Like I said, some of them may not have a smell, but some of them do.

Good luck on conquering your addiction.

Wonder what California nannies think of belching or farting. That’s releasing dangerous gases into the atmosphere too.

You didn’t ask me but I figured I would offer up the ones that we are using. We did this before but the batteries and draw was unreliable and frustrating and we gave up. (we tried Blu and volcano)

The new ones we are using are much better and it is working well for me, except for when I first wake in the mornings. I vape and fight myself through my first cup of coffee. After the nicotine is in my system the drive eases.

Also, these are like a ratchet handle but darn it they work good and are satisfying! I intend to get off these at some point, too.

We are using the ballistixx, we got the tank and two batteries. The juice that I’ve found to be the best is Doc Holiday and Backwoods Brew. My husband’s favorite is the Doc Holiday, we smoked Marlboro lights.

Thanks. As a Marlboro light smoker I trust your judgement and recommendation. All I need is the willpower and God’s help.

LOL! Apparently they haven’t seen the light yet. Some CEU’s at the next medical seminar and they may have to adjust their decision making process. :>}

The only solution is to tax it!

I like the Made in America aspect, so Johnson Creek is on my to-buy list. It sounds like I need to try a few brands then decide what works best. Thanks!

The nicotine is a drug, but it is the smoke that causes cancer. So it is a lesser of two evils.

Good for you! If anything drives me to really quit the habit, it will be the cost. It’s hard.

Personally, e-cigs didn’t work for me. Just like patches, “light” one, finish and then light the real thing. I’d wear patches and smoke at the same time. The only thing I found that worked for me was literally making myself sick of cigs. I was well over 3 packs a day when I quit cold. Haven’t had a puff since 10/26/2011.

I don’t hassle smokers, in fact a number of my friends smoke. there is something to be said about the smell of a cig...and it is nice to not have to stand out in the rain or the freezing cold just to light up!

There’s a lot of smells I don’t like, but when you go out the world doesn’t revolve around you. Walk away!

I have been more than 140 days without a smoke. And I could not have done it without E-cigs.

Nineteen months for me thanks to E-cigs.

I also have used the nicotine free ones and the only difference I could tell is that the nicotine free didn't functions as well or last as long. I certainly didn't miss the nicotine.

You almost puked from what?

I had an unlit cigarette in my mouth years ago and a woman went into a coughing fit. Her husband asked her what was wrong and she responded that my cigarette was choking her.

He informed her it wasn't even lit and she responded that something was making her sick. He coldly stared at her and informed her that she was making him sick.

Smoke Nazis don't want anyone to even appear they are enjoying themselves.

It wasn’t so bad this time around. We put a pack on the patio and stepped out for a real smoke only when it was driving us up the wall. That was the only pack we had so of course we were careful to only have one when we couldn’t stand it any longer.

We found the prices in the vape shops can be better for juice and that is where we discovered the Doc Holiday. My husband got our tank and batteries online.

The initial set up costs were a pain but the savings after are awesome! You can do it, there will be tough moments but it’s worth it. We did eat a bit more the first couple of week and so we are also doing Weight Watchers online to help keep us in check.

Good luck!

the power of suggestion wasn’t an issue.

I quit cigarettes while in the hospital after a heart attack. The doctors and nurses praised me for trying to quit and happily allowed me to use E-cigs in my hospital room.

Good for you!

Well, for me I have to admit it, it IS the nicotine!
I know my throat, which was starting to really hurt, is much, much better.

My lungs have cleared quite a bit too.

Now I was a smoker for nearly 40 years, and smoked between 1 1/2 and 2 packs a day of Marlboros.

Once in a blue moon I get a sense that it would be nice to have a smoke but it quickly passes, I do not want ever to go back!
