Im using them and have never managed to stop smoking with any other method. Had no side effects at all ...slightly sore tongue when i first stopped but dentist informed thats normal when stopping smoking. Im really impressed with the fact that theyve worked for me and I know there is controversy surrounding there safety..but think on balance if theyve got me off cigs..thats gotta be a gud thing and they arent as harmful as smoking....

Hi brooke12 I've been waiting for you to get an answer as my Sister-in-law has been using them for a whole week now and thinks they're great! Have you had side effects? hpx

Yes recently changed brands. Feeling light headed. Looked on internet, it could be too much nicotine in my system.

I used them, but gave myself a time limit so not to use them for recreation

purposes. Easy peasy to give up.

Good luck, I know there is a lot of scare mongering going on, but a month

on ecigs can hardly be long enough to cause ill health should there be any

toxins. And of course, as you mentioned, better a short spell on them rather

than cigs.

You can lower the nicotine content gradually im on 0% now...I found the higher ones too strong...good luck xx

Hiya Brooke.

I switched to E-ciggies two years ago. I have had no problems or side effects. I have saved a shed load of money though.

I have been using e.cigs for about 2 months. They are great and I don't even want a real cig any more. I tried Champix(which made me feel very sick) plus patches, gum etc, all of which did not work long term. I have had no side effects and feel a lot better than when I was smoking.

Good luck
