Thread: Smoked for 38 years and (stopped) overnight

Tried loads of times to stop smoking and always failed... normally due to getting a stress head. Anyway, researched the electronic cigarettes and was mightily impressed with their claims. Bought a set of two, which were £50, but amazed at the reality of them. I had realised that I didn't actually want to stop entirely, as I did enjoy it, so I have swapped the way I do it. It has been just over 6 months now and not 1 cig! Not saying it for praise, just want to pass on what worled for me. My son and 3 work mates are now on it! Good luck to you all who are still trying. I must admit that I still feel that I do smoke but am not causing any damage, I dont get wet and am currently spending @ £2.50 a week on juice.

Well done you. Can I ask which e cig you decided on? I bought the skycig been on it two days but battery keeps running out (ony have one).

My husband is the same been using his e cig for about 5 months now. And he seems happy enough. He's gone down a nicotine level already )

I too have been smoking 23 years with several attempts at quitting. Bought an e lite cig 3 weeks ago and bang... Not 1 'real' cigarette since! No going outside in the cold/wet. No stinking of cigs. Costing a fraction of what it did and my skin is glowing :0)

i gave up 5 years ago .i had the chewinggum .but i bite into it .before i realised i wassent ment to .i felt sick .and i thought thats it .i am just going to stop .i havent had one since .even though my husbond still smokes around me .i took one day at a time .cannot stand the smell now .so if you realy wont to do it you can .good luck.

It is not easy to stop smoking, of course it is addiction but if we are really motivated and well disciplined, we can do it. Using electronic cigarettes can be our first step in quitting smoking, I find it very effective
