Re: Best way to quit smoking.

odie241 There may be a better one but the name of mine is intellicig-usa.com I chose them because they had the best price and good reputation. I have ordered from them several times and always received it in 2 days,they are located on the west coast and I am on the east so I think that is good service for $5 shipping.
Good luck. There is a learning curve on how to use it most effectively but there are videos on their website that will help. If you get one and have any issues I will be glad to help....I check this forum often so just post here. Again, good luck I know this thing has improved my health and hopefully has added a few more years onto my life.

A guy at work uses one of the electric cigarettes. So far its kept him off real cigarettes, but he is still inhaling nicotine in the water vapor. Better than regular smoking, I guess.

Mark it's not the nicotine that kills people, it's the 5000 known toxins in a cig that do. With these cigs they don't make the harmful second hand smoke plumes reg cigs are known for. A smoker won't harm himself nearly as bad with these new cigs and no one around them will be affected at all.

Re: Best way to quit smoking.

After 20 years of smoking a pack a day I gave them up two months ago. Withdrawal was rough but I kept reminding myself that it will pass. The biggest motivational factor for me is just to think about all the positive aspects to not smoking.

I have since bought a bicycle and ride it almost every day. I rode my longest ride yesterday at 15 miles. We are planning a 90 mile trip in the fall.

Quitting forever is a big commitment. Just wake up tomorrow and make a deal with yourself not to smoke that day.

Re: Best way to quit smoking.

I used to smoke 2 packs a day for 20 years.Tried to quite many times.Took "Chantix"for 1 week,threw my smokes away.Continued dosage for 4 more weeks and have been smoke free for over 2 years.(and did not try to kill myself! LOL!):D


A pack a day for 15 years. As of today haven't had a drag in 13 months! Life is good!

Use what ever it takes, you'll be happier in the long run. Never realized how bad myself and my stuff stank until now.

Was a 1-2 pack a day smoker for over 35 years. I had quit several times before - once for a whole year. The key for me was really wanting to quit and knowing it was time. A hypnotist really helped me out. It'll be three years smoke free in October. Still get an urge once in awhile but it passes quickly. Now wish I could drop the extra 20 pounds!

Re: Best way to quit smoking.

I quit cold turkey after 40 years and did I mention my third week of seven getting radiation treatment on my vocal cords?

I hate to say it, but to this day I love the smell of tobacco but the treatments and severe throat pain have kept me on the wagon since then.

Well, at least as far as the tobacco goes.

LOL to anyone trying, it's a tough habit to get over.
