I don't really think the e-cigarettes are a good thing. To me you are only trading one habit for another. My f-i-l's buddy likes to say he hasn't smoked a cigarette since March, but the amount of the liquid/vapor he sucks out of the e-cig is like smoking five packs a day.

Plus, my wife went to a smoking cessation seminar and they said that one of the ingredients in the liquid is basically antifreeze.

That's what I figured. They had to be bad for you somehow. At first I thought it wasn't but after seeing a few commercials for them and noticing how they don't say anything about them being better for you, they just talk about how they won't bother people because it's vapor not smoke. You know if they were healthier than cigs they would advertise that.

Got a 2 for 1 ecig with charger and case, "cowboy" flavor nicotine, etc., fo $82 . . . So far after 4 hrs I haven't had too many problems . . . What do you do with ur hands? . . . Behaviour modification is a strange area of mental science . . . It is not the same for everyone . . . An individual decision/action must be established . . . The plan takes precedence . . . Eat boogers . . .

Remember . . . If you repeat the same behavior for 21 straight days it will become a habit . . .

I had an instructor years ago for a HAZWOPER course and he said that a McDonald's straw is the same size as a cigarette. He said some folks occupy themselves by chewing on those. He also had a chain, similar to one you'd find on a dog tag, that he would toss around in his hands to keep them busy.

My grandma said she took up knitting, so that's always an option.

2 1/2 days . . . Cravings are strong . . . Still, no cig . . . Ecig is 75 percent satisfying . . . 21 days it becomes a habit . . . We gonna test it . . .

Stay strong! Once you get a feel for what I call the "clean life" it becomes a motivating factor. Even though I'm far from "clean" living haha. Keep it up man
