Stop Smoking Safely with an E Cigarette

This January close to 34 million American smokers will make the New Year’s resolution to stop smoking. This time like any other year only roughly 1.3 million of these smokers will succeed in quitting. Perhaps you and people you know have tried to quit before. People try and fail many times. So why does everyone want to quit but only a fraction actually succeed? The simple answer is many don’t know how to quit or don’t have the resolve. Studies prove that one of the most important characteristics of a successful quitter is their belief that they have the power to quit smoking. What if you can’t quit? What if there was a way to smoke safer without quiting?

What if you decide to make positive change, taking simple steps towards quitting and bettering your situation? E Cigarettes are the latest tool to assist you to start taking control and preparing yourself to quit smoking. E Cigarettes look just like cigarettes, feel just like cigarettes, taste just like cigarettes, but they come without the variety of health hazards of regular smoking like toxic smoke.

An electronic cigarette or “e cigarette ” is a tiny battery-powered device shaped like a cigarette that gives you a controlled amount of nicotine similar to an inhaler. The device uses a heating mechanism to vaporize a a special liquid nicotine called E Liquid. The harmless vapor mist also provides flavor and a physical sensation close to that of inhaled tobacco smoke. No tobacco is actually involved while operating the e cigarette . When you puff the e cigarette, a electronic sensor detects air flow and activates a heating element that vaporizes the nicotine solution stored in the mouth of the e cigarette A red LED on the opposite end of the e cigarette fires during inhalation, creating the the firey glow of smoking a traditional cigarette.

So why are e cigarettes better for you?

Scientific studies show that there are approximately 4,000 chemical compounds released when burning a regular tobacco cigarette and close to 60 to 70 known carcinogens and toxins eventually causing life threatening cancer. The e cigarette liquid nicotine contains 10 to 20 ingredients, which varies based on the manufacturer, and emits harmless vapor. No second hand smoke production means that you will not be hurting others around you with carbon monoxide. You can smoke almost anywhere, even in public and sometimes otherwise restricted locations. This method of smoking is clean and leaves no trace odors on your body, home, car, or clothes. Imagine no longer needing an ash tray or smelling like one.

E Cigarettes operate using refillable cartridges in varying nicotine levels such as high, medium, low, and zero nicotine as well as enjoyable flavors. This enables you to slowly lower your nicotine intake and make that first move towards quitting. Independent testing has revealed the everyday smoker takes in right around 15 puffs of a regular cigarette. Based on this figure, a filled cartridge is just about equal to about 10 normal cigarettes, but this could vary based on the brand’s make and model. Varying reports indicate that it changes based on how much the e-cigarette is operated durning the day and how deeply the user inhales. One bottle of E Liquid Nicotine can be used to refill the cartridges several times over. So based on the spiraling expenses and taxes incurred with regular tobacco you should experience massive savings along with great health benefits.

Modern manufacturers are so confident you will make the switch they are even offering risk free trials of their top of the line e cigarette starting kits so you will experience the benefits first hand for just covering shipping costs. When you add up all the benefits you’ll surely realize that even if you can’t give up smokingright now, you owe it to yourself to explore this safer and cleaner electronic smoking alternative.

What natural things are there to help me quit smoking?

I want to quit smoking and I’m allergic to the patch. I wanted to know what are some natural ways to quit smoking like stuff at the health food store and stuff like that. I have heard of the St. John’s Wort but I also wanted to keep looking. I can’t quit cold turkey. I have tried at that several times and I failed.

Lobellia. My mother had a hard time quitting, and this really helped. It tricks the brain into thinking its nicotine, but there are no side affects. You can get it at a health food store, buy the drops, not a powder or anything else. Take it directly or in juice etc. You use 3-10 drops, throughout the day. It tastes like tobacco :P
It also relaxes muscles and (well, with me anyway) makes you happy.

I have never smoked myself, but I bought it for my mother and she uses it. She keeps a small dropper-bottle in her purse for on-the go use.
Try not to smoke anything, not an herb to help you quit or nothing. Smoking is a habit of the mouth, and most people who try to smoke an alternative, dont always quit right, or go back to the habit years later. And smoking anything still will damage the lungs, so quit slowly, my mom did it in over 2 1/2 weeks.

If you have quit smoking or are trying to quit, what is your biggest challenge?

I quit smoking in 1971. Except for a few cigars I haven’t smoked since and my last cigar was in 1977. Have you quit or are you trying to kick the habit? I quit cold turkey without a support group or any kind of medicine or other aid. Once I firmly decided to quit I had no trouble staying quit, but I did backslide several times on the way to successfully quitting. I never doubted I could kick the habit, though it was not easy to quit after years as a smoker.
Between my first serious attempt to quit smoking and my final successful attempt there was a span of six years and probably four or five tries to quit. It was not easy, and the hardest part was being around other people who smoked. In one of those tries I was smoke-free for nearly three years before I backslid into the habit. So I respect anyone who has tried–failed or succeeded–and I fully sympathize with those who have the habit and want to quit.

Great answers, everyone. Thanks for participating. If you’ve quit, congratulations. If you’ve tried and failed, I respect your efforts and wish you the best.

The cost is one factor that helps me stay quit. When I last smoked cigarettes cost about 40 cents a pack.

Hi warren..

congrats on that time its impressive.. i have been free for over 5 years now.. after smoking for more than 40 years.. the thing that worked for me was a support group..

the biggest challenge, was to become convinced, i couldent smoke just one..
