1. It’s not as hard as you think. Once you begin to be honest with
yourself and to look at the facts about smoking, it will become a
pleasure to remove this addiction from your life or use a better
alternative with the electronic cigarette.
2. Square off with your smoking habit. Look at it and size it up.
Ask yourself exactly what it is doing for you; then ask yourself
what it is not doing for you. You can begin with your hair and work
your way down to the tips of your toes. It is a medical fact that
smoking affects every organ in the human body in a harmful way.
3. Look at quitting cigarettes as giving yourself a gift – a very
big gift. You are giving yourself a better quality of life and, very
possibly, a longer life. You are giving yourself a healthier body.
You are giving yourself more self-esteem. Wrap all this in a package
and look at it for the gift it really is, then “Go for it”!
4. Set a date. Make a commitment. Give it a try. Remember, it is
alright if you don’t succeed at first. Just keep trying. The only
way you can lose is by ceasing to try.
5. Don’t look at it as if you are giving up something. This makes it
seem too much like a loss. What you are really doing is tossing
something out of your life that has done you harm and doesn’t belong
here anymore. You are throwing away pure garbage. No longer are you
going to allow your lungs to be resting place for nicotine and tars.
6. Always keep a positive attitude. After all, this is one of the
most positive things you’ve ever done. Stay away from negative
people and worrisome situations.
7. Quit for yourself. Even though your family and loved ones will
benefit tremendously from your quitting, it is you that will benefit
the most.
8. Treat giving up smoking with the respect it rightly deserves.
Become willing to go to any lengths to remove it from your life. If
you are not willing, try praying for the willingness. This usually
works.
9. Look up the word “nicotine” in your dictionary and write down the
definition in big letters: “A poisonous alkaloid used as an
insecticide.” Put it where you can see it.
10. Don’t say “I’ll take my chances” and continue to smoke. They are
not ours to take. We didn’t give ourselves life and we don’t have
the right to “take our chances” on giving it away. That is up to a
higher power.

Easier said than done bevis - also, be careful what you pray for - you might not like the way you get it!

I don't know much about the science of cigarettes. However, in the beggining I could not pick up at least 3 analogs a day. I quickly did some google searches for "other addictive chemicals found in a cigerette."

Fun thing about the body is that it tends to expel things after a week. There's a peak and knowing that the other 4 or 5 chemicals kept me coming back to analogs. And now knowing this I felt I had a way better shot. My mind was set and after 3 days of just vaping I performed a test.

I waited 3 hours without vaping or smoking. I looked at my cigarette pack and damn did I want one, so I picked up the e-cig and gave it 8 good puffs, looked back at the cigs and didn't want them AT ALL.

Your milleage may vary.
