No real info (just my ......ed video)

[apachedug]

I was sitting here, watching tv & perusing this board (lookin' for the latest n' the greatest--wow, NJOYS in Target!) when it hit me:

This is my fifth day without a real cigarette. If someone had told me last week that this would be happening, I would've never believed it. (I smoked for over 27 years, a pack plus a day. Couldn't quit.) Now I can take the occasional "puff" on my Smartfixx penstyle & feel okay. And I'm breathing good for the first time in 10 years.

Um...this isn't exactly a video review of anything, just a little video I made last week, right before I found out about the e-cig... (it was a cry for help!)

YouTube - How an Apache Quits Smoking

LoL ...

I actually quit with Allen Carrs book back in September of 2007 (9/12/97 to be exact) Haven't been a nic addict since. I do enjoy zero nic esmoking though. Its the mechanics i missed and longed for, the nic is just what kept me addicted...

You are definitely on the right track! Maybe someday you can join the zero nic club!

LOL. Cute Video. I thought about buying Allen Carr's book. Maybe I shoulda caught ya before you chucked it in the trash. Free's much better. LOL.

Haha! Karen, I still have the book--(that toss in the trash was just for dramatic purposes); anyways, I know I'm a ham but Cashmere is right, it's actually a very good book. I bought it a year ago (out of curiosity more than anything) and it's just common sense stuff, but he DRIVES IT HOME, AGAIN AND AGAIN. It's very effective.

(Well, not as effective as an e-cig of course! heh heh...)

DARN IT, I WANT TO BE IN THE "ZERO NIC CLUB" TOO!!

(At least I'm living without those damn cigarettes...in fact, tonight after work I gathered up the stack of plastic ashtrays under the sink & tossed 'em out, along with the hidden pack of smokes I've been keeping in the freezer 'in case of emergency'...I honestly no longer crave 'em.)

These e-cigs kick ..., don't they?

 

[apachedug]

Hahahaha! Uh...they are actually a lifesaver.

Someone on here (was it BishyBob?) commented on learning to prefer the taste of 'em over real cigarettes. When I first read that, I thought "c'mon!"

Anyway--I feel the same way now. Those medium strength menthols have a taste all their own!

 

[bishybob]

I tried my first menthol cartridge tonight. It was awful. I could only half finish it before I took it out. Right now I'm dry smoking with liquid I squeezed out of a different cartridge to smoke the taste out before I put in a new cart.

Did I mention I don't like menthol?

Oh yeah and great video. Got a good laugh.

Great video - now you need to do Part II - finding the e-cig...
