Just bought my e-cig starter kit a couple of days ago. I've tried to quit smoking several times with no luck, other than a couple of weeks here and there. I've come to the conclusion that my addictive personality will not let this habit die easily. So I decided to check out e-cigarettes.

After a couple of days with it, I can say that my smoking has been cut to about 1/4 of what I normally smoke. I'm actually trying to phase out the real cigs totally. First I have to get used to the vapor. It actually hits my lungs harder than real cigarettes, or maybe that's my imagination.

Anyone else tried these? If so , what has been your experience? I think I may be able to get off of real cigarettes eventually. I think the habitual part of lighting up, ashing, etc. may be a part of the process that has to be broken down.

Buddy of mine was on it for about a month. Eventually cut out real cigs all together. Then he had just 1 because he needed a smoke, didn't have the e-cig, so he bummed on off of somebody. Then he bought a pack. Long story short, he hasn't touched the e-cig in 3 weeks. If you're serious about it, don't under ANY circumstances pick up a real cig once you are able to go without and rely on the e-cig alone. Eventually, ween yourself off the e-cig and replace it with something else (like drawing, jogging, etc).

Side-note: I've been addicted to dip for years. Need to quit, but everybody around me in this dorm dips. It is impossible to avoid. :(

I never had much luck using them to avoid actually smoking. TBH I don't think the nicotine levels in the liquid are what they say they are, or if there's even any nicotine there at all.

As far as the addictive personality goes, yeah I think that has a lot to do with it. I've abused lots of different addictive drugs in my younger years and subsequently quit them without much problem. Cigarettes on the other hand...

I dont smoke anymore, but when I was in high school, they had these cigarettes called Eclipses....they were still cigs just that they didn't smoke and you would just light the top and it wouldn't burn down, it would stay the same size the whole time..

Ive seen those e cigs in the mall though. Luckily, I didn't need anything to quit, I just stopped smoking one day b/c I didn't feel like it anymore..

My advice? Every time you want a cig, take a hit from the bowl :)

I don't know how much nicotine is actually in these things, I guess they are supposed to be the same as a real cig. I have been able to use the e-cig in place of smoking pretty effectively right now. I still haven't cut out cigs totally, but I only have 3 or 4 a day (I was a pack a day smoker).

It's funny how hard it is for me to quit smoking. I was able to quit drinking relatively easy, but smoking is just a bitch to quit.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
