During my wife's recent visit to her doctor she brought up the e-cig and informed him that she was using it to try and quit smoking. She told him that she was having better luck with this than she did with other NRTs he has had her on. She has tried gum, patches and Chantix and she still smoked. I think she could never get over the hand to mouth aspect of smoking. She informed her Doctor that she was using low level nicotine and has cut back on regular cigs from 15 a day to just two or three. Her Doctor said he had heard of them in reports and was all for it. She was carrying her penstyle and Mini at the time and showed him both. She even gave him a demo with his permission. She was vaping chocolate at the time and she said the doctor was amazed at the arroma of chocolate. He laughed and said his wife was a chocaholic. She told him that I had quit cold turkey and was using zero nicotine. He gave her lots of encouragement and said that it has to better than smoking real tobacco.
My wife plans to be completely analog free within a week and then start weaning off the nicotine with zero nicotine juice.
I too worry about bringing too much attention in the press about E-cigs.
IMHO I feel that anything that has to do with smoking or even resembles smoking will get a negative reaction from the majority of the non smoking public. We need to take baby steps here. If we try to walk before we crawl, we will just end up falling on our face. Good things will come to those who wait.
