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.
