After smoking for about 37 years I QUIT!! I think this is the hardest thing I will have ever tried, but try I will. Going to use e-cig to start with although right now the silly thing won't charge properly. Ugh!!

Morning Bunny welcome to the site which I am sure you will find very inspirational just like me. I find that I use an e cig plus nrt. I have two e cigs so that I always have one charged. The initial charge does take a while, perhaps it hasn't had long enough. Is it charging or not keep the charge very long suecx

Still having problems but luckily the shop near work sells single so I just pop to get one. Must try not to get too ratty as I am also having teatment to cause the menopause. Happy days. Feel pretty please with myself at present. 2 girlfriends who were going to quit today also, didn't bother which makes me feel righteous ha ha .

Hey bunnyrabbit, love your Easter name :D

Welcome aboard, you have made the right decision to stop smoking. Nobody says that its easy but everyone says that ts worth it :-)

There are many of our members who have quit smoking by using the e-cigarette, so as well as Simba's advice, I'm sure that others will be able to help you out with any queries etc. . With regards to charging them, a little health and safety tip is not to leave them charging whilst unattended.

Have a good nosire around and if there is anything that we can help you out with, just give us a shout :D

I'll pop your name up on our 'Wall of Winners' the place where every quitter is a winner :D

Remember that you can do this :-)

I quite like the hot flushes as it's so darn cold but guess that will all change if the weather improves!!

A big well done to you Bunny! I hope that you get your e-cig sorted out soon! I used lozengers when I stopped, but the method which you use doesn't matter, as long as it helps you to stay off the dreaded white poisonous sticks!

I too am going through the change, have been for a number of years! Can't have HRT etc but like you Bunny I quite welcome my own 'personal summers' in the cold weather :)

Hi Chickles what a wonderful express 'personal summers'. As I am having to have my change chemically induced the flushes can be quite violent if not stormy.
