    Wrong Model for Quitting Analogues?

    Let me add this: I have been off real cigarettes for close to three months. I was a pack-a-day smoker for 40 years. More, if drinking. I watched my brother-in-law die of lung cancer last November 30, 2008. HE had smoked for some 20 years, quit, and then took it up one year prior to dying. He...

    Tried an analog today

    I had a 'real' cigarette the oher day. I discovered that I did not enjoy it. I thought to myself "Why smoke this thing, which robs one of breath, makes one smell like hell, and would make my doctor and family frown?" I am to the point that, even drinking etoh, I have no 'desire' for a real...

    Only post once-How many have quit smoking

    Stopped since mid April 2009 after 40 blasted years of smoking. Tried a real cigarette last week: didn't care for it anymore. I have lost all urge for them.

    How do you define a ban?

    I have read many of the reports about the Senate bill that passed today giving the FDA the power to regulate tobacco. In the words of Douglas Adams, “Don’t Panic”. It is not a ‘ban’. I have not seen the actual Senate bill, but from what I have seen from the legislator comments this is...

    Something to consider?

    How many real cigarettes come in cherry flavor? The question is not whether adults like flavors. The question concerns perception. I actually doubt that e-cigarettes were made to entice youngsters into becoming addicted to nicotine. However, there are people out there in the world who have a...

    Something to consider?

    I would not put any stock into the assertions by the ‘black helicopter’ crowd who maintain that the Federal government, as well as the several state governments, want people to continue to smoke for the taxes. I do not recall exactly when, but I guess it was in the late 1960s or very early...

    Free Enterprise

    I think if those whom sell electronic cigarettes had, from the beginning, sought FDA approval as a 'stop smoking' device, like nicotine gum or patches, then the FDA would have approved e-cigarettes quickly. However, the e-cigarette industry simply refuses to classify this product as one that...

    NYTIMES.com: Cigarettes With No Smoke, Tar or, as It Happens, U.S. Assent

    I read that article in the New York Times this morning; there was also a different article about e-cigarettes in the Wall Street Journal this morning (I read both on my Kindle, but found the article online). The WSJ article was by Lauren Etter. Here is the link: Controversy Swirls Around...

    Shipments being seized

    Let me ask this question here instead of starting a new thread: Next December (if all goes well) we will be taking a cruise that includes stops in Hong Kong and Shanghai (the later is actually where we fly home from). Does anyone know if I will be able to buy some personal e-cigarette...

    How easy?

    Very easy, once I got past the 'I've got to have a real cigarette with my coffee and/or beer' ideation. Indeed, I had been trying to quit, off and on, for 40 years, and even if I did manage to stop smoking for a month or two, I would end up drinking one night, have a couple of smokes, and...

    Njoy Nipro cartridges defect

    Hmm. No, I have not had that happen to me. I use my Npro a lot. Does sound like the ultimate 'throat hit' (sorry, couldn't resist).

    DO NOT BUY E-CIGS FROM "lightinthebox.com otherwise known as china wholesale" EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It seems strange that the OP obviously joined the forum simply to post the rant about the Chinese supplier (on April 17th), and never returned with a follow-up (May 20th, as I write this). OP's number is posts is still '1'. Anyway, I second the great job done by Heaven's Gifts. Two orders so...

    Hello all and thank you for the invitation to join. I am 53 (54 very, very soon) and started smoking at age 13. Using the e-cigarettes allowed me to quit quite easily. Born and raised in Fort Worth. Indeed, from my downtown office I can look out one window and see where I started life (St...

    Npro mini questions for a 1st day E-smoker

    Let me say: my previous attempts to stop smoking always failed when I would drink alcohol. I simply had to have a cigarette with my booze. Tonight, I am flying ‘solo’, i.e., no real cigarettes but only the e-type. I have made it, and I was helped a lot by the Npro. Through it all the Npro (I...

    Where do I find some VG?

    Same boat. I did order, today, some VG e-liquid from Johnson's Creek, which gives you the option of VG juice or the standard stuff. And no, I have not experienced any side-effects from the standard juice. Yet, I decided to try the VG.

    DO e cigarettes taste like real cigarettes?

    Remember when you moved from Camels unfiltered cigarettes to Pall Mall Lights? (I do). It is like that. It does take a bit to get used to. I have begun, like others herein, to mix my liquids. Right now I am enjoying mixing Hilton with Johnson Creek's Kona Coffee. Gives a nice bit of harshness...

    Npro mini questions for a 1st day E-smoker

    The Njoy Npro was my first e-cigarette, and still is my basic workhorse. I have three other styles (DSE 801, M401 and Red Dragon). All have advantages and disadvantages. I still take my Npro with me everywhere for a quick puff during the day. If I go out for a drink, I take the Red Dragon due to...
