Default E - cigarette . . .

My nasty habit has begun to give me signs that I need to modify my lifestyle . . . Any experience and advice about the E-cigarette that you can share would be appreciated . . . Thanks

I have a friend that went straight to them from decades of smoking and they seem to fix her cravings. Now you still end up with the effects of nicotine but at least your not getting the tar and stuff. Obviously quoting is the right answer but e cigs are a good answer in my book. I mean if your gonna do one or the other, that is certainly the lesser of two evils.

I'm working on quitting myself. I have tried e cig before but IMO it may also be just as bad for you as well. I don't think they have been out long enough to have any research behind them. Still make me nervous. You never know. They could be terrible for you. I have been using Skoal Snus to deal with my cravings. It seems like the healthiest option, although of course nothing is healthier than giving it all up completely. It is pouches and doesn't make you spit either. I find that chewing on toothpicks helps as well.

I quit years ago on the drug chantix. Took it for two weeks and had every side effect, but was able to quit and never looked back.
That was about 10 years ago.
I had tried many times to quit before but never quit for long. Good luck cuz it aint easy, but you have got to quit before it gets ya.

You can do it Tim. Just gotta get your mind right. Peppermints and Nicorette helped me. Used Nicorette for a week then nothing but peppermints.

I went to a group hypnotizing to quit dipping 4 years ago. It was for smokers but worked for dipping too. My dad was a 3 pack a day smoker and went to one of these 19 years ago and hasn't had a smoke since.

I'm trying cold turkey right now and it's pretty annoying but giving it hell. I have heard the lozenges work really well.

If you are researching about the E-Cig, a friend of mine started a company here in Lafayette making the product, have not tried it but he says its cheaper and better ingredients made local. I know he has a facebook page, the company name is "Dirty South Vapes"

Bought me a e cig 4 weeks ago used it until it ran out. Havent smoked a cigerette since. I was smoking a pack a day . They are getting to expensive. I tried to smoke a cig about a week ago and put it out after two puffs. It was horrible. Still have carvings. The true test will be when i have a feww drinks with friends . I will just have to wait and see. Good luck

Me too. It seems I don't think about a joe until the trolling motor goes down.
