Maybe E cigs or the patch can work for others who knows. I know chantix is supposed to be the worst. They give you nightmares. Point is; one person shouldn’t insult or belittle another for their struggles and lack of “strength” to quite !

Im 21 years old now and will most likely live much longer… all thanks to e-cigs :) If u ban e-cigs might want to ban smoke machines ;) and asthma inhalers ;) … its the same thing. Learn more about e-cigs if your a smoker and watch smells taste and even breathing come back into your life. Never looking back at cigarettes.

I am so sick of people whining they “can’t do it”. That’s ****. You can DO anything you put your mind to. Period end of story. That doesn’t make me a bully, its the cold hard truth.

Sorry but calling people who can’t quit cold turkey babies is just another form of being a bully! Are u like that about everything u can do better than someone else? Good for u to all who have chosen a more healthier way of smoking. And thank u from a non smoker who doesnt have to breath in your second hand smoke. Wish more people would change to them.

Patches have a reported %5.2(blind)-%8.6(open) published success rate.

E-cigs have shown anywhere from a %31 to a whopping %86 success rate (American Journal of Preventative Medicine, Wiley, other various surveys/studies)

Isn’t that a good thing? Shouldn’t it be researched more?

There are many resources for people who cannot quit smoking. The best place to start is the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association. Read antiTHRlies.com, and excellent blog by Dr. Carl http://rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-call-to-action_29.html

In fact, you could run into the same short-term health problems smoking e-cigs as you would with regular cigarettes.”???
Here’s a quote for ya:
“The electronic cigarette is up to 1,400 times safer than the leading brand of cigarettes” -Prof. Michael Siegel, MD, Boston University
I quit using e-cigarettes, what better example can you come up with?

Actually a survey has just been done in which 200+teenage boys were asked if they had ever tried ecigs. Of that number 2 had and they were already smokers. Kids aren’t interested in ecigs–it’s much easier to light a cigarette if they want to try smoking. This “think about the children” approach is really starting to wear thin–how about we think about the children who will watch their parents die from smoking because some doctor who doesn’t have all the facts tells them to not try an electronic cigarette even after all other methods have failed.

I have great respect for anyone who quits, but you are obviously one of those obnoxious reformed smokers. Kicking the addiction is very difficult for many of us, and no one is the same. All that I can do is keep trying, and maybe one day I can be as great as you!

I don’t WANT to quit using nicotine and really why should I have to? Many studies have been done that show nicotine can help with memory and cognitive reasoning. I have saved enough money by using ecigs to go to both Florida and Virgina last year.
The real reason the FDA and the anti-smoking organizations don’t “approve” of them is that they get no money from them.
The FDA get 1/2 is funding from the pharmaceutical products that they approve (most of which are being recalled at an alarming rate)and the anti-tobacco people benefit from grants from the same companies.
Since when did tobacco free become nicotine free–would you rather that myself and thousands of others went back to smoking?

While I am glad the cold turkey approach works for many, others cannot manage that. It’s a little insensitive to assume that everything that is easy for you is also easy for others; your experience is unique to you.

Am I still using one with nicotine–yes but really what’s the big deal? I smoked for over 30 years and have chosen something that will do me and those around me less harm. As far as the so called approved methods, they don’t work for most.
Tobacco free and nicotine free are two different things, something I wish people would really start to understand. Should some one who has never smoked use them-probably not, but for those who have failed time and time again it’s just on more tool to help them.
As to the Dr.’s comments about air restriction-many things affect air movement in your lungs–humdity, cold weather, perfume. The study I believe he is talking about was co-authored by a woman who received grant money from Pzfier, if I am remembering correctly–no conflict of interest there I’m sure!

Its a cop out to try Supplements, pills, etc they are just crutches, if you don’t have the willpower to quit none of that stuff will help you. I smoked over 15yrs when I quit. Woke up one day and decided I was done, threw away the pack. I still have cravings for them to this day 18 years later. But its mind over matter, I refuse to be controlled by a cigarette. Besides for what it costs to smoke a pack a day now, you can afford a VERY nice brand new car payment! Good incentive to quit if the health benefits aren’t enough for ya.

Not everyone can quit cold turkey or with the so called “approved” methods.
Ecigs are not a stop smoking product but a less harmful alternative.
