Hi my name is Alice ,ive been trying to use the ecig for some time now ,because I find it to to much of a fight to give up nicotine from cigarettes ,so I am still smoking ,the problem I'm having with ecig is when I inhail it really hurts my chest ,I dont mean a cough ,I mean a hurt ,after trying different types, strength ect ,I have come to the conclusion it is the heat ,I have copd so I am desperate, I think my chest must be always slightly inflamed even without infection ,I am wondering if anyone has got over this problem with ecig ,any advice would be most welcome

Hi Alice. lovely to meet you. I am an administrator for the sister community to this one, which is Quit Support. I personally didnt use the e.cig , I used an inhalator which involves a cartridge which you can reduce over a time. No heat is involved. (any well known chemist supplies these).

If you click on communities and put Quit Support you will be able to access lots of information on there, plus you will get more response from other members.

Quit support is a brilliant site and we get lots of good results. Its almost 8 years since I quit, and the community really helped. Hope to see you and support you on the other site. :) xxx

If you highlight all of your post , so it turns blue then right click and go into copy.

then when you are on the correct place just go into the post right click and go into paste. You should get what you have written.

I could copy all this but you wouldnt be able to access until you joined Quit Support. Message me if your stuck. :) xx
