The more I read, it sounds like it is making a difference overseas. And when I ever read last week about the fda, I couldn't help but to feel like I've made the 'harm reduction'(as this switch is referred to overseas) at quite a time in history. Because the states can only give the suggestion of not to until more is known, I have spent a lot of time reading their medical reports, etc. Of course, I want to make sure I haven't gone from bad to worse-and it's not looking like it is.
My cough has gone. I'm on day 38. I went to a family memorial service Sunday and noticed another former smoker using an ecig. My first weekend of quitting, I had it at a birthday party and a comment was made, "You're quitting? I quit 4 years ago. I'm off ecigs now, but...." it was a nice conversation.
I must say that unlike quitting in the past, I'm less stressed about it. Overseas they mention it's not just the physical aspect but behavioral as well.
Fingers crossed with this fda thing.
