In reply to the discussion: Study finds E-cigarettes don’t help smokers quit [View all]RobinA
(10,478 posts)It's true, an e-cig won't wrestle you to the ground and demand that you quit smocking if you don't want to quit smoking. However, it does give people a chance to ingest nicotine without the smoking danger, and it allows a person to gradually cut back the amount of nicotine to 0 if one wants to. It also allows one to do the little ritual of reaching for a cigarette.
Personally, I smoke less than a half a pack a day and can go about 24 hours without craving. However, I enjoy smoking and don't really want to stop. Consequently, I can't stop. I am planning on buying an e-cig, as soon as I figure out what kind, and give it a try. It will be healthier than smoking and might help with my sinus headaches. If I like it, I may step down the nicotine while still enjoying the act. Maybe not, I don't know how I am nicotine-free. Potentially, I can go 0 nicotine and enjoy vaping some flavorful oils on the way home from work. But my immediate goal is to give up cigarettes. The tobacco and paper kind you light. After that we will see.
