Default stopping smoking with e-cigs.

I've recently started to use an e cig to help me stop smoking, I was never a big smoker and only smoked at work and on nights out. It was more the hand to mouth thing that I needed .

Any way I've bought an e cig called the tesla spider with a mini nautilus tank. I'm using some great juices aswell. I have a couple one is called black powder and is an aniseed and liquorice combo and the other is called Marshall traite.

What are you using if you do vape and what flavours do you use?
I got them from a website that sell other flavours too. Give them a try.

The website is called www.plumeblu.co.uk they are all made fresh in the uk and are pretty cheap.

The one I use gives off pretty decent clouds and has a good kick.

So if anyone is going to try and give up smoking for the new year resolutions. .....give them a go.

They're a rubbish idea, if you want to stop smoking just stop...


'Since November, manufacturers have been allowed to advertise the use of electronic cigarettes on TV, as long as they do not promote tobacco or target non-smokers or young people.

Critics of so-called e-cigarettes argue that the devices may encourage people to see smoking as acceptable.'

They were banned for the same reason cigs were, they don't want to glamourise smoking.

I'm evidence of that, I started to look older, and fit in with the arty set who sat in a smoky haze writing poetry and sketching.

They're brilliant. As for the just "stop" nonsense. Cigarettes are extremely addictive it's hard to just stop.

Anyhow I use the plain tobacco one max strength.

I know I managed to get myself addicted twice.
It is possible to stop without ecigs, never said it would be easy mind.

So they aren't a rubbish idea then like you first claimed above, plenty of people think the opposite of that and it's been proven over and over again that they can work.

So what if they do, I still think as an aid to stop smoking using something that contains nicotine is rubbish.

Just because you think something doesn't make it fact though, plenty of people manage to stop with the help of the ecigs as well as other things that contain nicotine like patches, gum etc...if it gets people off of the real cigs then there's nothing rubbish about it IMO.

My brother in law was a really heavy smoker, used the ecigs for a bit and they helped him to stop completely, Stuarts aunt too she was a heavy smoker for years and after being on the ecig for a few months she doesn't touch either any more.

I quit cold turkey. It was extremely difficult though.

I know folks who have quit using the e-cigs.

My o/h has tried e-cigs, patches, pills, etc. Nothing seems to work for him. I guess it's just down to everyone's individual willpower.

If they work for you, they're worth it though.. anything is.

Nicotine in itself is the addictive substance of cigs but actually ingested it's not harmful per se.....it's the rest of the crap in cigarettes that causes the health problems, that's why doctors will prescribe NRT products. Anything that helps you stop smoking in the traditional sense is good IMO.

If nicotine is the only thing you stay addicted to and you're not putting all of the other crap in your body, I see them as only a good thing.

I''m going over to vapes once I have smoked all my duty frees from Vietnam. I'm not addicted to nicotine, I AM addicted to the act of smoking. My son had a vape around here a coupla months ago and I loved it.

I honestly believe this will help me stop cigs. I can inhale, then exhale big puffy clouds. That'll do me.
