I quit smoking over a year ago now with no patches or owt but my missus carried on until recently, she bought an ecig thing and used it for 2 days and then just stopped. I think something in your head

I packed up the fags using a ecig about four years ago.Still using the electric one now,I make me own liquid and it has saved me a small fortune plus no more coughing and spluttering in the morning.Not to sure that they are safe but i reckon they are 90 percent safer than tobacco. Makes you look a bit of a knob using them in public but hay i can live with that.The liquid cant be that bad for you its in cough medicine and loads of other shit you eat drink.same stuff that they use in the smoke machine in the pubs and clubs.

That liquid is also in Asthma medicine so I don't think it can be bad for your lungs. Nicotine on it's own is about as bad for you as caffeine.

Propylene Glycol has been tested for years and been found to have no ill affects on us.Maybe some of the flavouring might be bad but still not in the same league as tobacco

read a thing earlier test had found 9 compounds in ecig vapour 1100 were found in fag smoke :blink:

And if the eu has its way they are going to ban or regulate Ecigs or put it in the hand of the pharmaceuticals or tobacco companies.Would be a shame if they fecked up maybe the best device to reduce health problems in smokers!!

Well done all you who have stopped, and to those that haven't, a cautionary tale...........

 

Short and sweet, I smoked for around 30 years. I made all the usual promises and New Year rezzie's, but they never lasted more than a few days.

 

One night I was watching TV when I suddenly felt like someone was sitting on my chest - the most incredible pain you can imagine, and then some more besides ! I was diagnosed as having suffered a myocardial infarction (heart attack in plain English), aged only 45 !

Damage to the heart muscle is irreparable - I have lost around 20% of my heart's capacity and narrowly avoided heart surgery. I have to undergo medical and blood tests twice a year and will have to take handfuls of tablets for the rest of my life. The consultant directly attributed this to smoking and said if I didn't stop, I would have another attack in the near future, which would probably prove fatal.

 

This was nearly 6 years ago. Haven't touched a fag since.........................!!

 

Don't just talk about it - do it, before it's too late!
