I've been smoking cigs for almost a decade, and have always assumed that some day I would quit. Well, I think I finally have found a way to do it that I had to share because this could help a lot of people quit smoking.
While I am no longer smoking, I am now instead vaping as it is known in the world of electronic cigarettes. I am now 10 days cigarette free and its getting easier each day.
The electronic cigarette is a simple device, and actually shares a lot in common with a flashlight. It's a body that holds a battery, a switch of some sort, and a heating element (think bulb filament) that vaporizes a liquid that is wicked into that heating element from a poly-fill or wool wadding of sorts.
As I see it, the advantage to this quit-smoking method is that it delivers a similar feel as the real deal and partially satisfies the addiction to the ACT of smoking.
If you are serious about quitting smoking I highly encourage you to go do some research on these devices and give this a try. I went straight to a big battery mod style device, which is even more like a flashlight than most ecigs in that it has a removable loose li-ion cell as its power source. I am using AW IMR14500s in my ecig. Yes its larger than a cig, but this way I have plenty of stored energy to make it through a day of vaping without dealing with battery changes and such.
The transition in the first couple days is hard as the body adjusts to the new absorption method and the less than natural nicotine that most liquids probably use, but once adjusted, the ecig kind of replaces the cigarette as the new dirty habit. Whether or not I will be able to quit the ecig, is of far less importance than avoiding real cigarettes. While its still an addiction and a bad habit, I have been lead to believe that it is magnitudes safer than real cigarettes. Quitting vaping is also probably easier to do because there are different strengths of nicotine available for the juices, doing a step-down program is relatively straight forward and initiated by the user at any time by simply buying different juice. Also, there is juice available with no nicotine at all, so you can continue to satisfy the craving for the act and completely eliminate the chemical addiction. I see this as a step towards completely quiting that is not available in any other quit-smoking-method.
Vaping can actually be cheaper than smoking. As far as I know, vaping is the cheapest longer term quit-smoking aid that delivers nicotine.
Yall quit smoking now ya hear?
