I skipped over most of the posts on here but.. ecigs have helped me quit for the most part. I still find myself lighting one up every once in a while not much though. either way it has helped me cut back almost to the point of no smoking at all.

I have been cigarette free for 6 months now. I still am at 24mg Nico, but it has stopped every craving to light up. I plan to lower my Nico levels over the next couple months. So yes, vaping has helped me greatly.
Absolutely helps you stop smoking, but like most things it's up to you to do it right and fight old habits.
It's the nicotine keeps you going back to the cigarettes so if you find a flavour you like more than or equal to smoking and a nicotine level equal to the old habit then you will not be missing anything that requires burning hugely expensive and cancerous dried leaves.
I smoked up to 2 packs a day and had smoked since 14 years old, I'm 52 now, I've had a brain Hemorrhage and 2 heart attacks and with huge support from my Dr and having tried every patch, gum, pill and potion known to man I never quit longer than 2 months.
9th December 2012 I took delivery of a Vamo and a couple of T3's and Vivi Nova's and since the batteries charged ready for use I have not had or craved a single cigarette and transformed my life, sounds somewhat dramatic but that's not my way, it really has improved my health and well-being beyond my expectations and being as a pack of 20 smokes costs £7 ($10) in the UK I'm sure you will appreciate the size of the financial reward.
vaping is not a one size fits all experience so you have to try a few options and discover what fits you as far as finding the right device, strength of liquid and flavour but if you stick with it there is no reason to fail, the secret I believe is research. Make the effort to discover what's out there and understand what weaknesses might exist in a particular product and roll with the punches as you will have failures with you device, you will run low on juice.
Vaporisers do require a little bit more than pulling out of a pack and striking a match but to be honest, if a little bit of battery changing or juice dripping is too much bother then your not ready to protect your health so don't bother.... Yet.

I was a 20 year smoker who hasn't had a cigarette in 3 months.
My wife was a 41 year smoker who hasn't had a cigarette in 3 weeks.
The proof is in the pudding.

The real question is are we no longer dependent on nicotine. I can say I've successfully quit tobacco but I still NEED my nicotine.
12+ years, 2xPAD, stopped analogs the day I started vaping, threw out 1/2 a carton I had left the next day, no regrets, no craving for analogs.
I started around 24mg, already down around 6mg, prefer the experience and vapor and flavor over the TH and nic (mostly... if I go 0-nic I get a little cranky)...
this is all within the last 1.5 months

Nothing will help you quit (according to psychology) unless you want to... But yes, I have one friend who smoked for 10 years (17@start) picked up a blu-cig (one I inherited from him) vaped for 6 months and when accidentally left it at home before a camping trip, when he got back he said he did not need it anymore.
I can only speak for myself....10+ months after 33 yrs of analogs.....nuff said.
I like this problem but, what do you do when you get excited about never lighting up an analog again so you give your lighters to your friend... But now I can't light my candle? Stove and paper...
I feel terrible without analog cig couple of months back.. But since I took up vaping, never touch them anymore... You'd need a little willpower and determination though, just a bit

50year smoker finished last ciggy Feb 1st, moved straight onto ecig and never looked back - so a big yes from me.
Must say though , not saving much money - too many shiney things to buy...... but money was not the reason for quitting anyway.
I found the transition very easy but i have swopped one addiction for another, all be it a far healthier one.

For me it was a change. I stoped smoke analogs and just wanted to save money but in reality I never thought that I am strong enough to stop smoking analogs - today I am happy as the people smoking analogs but I save around 150 every month
15yr PAD smoker. 4 days vaping.
Id have to say that Im taking in more nicotine than when I was on analogs. These juices are just so good. I get dizzy. When I smoke before bed.... I can't sleep. I gotta learn to put it down and walk away. But it tastes so good. So now Im addicted to vaping. I'll have to reduce my nic levels on my next order.
