I tried but they made my lungs hurt more! I did chantex to quit.
Yes they really did the trick!! No cigarettes for 2 years.dr. Says not great but much better than cigarettes!!! Good Luck
I used the patch for the nicotine, licorice strips for the hand to mouth part, and eventually butterscotch candy for the occasional cravings (something in the butterscotch killed the craving almost immediately). My son tried the ecigs, he is back to smoking. A friend used them to quit, that was at least 4 years ago. She is still using ecigs.
I will here reveal my stupid for allthe worlfto see... Even after being diagnosed, much to my surprise, and treated for TB, which extensively damaged my lungs. I did not quit. I doggedly plunged back into my life as usual, building rustic furniture, read sawdust, paint fumes, hiking for material and smoking. A recent stay in the hospital wit th pneumonia and they finally diagnosed copd. I was really joneses for a cigarette, had my husband bring in some ecigsand it kept me from crawling out the door AMA.. SoNow Imhome, treating myself naturally, no meds, but still have strong desire to smoke. Ecigs seem the lesser of two evils, and my breathing is much better. Iknow it ta not ideal, but for me it was a great leap(excuse errors as can't seem to go back and correct, without erasing to the error)
You sound like me....diagnosed with copd but plunged back to normal smoking life, after about a year had a stay in the hospital with pneumonia, tried to quit using e cigs. That lasted about 3 weeks went back to smoking to e cig to smoking etc. I am not a fan of the e-cig ...for me, you cant break any part of the smoking habit with them and will always go back, or back and forth. I know some have success...but not many really. They made me cough more, and there are unknowns with the chemicals you breath in. I finally did quit, been 9 months now using the mini lozenges. Best thing I ever done in my life.
NJoy daily ecigs. Have used them for 5 months now. Helps with the hand to mouth thing.. holding something that feels like a cigarette in your hand. I've tried everything else including Chantix which caused severe depression. I can't get them anywhere except online or at Walgreens but they woked for me
I stopped smoking 2 yrs ago. I tried everything the only thing that worked was ecigs. I don’t even crave cigs. anymore.My drs. seem ok with it!
Ahhh! As I guiltily put out a cigarette, I was doing so well I started smoking again, and feeling very stupid about it too. Going back to ecigs today, as I really was breathing easier. How dumb!
