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.

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.

      It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
