I just became aware of e-cigs today. I have been quit for 8 months but still have an incredible desire for a cig. If it weren't for the health drawbacks I would still be smoking. Question is, is this something I could take up even tho I've already quit smoking?
might be a stupid question but...

If it's the act of smoking you want but not to get back on nicotine, you can use ecigs but with 0 nicotine liquid. If that's the case, after you try it out and if you decide you want to keep at it, then it would be silly to purchase the relatively expensive commerical 0 nic liquid. You could save tons of money by simply buying glycerin and adding a few drops of flavor for your own DIY liquid.
Rozy--if you already went through the whole deal of quitting--do not waste it!!! Keep up the good work and forget it--Sun
I agree with aldo. You have flushed out many of the toxins in your system from cigarette smoking. Do not start using e-cigs; they are not intended to be used by non-smokers.
Well we all 'think' e-cigs are far safer than tobacco smoking.......but then again it can't really be better than just breathing air ....so I would only recommend it if you just cannot remain a non-smoker.
In view of all the other responses, I would qualify mine as being from the perspective of someone who has "quit" multiple times over the length of my 44 year addiction. If the choice for Rozy is back to smoking versus trying an ecig, then IMO, clearly the ecig would be the preferable choice!
The fact that you are on this forum asking the question and the "desire" to smoke you mentioned tells me you need more help. I agree with yvilla, if you are tempted to pick up the real thing again, then research this forum and buy a personal vaperizor. Try the 0 nic. juice first. That might be all you need.
Thanks folks. I agree just being here leads me to think I am still having issues in beating this 30 year addiction. I just don't want to start something up that I am going to have to give up with such difficulty again. I don't want to start something that is going to be unhealthy either. Quitting smoking has been the hardest thing I have ever done and I really miss it still. And yes, I have quit many times, the longest being 3 years.
My unsolicited advice lol
Stick with being nic free at the very least.
an addiction is still an addiction many years later, if you have come so far to beat your addiction for 8 months you have no physical addiction left in you , it would be very silly to revive it.
If you simply cannot avoid the psychological urges ( which you can as you have for 8 months) then yeah vape away , but at the risk of not knowing what issues may arrive later. As smokers an e-cig is considered harm reduction in my opinion, however that may not be true for someone cigarette and nicotine free, it might actually be harm inducing??
stick to your guns if you can !
