I started smoking when I was 13.
By 17 I was up to about 20 a day, and I kept that up until I was 32 (present day).
For the last few years I have been trying to stop smoking...It seems like every week I was saying to people:-
"I have to stop smoking now...I can feel them damaging my health..."
...But I never could.
I tried everything to stop smoking (patches, gum etc); but NOTHING worked for me....In fact I was so addicted that I couldnt get through one whole day without a cigarette...Even going an hour was a nightmare.
So it seemed impossible that I would ever stop smoking.
A few month ago I got an e cigarette from amazon...It was inexpensive (about £6)...Called a 'Marloboro High'.
...I started using it...
...I kept smoking my regular 'ciggies' along with it...But soon enough I realized that I wasnt really needing a 'real' ciggarette anymore...My cravings were satisfied with the 'e-cig'.
Alternating that first day between the e-cig and regular cigarettes I soon noticed something.........I 'preferred' the e-cig.
At the end of that first day with my e-cig, I had smoked only TWO 'real' cigarettes...
...My lungs felt better already.
The day after I had NO cigarettes at all...I just puffed on my e cig when I needed a 'fix'!
...I even puffed it on the bus on the way home!
For the first time EVER I could smoke in my parent's 'smoke-free' house!
...I even had a fly puff in the que in the post office!
I wasn't stinking of smoke anymore and was enjoying my strawberry (and other flavoured) e-cigs very much!
THESE THINGS ARE AMAZING!
However...After a few weeks on the e-cig I quit that as well.
I miss the e-cig in a way....Not as a 'smoke'...But more as an 'old friend'! However I saw my chance to stop smoking anything altogether and I took it!
...The 'e-cig' was SO much easier to quit than regular cigarettes.
I don't feel the need for nicotine at all anymore and as a smoker for many years who was unable to stop I HIGHLY, personally recommed electronic cigarettes because although they satisfied my craving for nicotine I never had a bad cough, sinus and all the other problems that come with smoking regular ciggarettes.
Best of luck everyone! And if you haven't tried an 'e-cig' you should consider it!
