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.

So i have been seeing these plastic/metal cigarette looking things that burn pure nicotine and create steam instead of smoke. No lighter is needed and you could technically smoke one anywhere without the smell of smoke. Anyone know what this is called or a website where i could get one? Thanks.
Oh yeah I guess it’s a Canadian product.. Vancouver maybe.
Yeah i think thats them!!! they are totaly awesome. I guess i could keep buying flavored tobacco for it and it lasts a lifetime.

Great info Zach, definitly getting one.

There are two major versions of this, though they are both essentially the same thing One is marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes. The other is a Nicorette product to help you quit smoking altogether.

For the first, it is the E-Cig. It is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotine solution. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.

The electronic cigarette usually takes the form of some manner of elongated tube, though many are designed to resemble the outward appearance of real smoking products, like cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. A common design is also the "pen-style", so named for its visual resemblance to a ballpoint pen.

The product to help you quit is a nicotine inhalator, or inhaler as it is also known, is a plastic, cigarette – shaped device, that consists of a mouthpiece and a nicotine cartridge, which delivers nicotine when you puff or suck on it. The nicotine is released as a vapour, enters the mouth and throat area and is absorbed through the inner lining of the cheeks and lips, from where it enters the bloodstream and travels to the brain. None of the nicotine is drawn into or enters the lungs, making it much safer than smoking a cigarette.

Each nicotine cartridge contains enough nicotine for around 400 puffs. To release the equivalent amount of nicotine contained in a cigarette, you would need to puff on the inhaler about 80 times. If the smoker continually sucked on the inhaler, each cartridge would last for about 20 minutes. The recommended number of cartridges that should be used in one day is between 6 and 12 depending on how many cigarettes the smoker was used to smoking. Usually one cartridge is used in three separate 20-minute sessions.

Although your body will acquire just the right amount of nicotine that it needs to control the withdrawal symptoms from not smoking, it will not receive any of the harmful substances like tar, carbon monoxide and all the other numerous carcinogens and poisonous toxins that also enter the body when smoking a cigarette.

The nicotine inhalator is particularly useful and valuable for those smokers who miss the physical action of smoking a cigarette, as it keeps the hands busy as if you were holding and smoking a cigarette. It is actually the only form of NRT that addresses the physical side of smoking a cigarette and the addiction to nicotine.

Can electronic cigarettes help you quit smoking and what are they anyway?

Asked recently to write about electronic cigarettes, I have to confess that I had never heard of such a thing. Some internet research later and I discovered that electronic cigarettes are very much a quickly growing concern. A Google search revealed there is no smoke without fire as almost six million results just for the phrase “electronic cigarette” were returned.

In existence for about three years, the electronic cigarette is a unique device intended to allow smokers to continue smoking but with either none or vastly reduced health concerns. According to many electronic cigarette distributers they are also very helpful for quitting smoking altogether.

Now in a fourth generation, electronic cigarettes have become much more user friendly than earlier versions which perhaps were a little too large to encourage a mass market appeal. The “mini” is the most realistic e cigarette to date with its length of 100mm being the same as a conventional cigarette.

An electronic cigarette contains a taste of tobacco but none of the harmful substances found in normal cigarettes allowing smokers cravings to be satisfied without inhaling the many dangerous toxins. Is it all smoke and mirrors? Or can this item really be the saviour it wants to be?

A battery, an atomiser and a renewable nicotine chamber allows the smoker to hold and smoke the electronic cigarette just as they would any other cigarette, even creating a “smoke” like vapour and glow at the end as they draw. The nicotine chamber proves very useful as cartridges are available in different strengths, permitting the user to reduce the amount of nicotine they intake until if they wish, can quit completely.

At a time when money is tighter than ever, distributors of electronic cigerattes have estimated that a huge eighty per cent saving can be made compared to smoking normal cigarettes as a typical nicotine cartridge lasts as long as fifteen to twenty normal cigarettes.

Appearing to be a much healthier alternative at least on the surface, dig a little deeper and more benefits seem reveal themselves. Smoking legally in public being one. As there are no known harmful substances being emitted from the electronic cigarette it does not fall into the same legal trappings of normal cigarettes. Smokers could remain in their warm office, restaurant or pub and smoke their electronic cigarette.

None smokers also will benefit, as their worries about passive smoking are rendered null and void by the electronic cigarette. A much more sociable environment then!

Upon reflection the electronic cigarette is a healthier, cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative to smoking and as the awareness and the market grows they have great potential to successfully replace the harmful cigarettes we have all come to know and many of us have come to dread and fear.
