Bosun11 537 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't know baw my theory is to reduce the nicotine content down gradually to nothing same as with the patches then sack the thing. My mrs has never given up for more than an hour and she's doing well so I'm not complaining. Paulus,I've tried them plastic look a like fags and just didn't really work for us but these ones I got on eBay are great. Aye mate, worth a try. You need to stick to that though, I know folk that's been smoking them for 2 years now and don't like they are going to give up any time soon lol people do not realise theres 2 distinct things to giving up smoking 1 is the nicotine addiction and 2 is the habit, i still smoke the ecig at the back door So did I... And thats really the point, because you really need to feel that nothing has changed, nothing is difficult... The best bit about packing in.... No not getting your taste buds back, lungs better, even the cost.... No, its time, you really wont belive how much time you have on your hands, time you don't have to stop and smoke.... It really is an eye opener.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Paul, Baw is right... I packed up smoking with the use of an ecig last March BUT I was very mindful of the ecig and when I knew, after a few weeks, I didn't need to smoke any more, i made damn sure I took the next step and eased off the ecig after another two weeks.... Job done..! Stick with it but don't become an ecig addict either. Do you know what I see mate, when I smoke a fag, I smoke it, don't have another for say 20/30 minutes. Folk with ecigs seem to have them stuck to there face constantly taking in far more addictive nicotine. If your gonna do it, do it like your smoking a fag, 5 mins puffing away then hide the f*****g thing for half an hour. After a few weeks widen the gap to an hour etc. then after a few months come down a strength and start over again. That's the only way I see it working without becoming an ecig addict. Spot on mate, nothing looks worse than some helmet with one of those pouch things round their neck and an ecig swinging from it, them taking constant pulls between sentences and dropping it again.... Feck me, i'd rather they smoked a fag in me face... Fecking pig ignorant as well as pathetic, oh yer, and they'll always try to justify it too..!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lapin2008 1,587 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 They are a really good way to make coming off tags fairly easy but you should plan to come off them a few months down the line, it's very easy to go back onto the real thing when you already have 30 a day worth of nicotine in your system. All it takes is a flat battery on it.. When I was on mine I could smoke it anywhere and the amount of nicotine will have increased from after the real thing as I was on it constantly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
