Anytime you are not putting a cigarette in your mouth, then that is a great achievement for any ex smoker, just don't be tricked into why you find it difficult to or don't want to give up.

People come out with so many reasons:

ie. I have no will power
It helps me relax
I could give up if I wanted to
I've really cut down
I'll stop one day
I enjoy smoking
I only smoke socially
I only smoke when I drink
It's a habit
I've smoked for so long, it will be impossible to give up
I like the taste
Need a cigarette after a meal


All total bollocks

You are simply addicted to nicotine and it's the exact nature of the evil drug that has been slowly destroying your nervous system and leading you to believe all the excuses above.

All you need to do is stop the supply of nicotine and don't let your mind fall for any of the usual excuses.

It is simply drug addiction and the way to beat any addiction is NOT to keep taking the drug that you are addicted to

Good points :thumb:

You could try passive masturbation even!

It's a crutch, a habit AND an addiction.

You do the same thing in the same routine for years and years and then try to tell yourself to stop.

Set a target date, tell people, change your routine, drive another way to work, take the train, do something different.

Don't blame lack of will power, you're just scared of stepping out "onto the ledge". Do it, bust the habit. Don't hang around other smokers for a little while, most smokers don't want you to quit, they want you to fail because they too are scared of taking that step into the fagless world.

"You sure you don't want one"
"Here, have one of mine"
"One won't hurt"
"You can start again in the morning"

Change your habits (only temporarily), and QUIT. Do not see it as giving up the smokes, see the positive, the health, the cash, and the smells and flavours of the world coming back!!

30 a day, smoked for 22 years, gave up 4 years ago :D

That was my point Les, but after re reading it it depends what company you are in. :D

It's called Champix and if you really want to give up but have no will power (like me) it works a treat....I smoked for over 20 years and tried giving up several times with no luck. Tried Champix and haven't smoked for over 2 years now.

Champix worked for me. Quit a year ago now.

Brun 18 January 2011 06:34 PM

Another shout for champix 13 years of smoking came to an abrupt end last March. I know of 3 others who were not light smokers who have sucessfully used it :thumb:

Their stuff looks really good! Be interested to know:thumb:

Bought some of their liquid and its great!

Bought some other liquid off another company via Amazon and it was bleddy awful :freak3:

Anyway..10 days without a real cigarette:D

winston69 20 January 2011 09:55 PM

I'll let you know

What do you think of them in general then mate? Do they 'feel' like you are smoking then?
What liquid flavours and strengths are you using? Do you have any tips after being a first time user that I should be aware of? Seen some topics about priming the atomizers etc etc? Any tips?

lozgti1 20 January 2011 10:13 PM

I thought they would be a load of rubbish but they aren't IMHO (there is some rubbish out there though) can't imagine the wicked stuff would be anything but good.Little bit of getting used to but doesn't take long

Just like smoking without the crap.Feel like a druggie when I say this! but you get the throat 'hit' as they say.Just using tobacco flavour and 18 mg at the moment.Tempted to try their flavour stuff later on with no nicotene.

I just followed the instructions.Didn't think about priming the atomizers but they are better after a couple of 'smokes'.You can just drip some liquid straight on to atomisers too

I really don't see the harm in them...quite enjoyable really! And for a weak willed no will power person like me who really enjoyed a smoke thats saying something! My wife is amazed...and I reckon I've saved £50 already:thumb:

DisoDisp 21 January 2011 12:40 AM

Smoked 20 a day for the last 11 years, quit cold turkey 9 months ago. Can't understand why I ever started, let alone did it for so long.

Good luck, stick with it.

Leslie 22 January 2011 12:35 PM

Hope it does not do more damage than the cigarettes!

Les

lozgti1 22 January 2011 12:41 PM

There's nothing in them really Les...just creates an odourless vapour

Obviously nicotene is if you specify it but you can have no nicotene.

Very good point though! One I keep trawling the internet for to find a catch!!

Iam not a regular smoker but do par take when im stressed/ out on piss, maybe 3-4 times a year. Im with Cilla Black ( if i reach 75, thats enough for me) and although my grans have both gone into there nineties, if with my drinking and the odd smoke i die 15 years earlier, id be happy with that!!

Who wants to sit in a chair feeling **** ( and possibly ****ting yourself) for an extra boring 15 years!

No offense but what that has to do with electric cigarettes I'll never know

Should you be lucky enough to reach 75, you will want to reach 100.

All you have to do is to take care of yourself, and life will be just as interesting. I know a few people in that situation.

My sky cig arrived today, I'm really impressed.

lozgti1 29 January 2011 11:35 AM

18 days for me now.

People will think I'm nuts but tried some coffee flavoured stuff.

It's what I always imagined those Cafe Creme little cigars would taste like but never did:lol1:

Was quite nice with a whisky last night:eek:

Leslie 29 January 2011 12:07 PM

Well done, stick with it,it is so much worth it when you have won the battle completely.

Les :)

winston69 29 January 2011 01:00 PM

I have already upgraded my first e-cig, the titan from totally wicked. To a Tornado Tank, 100% better than my first one...
