Hi john,and welcome to the forum,where you will get lots of help and support:)

Iv tried many times to quit like you,but feel every time I fail I learn something from it..mainly not to have that " just one ":D

I tried stopping using the e cig and know it works for some but felt I was still smoking.

This quit I kept the e cig nod have used it 4-5 times in 5 wks...for me it's a stand by,when things get tough:(

Have you tried joining smoke stop at boots...where they will give you loads advice,patches on prescription and weekly checks...that has worked for lots of quitters.

It's finding what works for you...keep reading posting and even ranting....youv come to the right place:D
