Check it out:

We all know that e-cigs satisfy way better than gums, patches, meds etc...

I think this is why:

It's that suckling action; just that lizard part of our brains wanting to 'feed' on our mothers.

( this could be the whiskey talking though haha)

Take care all!

I think it's the giant clouds of steamvapor coming out our faces...seeing the smoke is why it worked for me at least.

Doesn't hurt that vapes taste like UNBURNT tobacco smells, and do the same thing. Not to mention doing it for half price.

 

[cheifdiamondnipples]

Yea pretty much its the throat hit and the vapor for me that keeps away the analogs, been 1 month and a half since my last one!

 

[gandalfgreycat]

Yeah DarkH...the fat clouds of vapor surely don't hurt the cause!

i quit smoking once for a year.. it was really hard. the whole year. so i did some research why it was so hard.. first of all they say to only use the patches or gum for a small amount of time (weeks). secondly, nicotine is a highly addictive drug, which changes your brain chemistry. it messes with your dopamine receptors, and replaces your brains need to produce it on its own.. so if you stop cold turkey after many years of smoking your brain is not producing the chemicals it usually does to clam you down. certainly, big vapes and hand to mouth help, but nicotine replacement therapy without all of the deadly effects of smoking, or/ a gradual cutting down allowing your brain to heal is the best way to deal with this problem..

thats why i think vaping is a God send.. really.. ive been saying for years that they should invent a nicotine pill or something to deliver nicotine to smokers which is not dangerous to help them.. and now ive found this! hurrah

U b rite, I'm a registered nurse my specialty is gerentology and psyc my second major was chemistry. Nicotine has different effects depending on the dose. Small amounts give you energy while large amounts calm you. Have you notice how many smokers have restless leg syndrome (RLS) compared to none smokers. Just watch for the moving foot sometimes a hand clicking a pen. Side effects (sx) of nicotine dependence. The body looses the chemical ability to achieve homeostasis and remain calm tap tap tap...digital cigs are the best way for people to quite smoking analogs. Even if the never cut back on the nicotine it's better then burning butts. I recommend ecigs to my patients most accept it cause the can use it in the room. Many quit more then ever as the ecigs stopped leaking and seeping tru to yr lips anyway sorry for goin off but I am sold on this.

Idk about all that lol - I used to chew nic gum on long plane trips and was fiending for a cigarette - didn't even set out to quit using e-cigs and I did within 4 days... it's seeing the smoke and the satisfaction that comes w/ it IMO.

 

[stefania123]

No need to apologize Tyy1, thanks for your input and medical opinion Glad to hear you agree, i told a few of my friends this years ago, and they thought i was crazy, though the info is there if anyone wants to look it up.

darkhood, the nicotine gum has low levels of nic and is a bad delivery system.

Very common knowledge that the hand to mouth habit is very hard to break, vaping solves this. I think it's more about that than getting a cigarette feel when you actually vape. Gum and patches make you break a ritual you have done for years, vaping doesn't.

For me it is the big clouds of vapor...the tasty juices don't hurt either. Taste much better then regular cigs...actually, regular cigs taste horrible, how did I do it for so long?

 

[Tyy1]

I hear you seeing the smoke must have some psyc effect..

 

[Tyy1]

Thanks 4 the support you know as a nurse some people say APAP (sorry Tylenol) makes them sleep or they have an allergies to it but can take lortab that is 1% pain killer 99% APAP and have no rxn.

The reason why they work can be different for everyone, because we all got different things from smoking.

Here are just some examples of reasons it might work so much better than NRT products...
--complete control over the amount of nicotine delivered
--satisfies any hand-to-mouth habits
--satisfies any desire to watch/exhale/play with "smoke"
--all of the great flavors
--satisfies any desire for throat hit
--provides an activity to keep you occupied/prevent boredom
--allows you to continue the "social aspect" of smoking if desired

Here is what people who had a hard time switching found that they needed to finally make the switch...

After 3 months of vaping and no tar sticks I can honestly say I don't miss them. I've also noticed that I can go longer without cravings. I make up for it after supper when I vape my dessert though.

 

[MorpheusPA]

For me, it's the throat hit, too. I just love the feeling of the vapor hitting my throat, it's so satisfying.

Vapes that lack throat hit don't leave me satisfied (I have no nicotine fits, but I still feel like I "want a cigarette," which is now "want a vape with some TH.") So for me, heavy PG and lots of menthol fit the bill. Slightly harsh is good.

I also like not having to sit out in the rain to smoke since my wife has asthma and I wouldn't want her to have to breathe it in. Nicotine patches made my skin blister; vaping (so far) has only made me a little more thirsty than usual.
