E-Cigs I am about to start. Quitting is the goal

[Mariana]

13. I've been using them for 11 months. No smoking at all.

I made the switch a couple days after I put my house up for sale and I was preparing to move to another state! That's how well they worked for me. NO ONE quits smoking at a time like that - but I did.

I didn't plan it that way. I'd done the research and decided which model to get, and was planning to do it after the move. Then the model I'd chosen went on sale for half price, so I bought two starter kits, a pack of 5 atomizers, and a pack of 5 trial sizes of e-liquid in various flavors. When the stuff arrived, I opened it up and tried it because I had to make sure everything worked - I still had no intention of trying to make the switch then! Well, I changed my mind. It was nice. I liked it better than smoking. I liked it so much I haven't smoked since.

You know what was cool? I'd never smoked in the house, so there was no smoke smell inside to begin with. But with the e-cig, there's no odor. I got a real kick out of "smoking" in the house while potential buyers were in it! You know what else? Last month I flew to Europe and back and I "smoked" in all the planes and airports. Now, I wasn't stupid about it, and took steps to avoid attracting attention - my e-cig is black and looks rather like a pen, and I'd covered the LED so the end wouldn't glow. I didn't blow huge clouds of vapor around. No one paid any attention. It was wonderful.
