Post Stop Smoking With The E-Cigarette

Gum and patches offer a remedy to wean people off the addiction to the substance but do nothing for the habit itself, it gives them the nicotine they needed but are no comparison for the process of taking a cigarette out of the pack and lighting it when at a club with friends or going through a traumatic period. However help is at hand for those in the form of the E-cigarette.

The E-cigarette looks, and in many cases, acts just like a normal cigarette without delivering the harmful toxins and other carcogins in the cigarette. To ensure smokers don’t become addicted to the E-cigarette a measurement device is included in the dispenser which monitors the number of time the cigarette is ’smoked’ and gradually limits the amount of nicotine dispensed. The cigarette tip will flicker if the device is used more than 16 times in a minute, indicating to the smoker that they should stop using the device. With each cartridge delivering the same nicotine as a 30 pack of cigarettes this economical product is sure to become a popular item for those looking to kick the habit.

Hmmmmm...not sure how I feel about that one. If it works for folks sure--then I'm all for it. I quit with a combination of the patch, zyban, and nicotine free herbal cigarettes for those times the urge to inhale smoke would have made me go out and buy a pack and take off the patch. It worked for me--but that's me.

I like the idea, and I WOULD try it...

I just don't trust inhaling products that are made in China.

I'd try it but everybody in my house would have to try and quit with me cause we have the social aspects of smoking to get over.
Besides, I heard people who smoke are much less likely to have Alzheimer's disease,
Guess I'd rather go out suffocating than peeing in my shoe.
No offense.
