I am new here but want to talk about my life as a smoker.
I want to talk about myself and my habit firstly. I started smoking because of a girl called Mary, this was back when I was in school and wanted to impress the heck out of her. It started as a one a day thing, then as I got to know her better and started to hang out with her more I started smoking more and more to spend more time with her. The good news is that I got me a really good looking, sweet girl as my first girlfriend. The bad news is I got a 15 a day habit, we spent 3 years together and then we broke up in the worst possible way, this increased my habit to 20 a day and I never really recovered from it. Almost 10 years on I am still smoking and I recently started to work out and am constantly coughing. I really feel horrible every day. Talking to new girls in a world that is slowly not smoking is killing my chances. It just isn't cool anymore, standing outside in the cold when I go out to a bar makes me feel and look dirty. So on that note a friend has recommended e-cigs I am going to document my progress honestly so we can get a better idea if E cigs can help you quit smoking. I should receive my starter kit tomorrow and will update then.

But keep reading and posting this forum will help you loads of support on here everyone is great. Good luck in your quit. Jacqui. Quit date: 10.2.12.
Call me an old cynic who's spent 54 months on the forum but where a poster's first 2 posts are regarding ECigs and both mention a particular make then I smell something fishy, and I'm not talking about the contents of Baldrick's apple crumble.
Well I was trying with an e-cig before I first joined this forum as a work colleague was having success with them. I wasn't trying to sell anything though, and I don't even remember the brand name!! They work for some people so don't knock them, but not for me cos I think I gave myself nicotine poisoning. One thing I do remember though is that my stop smoking motivation was higher than it is now, so they were'nt bad if used correctly.
