Best of luck, Raspberry, I know how brutal it is. A few months ago I switched to e-cigarettes and discovered that I actually really like them. That I know of, there isn't evidence out there that they're better for you than real cigarettes, but I've found that I no longer have any chest congestion or cough, yeaaaa.

That said, depending on how much you smoke, they're not cheap either.

Obviously, it's better to quit entirely. I think I might like the e-cigs too much, though, but that said, if you don't like them too much, it might be a good stepping stone towards quitting. Then you can go down to Nicorette, etc.
