Hi everyone! About six months ago I was at a Shopper's Drug Mart and saw the Nicorette inhalers on sale. At the price they were offering, I suddenly thought "hey, this alternative is about the same price as a pack of smokes right now!" and got really interested in the whole concept. I actually spoke with the pharmacist at the store and asked about the health benefits of using the inhaler instead of smoking cigarettes. It ended up being quite a long conversation, but in the end she agreed that it would be better for my health to use the Nicorette inhaler for the rest of my life, vs. smoking analogue cigarettes. Well, that sold me absolutely and I bought 2 boxes. I got out to the car, busted it open and tried it out. It tasted like I was breathing through a halls candy and I felt like I was holding a... well certainly not a cigarette. It didn't work, I may have used a total of 2 of the cartridges and gave up.
A little while later I heard about e-cigarettes. I started doing all kinds of reading on them and as far as I could tell at the time, they weren't available in Canada. Then, one day I saw that they were available at the smoke shop in the mall! I was super excited, and bought the kit for roughly $80.00. I'm in Canada so even though the kit was pricy to start, the cartridges it came with didn't leave me feeling satisfied at all (of course) and so I abandoned the system and kept up with my analogues. I'd done a lot of lurking at the time to read up about the current situation in Canada regarding obtaining cartridges containing nicotine, and it had seemed at the time like too much trouble.
I recently decided to revisit the whole thing and came back to lurking with a vengeance. After reading enough to feel confident in purchasing some cartridges and juice, finding the comparable model, even refilling the 'regular menthol' cartridges it came with!
Once I got the package, I opened it up to get started and haven't had an analogue since. Now, admittedly that was just this morning but still - that's 10 - 12 cigarettes I haven't smoked.
Anyway that's my story - hi everyone!
