It is estimated that 90% of people who seek to quit smoking fail on their first attempt to quit.  Have you tried all the different ways to stop smoking, but you seem to just keep coming up short ?  The patch didn’t work, the gum didn’t work, the self help book or group didn’t work.  Does it seem like all your efforts have failed to get you to quit smoking?  If this description fits you , I may have the perfect solution for you. 

There is a brand new product out called the electronic cigarette which could very likely help you quit smoking tobacco cigarettes.  The problem with most of the other methods of quitting smoking tobacco cigarettes is that for all of them, you are not actually holding a cigarette and puffing away .  Smoking is both an addiction and a habit .  Often, habits can be even harder to break than addictions .  People become so used to dragging on a cigarette , it sometimes becomes almost second nature , not to mention the satisfaction they get from the nicotine. 

With the electronic cigarette, you can do something you cannot do with the other methods of stopping smoking.  You can 1) continue to smoke with the same frequency while decreasing your nicotine intake and 2) break your addiction to smoking and then work on breaking your habit of smoking.

This is possible due to the way the electronic cigarette (E-cig) works.  The E-cig contains cartridges which hold the nicotine.  These cartridges come in different nicotine strengths .  There is a high-nicotine cartridge, medium-nicotine, low-nicotine, and zero-nicotine cartridge.  To quit your addiction, you can first begin with the high-nicotine cartridge.  Use these for a little while and then switch to the medium-nicotine cartridge.  You can continue smoking with the same frequency but you will still be slowly weaning yourself from your dependence of nicotine .  Then, after a few more weeks , switch to the low-nicotine cartridge and then to the zero-nicotine cartridge.  Once you are smoking with the zero-nicotine cartridges, you have weaned yourself from your nicotine addiction and can now begin breaking your habit of smoking.  Or if you choose, you can just continue to smoke with the zero-nicotine cartridges with the satisfaction that you have rid of your addiction. 

There are many, many other advantages to switching to the electronic cigarette, whether you implement it to quit or just as a healthier alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes.  There are health benefits (the E-cig contains none of the harmful toxins and carcinogens found in tobacco cigarettes), financial benefits (save money), and social benefits (smoke anywhere even where smoking has been banned).

So whether you use the electronic cigarette to quit smoking or simply as an alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes, you will be doing you and your body a huge favor in more ways than one.

I am trying to find an effective way to quit. I have looked into electronic cigarettes and wondering if it works to quit? If so, which ones are the best brand to go with?

Hi and Happy New Year!

Some say that using electronic cigarettes can help you quit smoking. Currently there is no scientific evidence for or against it. One option is to gradually lower the level of nicotine in your cartridges to become nicotine and tobacco free.

The other option is to smoke electronic cigarettes with zero nicotine cartridges while applying nicotine patches. That way you separate addiction and habit.

I would recommend one of the five brands listed here.

All these ecigs are popular and have received good user ratings.

A single pack of cigarettes is 20 cigs in a pack, and a multi-pack is 10 single packs. What I mean is, if i go to buy a single-pack and a multi-pack at the store, will the tax on both of them be the same? I know the tax on single-packs is $0.62, but what about multi-packs?

There is no quanity discount. The tax is per cigarette, or more properly, per 1,000. Think how much you could save and how much longer you will live if you give up the habit.

A pack of cigarettes will have a 1 dollar tax on it starting Wednesday, April 1st 2009. Maybe it’s a giant April Fools’ joke directed at smokers, maybe it’s for real. I would recommend you buy as many packs as you can before Wednesday to save some major kablinkie. So if you smoke, or are thinking about becoming addicted in the near future, go to your local cigarette store and buy up the whole supply before they start costing you a lung and a trachea. If you don’t you could end up kicking yourself, and your leg will be too tired to then kick the habit.

“Medical groups see a tax increase right in the middle of a recession as a great incentive to help persuade smokers to quit.” HAHAHA…

You might be wondering how I manage to keep giving out these awesomely good ideas that could change the world and make me an emperor, well, the fact of that matter is I have so many ideas these are the ones at the bottom of the barrel BUT also I would really like them to be put into action, because I care…

President Obama just signed a bill to increase cigarette tax to fund child health care, the first step towards universal health care.

Is this fair to those smokers who do not have children, never plan to have them? And why should smokers shoulder the entire burden?
If somebody can’t afford health care for their kids, STOP HAVING KIDS!
agree? disagree? why?

The bill is stupid.

There is no way the current number of smokers in the country could fund this bill. And the more they raise cigarette taxes, the more smokers will give up their habit. So how does that make sense to anyone with a brain?

