Quiting Smoking.

[ddracer]

After see my mates from Uni at the weekend both Julie and myself have decided to stop smoking. My mate Simon used to smoke more than me (and I smoke way to much 20 roll ups per day) but quit using an e-cig he said once he found a flavor he liked he never smoked another tab again.

He pointed us to a website that sells hi quality ENI's and the liquid to put in them. Well I must say we are both really suprised they work really well, Julie is on the menthol and Im on a coffee flavor (with caffeine).

Everytime you want a tab just take a couple of puffs on the ENI and the craving goes. Setup was about £20 each but worth every penny.

If anyone wants more details PM me and I will give you some more details, as I don't want to advertise another site on this forum.

I stopped back in may, Used patches for a week, Then went cold turkey. The last month or so havent thought about it much...... put on a stone in weight though :ack2:

Found that when i wanted a cig, Id just go and fiddle, And didnt sit around after tea...

Good on you.

Gave up about 15 ish years ago now - I am a self-righteous ex-smoker - it's a filthy, disgusting, horrible habit.........:svengo: but on the other hand I know your pain - it's bleedin hard to give up and well worth eulogising about when you manage it. I believe the secret to packing the habit i shaving a good reason - so when the time comes that you get the urge for a fag, you have a good, decent and honest reason to say 'no'. Makes it all the more bareable and successful.

Go do it.

I gave up 18 months ago using gum.

Still want a cig every now and then but the urge is easily controlled and goes within seconds.

You have to want to give up or you will never give up.

Oh, and just got a bonus too last month cos off giving up smoking.

My fa contacted me and said he found a better premium for me and when I told him I have not smoked for 18 months as the only change to the policy I got insured for more money and still saved £40 a month :D So not smoking 15 a day plus that saving is sweeeeeet!!

Its the best thing you can do giving up mate and I will you and the mrs the best of luck.

And I too put on a stone and half since but that ok as I still lanky lol

I gave up while serving as a guard in a watch tower in a prison, we were allowed to smoke at will so as I watched my next cig burn down I asked myself why I was doing it!

I couldent find any logical reason for smoking so gave up on the spot, I shouted to a passing dog handler and told him "I Just Quit"!

That was twenty years ago and although I don't mind people smoking I really would support anyone trying to quit, if nothing else it will stop the government getting even more tax at your expense!

[ddracer]

Tom I have sent you a PM whith another company with a sale on at the moment.

[dw45]

A BIG WELL DONE and keep it up. No matter how you do it well done to the both off you.

I gave up 15 years ago put 2 stone on but still bet I'm healthier for it.

I don't think it is a habit it is a addiction, a legal drug but it was my choice I started like every one who does and I don't preach to those who still do it's there choice.

By calling them ENI's I know exactly where you are buying them :)

I have a blog about the various harm reduction alternatives to smoking

I would strongly recommend making your own liquids or importing, it is very likely to be banned in the Uk this month hence all the deals you will see around at the moment.

Great site I will sit and read through it later on. From what I have been reading by all accounts there has been talk of banning them for a couple of years it seems. With Tesco announcing they will be selling them next week (see link below) I’m sure it is more likely the government will just bang some tax on the nicotine e-liquid. That being said I have purchased enough Platinum Ice to last me a while at least until I have weaned myself off the nicotine once and for all.
