside of your mouth (a very good bet unless you live in Pogo's swamp), then moisture is drawn from your body to the PG-coated throat, and exhaled. Result? Dry throat in the morning. Sore. Many report this to be only a transient effect, however. Keep e-smoking and see if it passes. If it doesn't, be sure to brush and gargle before going to bed. Or drink something. Just don't make an e-puff the last thing you do before turning out the light. |

| Re: Is the e-ciggie for quitting? Yes, good point TB: it is indeed an advice on all e-smoking boards: drink more then else, especially when just starting on e-smoking!
