Electronic cigarettes

[mereman]

I started Ecigs on the strongest nicotine liquid I'm now on the weakest and still don't feel the need for a fag (for overseas readers it's slang for a cigarette, NOT the other meaning )

I have managed to more than half what I used to smoke, so they do work. However my first one was a bit expensive in as much as I threw it on the workshop floor and stood on it - force of habit or what.

Plonkers are us department !!!

The very best of luck to anyone trying to become a non-smoker.

Don't tell yourself you are quitting, stopping or giving up as this reinforces the idea you are denying yourself something you enjoy. Instead, tell yourself you are now a non-smoker...

Also, I agree cold turkey is best. Remember when you first started smoking and you got that little buzz from a cigarette? A slightly dizzy feeling but as your body got used to nicotine that little buzz disappeared. Well actually it didn't. It's still there, but what also happened is you started to experience nicotine withdrawal. This is the craving and when you smoke that little buzz just makes you feel normal again. So you smoke and the nicotine buzz satisfies the craving and you feel normal again. But it is the nicotine that causes the craving and one you see the vicious circle you can break it. The good news is that nicotine withdrawal lasts about 2-3 days and after that the body is free. This is why cold turkey and no nicotine substitute is best...


All you need to address is the habit... Recognising the nicotine addiction for what it is is most of the battle. You can talk yourself through it.

I never missed the smelly clothes, breath or fingers. And once you are a non-smoker you will notice just how much it really does stink!


Best of luck.

PS sometimes we have all calculated how much smoking costs a month. We may have also calculated it for a year. But just try calculating the cost over a lifetime... Less 5 years because you will die sooner through smoking!
