BEST IDEA TO QUIT SMOKING, or for someone whom you want to quit

Ok, i know many non-smokers don't realize how hard it is to quit but for the smokers out there you all know the feeling. I mean there are patches, nicotine gum and prescription pills that i havent heard great things about. Then other procedures too.

BUt yesterday i saw someone with the BEST thing ever and i seriously was so excited about it and for once in my life thought OMG this will actually work.

My dads friend had this cigarette looking thing, at first i thought it was a cigarette but when i looked closer i realized it wasn't. DH and I asked him about it and he explained it all to us. Its an electric cigarette, even blows out smoke but its more like steam or something. We tried one that he had, he had an extra one on him and when you inhale it actually feels like you are smoking a cigarette. He said they also have different flavors if you want too like apple, coffee and a bunch of others.

This is actually great bc its not just the nicotine addiction you deal with but the whole process of smoking, it becomes routine and an oral fixation. Whoever came up with this is a genius lol.

DH and I are going on Saturday to buy it, they sell it at queens center mall too along with other places. It has a battery you charge, and then just the filter part which you can remove you have to replace ever so often. At first it is a bit pricey but in the end will be cheaper especially with cigs about $10 a pack now, well 9.50. Plus most importantly can help you quit. You buy the package that has a few filters batteries and other stuff for $100 and then after that the things you need to refill he even told us where to get it for $2 each and lasts as long as pack of cigs would.

Thought it would be very helpful for anyone wanting to quit or even those non-smokers who have a loved one that smokes

its called smoking everywhere, here is the site.

I'm a smoker too, but wouldn't this device still enable your oral fixation? Isn't that one of the major habits that needs to be broken?

I've tried to quit 2 times and it wasn't pretty.

well thats the thing, thats the hard part to give up and this way at least you still get that part out of it. This isn't to do forever, the person i know has been using this for 2 months and has lost the desire to smoke really and hasnt really smoked any real cigs. And at least its an oral fixation that doesn't kill you lol. BUt you do this until you finally lose the desire to smoke and then stop completely

TO just quit cold turkey is hard and the whole routine of it is what i think makes ppl give in and then smoke

exactly and this way after a meal i can get that same type of effect or going out for a cig if i get the craving i can use this and will feel exactly the same.

I figure at this point i have an oral fixation with real cigs that are dangerous and hurts me, or with an electric cigarette that will help me quit.

Denise I am so buying this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The habit of it is my hardest part to quit! I go a whole day of work w/o smoking bc since I work with kids I dont want to smell like smoke...but when Im driving, talking on the phone, with friends, I like the actual physical motions of smoking (only a smoker can understand what the heck I mean by this ) I am excited....thanks for the tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well if you buy this and it works then im glad if it helps

I know im excited about it too, i took a pull and it was great. You can even do it indoors at places since there is no smoke, well smoke comes out but its steam and doesnt smell

i know 2 people who recently quit smoking
They smoked since they were teens and are in their 50's now. They quit using Chantix
They used to smoke 2-3 packs a day

yeah i heard of chantix, ive heard mixed reviews regarding side effects. Of course not everybody will deal with the side effects but most medications have a bad effect on me so i am afraid bc of that.

Yea defin but your not on it for long believe it or not.
Its incredible to me that people who smoked their entire life so much can quit with a pill.
I think your only on the pill a few weeks if that. its not permanent

Also you have to want to quit thats the first step

thanks Nicole, I think i'll try this first though. I am someone who rarely even takes advil lol and as far as over the counter stuff i only take advil or something that is gel coated, other pills dry my throat completely and i get sick lol.

I did Chantix..I didnt have the side effects, my friend had night mares and all wierd side effects. Honestly it worked well...buttttttttt obviously it didn't stick with me, I guess I wasn't 'ready'. I am 'ready' now....I have been smoking a lot less...but it is just hard for me to get used to the idea of not having that crutch, which is why this electronic cigg sounds awesome

i know i cant wait to get it, i am even so happy bc my dad said he was gonna get it this weekend too.

Yesterday when my dads friend showed up with this, for us we felt it was even more reason to stop bc it was at a wake for a friend of my parents who died of lung cancer. Made us think about it even more and why we need to quit.

I am so sorry to hear that. My friend lost her mom to lung cancer, and it all happened so quickly, it was really awful.

Honestly, I am embarrassed to smoke publicly, I rarely do, unless Im out at night..bar/lounge type thing otherwise it's out my window at home or my car....it is an awful habit. At least with the price of ciggs now kids will be less likely to start!

thank you, yeah same happened with this person. He had just found out a few months ago and was in the hospital since he found out and then they gave him 1-3 months and passed away this weekend. It was about a month like they said.

Yeah sometimes i do too, and the worst is the smell. Especially when you walk inside somewhere after coming from outside smoking, it just smells so much.

thank you soo much for posting this! my brother is trying to quit, and has done EVERYTHING and still goes back to it. I'm going to send him this link, hopefully he will stop!

And for everyone else who wants to stop, I hope you can too!

you're very welcome, i hope he will quit now.

I hope i will too, its time

DH and I quit cold turkey at different times. He smoked way more than I did and we both never thought he could do it. He did. I think it's more the mentality that you're done with it more than anything.

MIL was on chantix and she did great on it. Then she dealt with some stress and went back to smoking. To me it was an excuse to start smoking because if she really wanted to she would have not started again. I get it's an addiction, I was a smoker, and yes it's hard, but I really feel that some people just don't want to quit because they like it too much.

Good luck with it! I hope it works for you! You'll definitely save a lot more money by quitting too!
