Hello.
After having been a sleeping member of this forum for 3 months, I thought it was high time I thanked the good folk on here that have dramatically altered my life for the better. Although you don't know me, the likes of Smokey Joe and Tropical Bob and many more of you have become like friends from whom I sought advice and guidance so often in the past 3 months.
Sorry haven't sussed how to use the smilies yet - doh!
In a nutshell, I quit smoking on 4 Apr this year - the day we went to Disneyland Paris for a few days (baaad move!). Hot tip, don't try quitting 'da fags when your 6 yr old is pestering you 24/7 about riding Dumbo and 'It's a friggin Small World'.
Anyway, I relied on NRT to get me through and this kept me just above pergatory (just). After a week of patches, gum inhalators etc I was a gibbering wreck. Somehow during this period from hell, I found this site.
Too terrified to believe at first, I kept reading and reading. Eventually, I plucked up enough courage to buy my first njoy (note first!!!) After a few days it arrived from Cyprus and I put it together; my hands were shaking, I was that nervous that this was going to be a huge disappointment. OMG - after 3 puffs, not only was there light at the end etc but the preverbial tunnel was rushing towards me at Warp Speed. I finally had found a way of beating this awful addiction.
And it was ALL down to you super folk on here.
3 months on, I have not looked back. Granted this might not be the answer for everyone, but it has changed my life.
The reason I haven't posted previously is that I didn't think I had anything useful to say/add to what's been said before. But I just HAD to say thank you.
As for my observations on e-smoking....
For anyone considering this as an alternative to smoking can I offer the following that I have found useful.....
1. Don't buy 1 e-cig buy at least 3. They break - frequently. But the penstyle ones offered by pillbox and smokester here in the UK and, I think, by Meltrex in the US are superb and cheap (miles better than NJOYs equivalent).
2. Invest in a nice set of tweezers - they will become your 2nd best friend after the e-cig!!!
3. Make sure you buy an extra roll of kitchen towel each week!!! Or is that just me??
Finally - honest,
A sincere heartfelt THANKS to everyone on here - not only from me, but from my children you have helped make them very happy.
That's all, so bye for now.

P.S.
Smokey Joe, Tropical Bob, Meltrex, Ratindahat and too many more to mention. If you guys are ever in South Wales, UK, let me know - the drinks and carts are on me.

I forget her name, but when I was a boy I saw a Welsh singer on the Carson show, who used to do duets with Kenny Rodgers, and I soooo fell in love.
