Tip for Newbs to fight the analog craving.

Listen to the VaporCast a PodCast for the Digital smoker. I learned alot about Ecigs and found it distracting enough that it helped me with cravings.

Mental stimulus is indeed a great concept, however the chemical dependency of the remaining 3999 chemicals that we have ingested for years play havoc on the chemical function of our normal brain function.

Of Course you should be vaping while you listen to the podcast.

I should have mentioned the changes in our chemical receptors and transmitters in the brain from all the years of smoking require time to heal which is a natural bodily function, and even then, some damage cannot be undone. That is why BT have billions of people hooked. A good friend of mine who hasn't smoked in 25 years, still has the odd craving, albeit these days they are more subdued, they still persist.

This plus the other alkaloids in tobacco of which nicotine is just one, though the major. Some people, at least, definitely have dependance on those as well mainly depending on brain chemistry. Can search this forum for "WTA" (whole tobacco alkaloids) for more info.

Something like SNUS would definitely help if vaping just isn't quite "enough" sometimes.

Yup! ... amd that is why I avoid TWAs like the plague.

You hit the nail on the head, it's like coffee being just about the caffeine. It sure ain't.

Actually I never thought about that but I'm sure you are right re. coffee. There are plenty of examples in pharamchology of pills with just the main "effective" ingredient or a synthetic version not having the same (or any) therapeutic benefits as the naturally-occuring form of the medicine due to missing "everything else".

Back when money really, really had a value. I heard and old man say he'd give $100 for a cigarette, if he knew he could just smoke that one. That was probably 40 years ago. I was just a child, but it always stuck out in my mind.

I guess I got lucky-taste did it for me; my first kit was from VaporNine, and I really liked the taste of the menthol carto's that came with it; then, after vaping (and only vaping) for 3 days I lit up a cigarette-it was like licking an ashtray, tasted horrible. Haven't wanted one since.
