E cigarettes

[Denis Kolar]

If you want to smoke, call your state, they might have a program for "quitters" .
I got a month supply of patches, and I was due to receive another month. I have quit smoking and stopped using them after only two weeks.

Good luck

I meant to say:
If you want to quit smoking

I was really never a heavy smoker (a pack a day) but I quit right after my first daughter was born which coincided with the death of a very dear friend who died of lung cancer at the age of 27. She had a one in the ash tray and one in the hand constantly. It was the best thing I ever did. I could not believe how much better I felt.  The thing I found is I was always using a smoke as a reward. I'll do this first and have a cig. type thing. It became as much as a psychological addiction as anything else.  I got into running and that helped.  It took me about a year before I quit craving but now the smell of smoke makes me sick. I can't stand to go into a "smoker's home" or anyplace (bars) where smoking is allowed.

Sounds like a real opportunity here. How about an e-smoke app for your smart-ass phones?

I found E-Cigarettes to reduce the number of real cigarettes I smoke, but not stop completely.
My girlfriend calls it a machine.

I am however one of those lucky people that can take or leave smoking. Except when I'm drinking.

After 25+ years of smoking I finally quit.  I cheated though and used Chantix.  That stuff was amazing.  I still have a crave here and there but I don't want to light up.  I feel so much better.  I also get more crap done because I'm not stopping and having a smoke break.

I used to smoke about 4 of 'em before I left the house for work in the morning. The first few with a cup of coffee while I read the paper, or sitting in a bar, were the ones I missed the most.
The guys I know who smoke the e-cigs buy their stuff from 3rd party vendors, and I guess aside from the nicotine, there's a bunch of flavorings you can get, including bubble-gum.

you can do it. I started in '64 and quit in '81, a 2 pack a day smoker, and Marlboros to boot. Though it may not be for everyone,  I used hypnosis. 4 visits, and it's as though I never started. Every single trigger, like after food, or sex of course , or waking up in the morning for that matter, was gone. Remember, you had to teach yourself to smoke, to over ride the choking reflex. The last 3 days I smoked, I was allowed to have 5 a day; I smoked all 5 before 9:00 am, then went the rest of the day without. That's when I knew that I had quit, really quit, deep down inside, to the point that there was no withdrawal at all. Like Nike says, just do it.

Anyone remember their FIRST smoke? I was about 14 and my sister had taken up smoking (Larks) behind my folks back. I knew where she kept 'em so I swiped one and went out onto the carport and lit up. Was really going to town, feeling all tough, and then the wave of nausea came over me. I didn't hurl, but damn near did. Aside from just puffing on one once in awhile, or smoking Swisher Sweets and Hav-A-Tampa Jewels while getting drunk at the drive-in, that was it for real smoking until I started college.

I have tried the E-Cig and it just never caught on with me.
How much is the Chantix regimin?
