Wow, there must be as batch if gremlins out there lately with all this talk of going back to analogs. Sure these things are quirky but after 4 months I am about to lay these down (I plan to within the month) with no thought of going back to those evil stinky organics. I have to agree it has had it's share of troubles for me but I feel so much better and know I can lay these down right now. After 35+ years of smoking that's remarkable and nothing else has come close to that. Not patches or gum or lozenges, and if I stay with these for a while longer, no biggie! It is not as bulletproof as whipping out a Marlboro and firing it up but the toll on your body is so much less. Gotta be worth it folks!
