9. E-cigarettes are the best thing that's happened to me in years

Cold turkey doesn't work for everyone. I started with e-cigarettes in the beginning of February. By two weeks in I stopped wanting a regular cigarette at all and haven't had one since. This is after well over 40 years of smoking. My blood pressure is down dramatically. I stopped coughing. I can breath better. I don't plan on stopping e-cigarettes necessarily, although I do plan on getting the nicotine down to zero. I started with Logic, but am now using an Echo battery. Ego is the most popular, I think. Nothing wrong with that either, but I got a very good deal on an Echo kit.

The forums at Ecigavanced.com are small, friendly, and full of helpful people and reviews. If he doesn't want to just quit, e-cigarettes are a great way to do it and they don't leave you with a constant craving for a cigarette. Some people who quit don't have that, but many do.
