The ecig is the only thing that worked for me, a 35 year smoker, who had tried everything from prescription to over-the-counter to cold turkey. Now, after 1.5 years of using the ecig as a quit device, I no longer even think about smoking. I can go without the ecig for weeks, months, without any withdrawal effects, can take trips with my nonsmoker friends without the crutch of the cig or ecig. I've probably saved over $1,000.
Interestingly, I've found that regardless of the nicotine content of the juice, whether high, med., low or even zero, there is no addictive effect. I know they say nicotine is the addictive substance that keeps one chained to tobacco, but from my exp, I truly believe the tobacco companies put something extra in the cigs, to keep us enslaved! And, they are fighting tooth and nail to get the ecig banned.
I recommend the ecig to anyone who wants to quit!