Does that mean Obama wants people to START smoking in order to fund it? Or is it… as is more likely the case… his way to slip the bill in, because after all who doesn’t want to slam cigarette smokers more. But once the bill is passed and obviously not getting the funds it needs, then they can start taxing the rest of us even more. Because have you EVER known the government to stop funding their pet causes once they get a bill passed? No, they just raise taxes.

“Light” cigarettes can deliver the same levels of tar and nicotine to smokers as regular cigarettes. How have cigarette companies advertised this fact?

choices:
1. By putting it in really tiny type at the bottom of cigarette packs.
2. By not saying anything.
3. By advertising them as less harmful anyway!
4. By apologizing.

can anyone help?

Cigarette companies sell a product that is the number one cause of death in America and get away with it, people who smoke light and ultra light cigarettes often will get lung cancer starting deeper in the lungs due to the habit of inhaling more to get the smoke out of the cigarette. Even with packs going for 6 bucks here in Florida people are still paying hard earned dollars to slowly kill themselves. The light and ultra light cigarettes are just as dangerous as regular cigs, when the Government bans the use of those labels they will just switch to a new labeling tactic.

It was a Sunday morning, I woke up late and turned in my bed in search of a cigarette.

While turning my pillow I felt a peculiar burnt smell which was not a pleasant one.

I tried to find out what was the smell due to?

I rubbed my head with my hand and smelt.

It was the same nasty smell more intense.

It was the smell of cigarette smoke!

On Saturday night I was with two of my friends in a small stuffy French pub where men and women smoked, drunk and danced all night.

We also participated in those activities and enjoyed the night.

It was at 3 am, my friends dropped me at my apartment.

Somehow I could open the door and entered the room.

After smoking a cigarette, I slept.

The puffing in the pub by so many people stuffed the smoke into every ones dress, body including the exposed hair of the head.

I never realized the harmful nature of the tobacco smoke, but I thought it was fun and enjoyment.

It was when I left for France 40 years ago, I started smoking the foreign cigarettes to start with.

Later when I came back to India, the habit continued till 1996.

When I used to travel in train, I used to smoke without any respect for the co-passengers – men, women or children.

I was deriving a kind of pleasure in taking out a cigarette from the pack and light it either with a lighter which I brought from France or later with match stick made in Sivakasi.

I left smoking three times on the eves of New Year.

It hardly lasted for a month or two.

During this period I used to have good apatite and put on weight.

I read some where one of the consequences of quitting smoking is increase in body weight.

In spite of my wife, son and daughter’s advice, I could not leave smoking.

In 1996, one fine morning, I decided myself with a great determination and will power ‘not to smoke’ from that day.

Fortunately it continues to date.

When I travel, I could smell the cigarette or beedi smoke coming from long distance.

When I used to smoke in those days, I never could smell the smoke coming out of my cigarette.

Now I have become so sensitive to the bad smell of cigarette smoke.

I realized how harmful I was for those who traveled with me in those days.

Also I felt sorry that how much displeasure I would have caused to those men, women and children who never asked me to stop smoking.

What a shameful life I lived making others uncomfortable.

They would have cursed me in their mind.

Two years ago when I was traveling in the train, a middle aged man was smoking in the compartment as I used to do earlier.

I saw an young lady, came to him and requested him to stop smoking.

The man who was smoking felt very bad and extinguished the bit of burning cigarette and threw it out.

I was happy that such an incident did not happen to me in those days!

Every one has a freedom to express to safeguard public health.

That was what that young lady did boldly.

Tobacco consumption in whatever form is harmful for health.

It appears that China is the largest producer and consumer of tobacco.

There are 350 million smokers in China according to an article published in a news paper.

It is a common ritual in Chinese wedding it adds.

Banning tobacco cultivation itself is one way of putting off puffing.

Increasing the cost of cigarette and its associates by imposing taxes is another measure many Governments took.

The Finance Minister in every year budget speech made it a point to add tax for cigarettes and tobacco products.

The Governments gave statutory warning in cigarette packets itself saying cigarette smoking is injurious to health to create awareness.

Recently one of the health ministers of Government of India brought a rule that smoking scenes should not be shown in cinema.

These are measures to create awareness among the public not to smoke.

Tobacco business is a biggest money earner in many countries.

Millions of people are employed in both production and processing of tobacco.

Considering the economic importance of income and creation of employment for country men and women, it becomes a sensitive issue for governments to bring strict rules to abolish the use of tobacco.

However, health consciousness among the public has brought down the smoking to a considerable extent.

It is a good sign; even without imposing hard rules, people themselves change for the best.

We hope the World No Tobacco Day on 31 May every year will remind people to wind up the bad habit of smoking and other ways of consuming tobacco.
