Quitting smoking and electronic cigarettes

Sunday, 30 March 2014

So, we're three months into the year and Christmas seems like a distant memory, as does New Year. So how are you doing on your resolutions? I must confess I'm failing on most of mine - apart from giving up Diet Coke, which I have done for Lent, but I've replaced it with full fat Fanta so the point is kind of lost.

Apart from losing weight though, one of the most popular resolutions is to give up smoking. I've never smoked. I would love to tell you that it's because I'm so strong-willed that I've never been tempted, that I stood strong in the face of peer pressure. But honestly, it's just luck. I've just never had a lot of friends that smoke, so in those impressionable teenage years, I never tried it. And of course, now I just have no interest in it at all, but I have so many friends who started smoking as teenagers and haven't been able to kick the habit.

Vype electronic cigarettes got in touch with us recently to ask about our experiences with e-cigs. While some of my friends have been able to quit smoking by sheer willpower alone (actually, more than one have quit when they got pregnant, and never started again) but I've also had a lot of friends rave about electronic cigarettes. Often it's the action of smoking that they miss, as well as the nicotine, and electronic cigarettes combine both of these things.

Obviously it's not a good idea to smoke an electronic cigarette if you've never smoked - they still contain nicotine, which is addictive. But if you're trying to kick the habit, as a healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes, they're a great bet. I'd love to know if you've ever successfully quit smoking with the help of electronic cigarettes - let me know in the comments!

  1. I do agree with you. Vapes are a step closer towards quitting. Studies have actually shown that vapes reduce one’s addiction towards nicotine and with continued use, can reduce one’s addiction to regular cigarettes over time. Thanks for the share! :D

  2. Perhaps you can say the best part of being involved with an electronic cigarette is the level of support and advice people get from the followers or fellow members of electronic cigarette.electronic cigarettes

  3. If you want to buy electronic cigarette, then what will get you started is an e-cigarette starter kit. An e-cigarette kit consists of three very important parts that are essential for the use of e-cigarette. And these parts are the mouth piece which houses the cartridge, the atomizer which converts the nicotine solution into vapor and the battery which is used to charge the atomizer. Thanks for your article!!
