The electronic cigarette
76. Since I've started vaping I feel great ... I can breathe again ... I can walk from point A to point B w/o hoping there's going to be a paramedic there with oxygen !
77. I've found the e-cigarette incredibly good. For the first time in my adult life, I simply do not think about tobacco.
78. I quit tobacco after 2 days using e-cigarette
79. I really enjoy my nicotine delivery system it has really helped me so much I feel so much better at just about everything I have lots of energy and I do not cough at all and I just feel great please keep this product this is my only chance to living a good life!
80. I originally decided to purchase an e-cig to use in places where smoking was banned indoors. When I read that it was probably significantly less harmful than real cigarettes I thought I'd try to use it to replace some of my normal smoking habit. But I didn't have high hopes. I suspected it would be "just good enough" to get by in non-smoking situations (ie airports) at best.
Boy was I wrong. In the first 4-5 days of using it I smoked about 25% of what I normally would (that is, I smoked about 4 real cigarettes on those days). It didn't take a conscious effort, it just kind of happened. After that I thought I'd try for a non-smoking day. It was really easy (partly from being in a non-smoking house with awful weather outside). And so was the next day. Around the third day I wasn't even thinking about smoking or not smoking.
When I got around to trying an old-fashioned cigarette just to see what I was missing, it tasted bad and was unsatisfying. Previously when I'd managed to quit for short periods of time (a few to several weeks) I'd never gotten to the point that cigarettes were yucky. It was always a struggle, they were always tempting, etc.
81. Although I love the product I see a lot of room for improvement. Better atomizers, longer lasting batteries, I hope the product continues to see improvement. It has given me the ability to no longer crave a real cigarette. It satisfies that craving in a way that other products have not been able to.
82. The e-cigarette is the first thing I've tried that gives me hope in quitting. I started out with the lowest nicotine level and my hopes had been to get down to 0. The vaper and holding of the device has made all the difference. I am nearly at 6 weeks without a regular cigarette.
83. I have tried numerous times to quit smoking. I have smoked about a pack per day for 29 years. Though the electronic cigarette is not a smoking cessation device, I have cut my consumption of cigarettes to about 3 per day, comfortably. While it's true that I am currently addicted to nicotine, no other nicotine replacement therapy has worked for me. I feel better, I breathe better, I smell better. The vapor produced by my e-cigarette device does not output an offensive smell. I feel better knowing that I am not imposing on people around me. For me the electronic cigarette has truly been a miracle.
I have a lot to say about my experience thus far with "e-smoking" as well as my concerns for its future due to regulations. I am happy to share my thoughts. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance.
84. I didn't intend to totally quit smoking when I started using an e-cig, but I did cut way back immediately without any real effort on my part. Then one day I ran out of cigarettes and just never got around to buying another pack! Amazing and awesome.... :)
85. I smoked 2+ packs a day for 15 years and was finally able to quit (with ease) using this device. To me, there is no doubt that these are a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes. I know many others personally who have struggled for many years to quit as well and have managed to with electronic cigarettes. For many, quitting is not even the intention, but the e-cigarette works as a perfect alternative.
These are great for those who prefer to use nicotine, but do not want to smoke cigarettes. I use it as an alternative, and were it to be taken away I would go back to smoking cigarettes. Harm reduction is key to prevent the many smoking related deaths and illnesses across the globe. I hope these are here to stay!
86. Before using e-cig... I felt my days were numbered.... I couldn't quit with the present options available. I had a vision of this solution 5 years ago... Unfortunately... I found out about it in mid March just before Health Canada shut it down... Hey I have resorted to extraordinary action.... I now have my stash which should last me a few years now..... I was prepared to take a trip to China to stock up... but that has been averted... I am comfortible with the amount I have at the moment to get me through this BS.
I would suggest that Health Canada and FDA both put their money where their mouths are.... They say they want us to quit... but do everything in their power to squash that option... Quit or Die is their only option... imo....
But e-cig give smokers another option... which from what I have read... is not an acceptabel option... What are they really trying to protect... I ask????? Big Pharma???? Taxation dollars?????? or the tobacco industry in general..which got us into this addition in the first place??????
Please ban Tomatoes, eggplant..and a number of other veggies.. which contain Nicotine... along with cigarettes..the biggest culprit in this action.
87. I believe electronic cigarettes could easily replace tobacco cigarettes for me.
88. The reason I have not completely went to the e cig is because I didn't order enough supplies to continue to smoke it, and so suppliemented it with real cigs until I get enough to just smoke the e cig I hope. I also ordered the low when in fact I think after reading other peoples results, I should have ordered medium. Right now I think this will help me to stop. Course I have thought that with every other thing I have tried.
89. E cigs are a wonderful thing. I'm only smoking 3-4 cigarettes per day, and that's mainly because I already have them. It's not a have-to.
90. I love the product. It would be shame for it to be made illegal just because big tobacco and the government aren't getting there cut
91. I am amazed, I never began using an electronic cigarette with the intention of quitting, but I stopped smoking completely after the first day that I used my electronic cigarette! I have NO desire to ever smoke again! This has done what nicotine patches and lozenges and oral medications could not accomplish, effortlessly!
92. I have only been using the electronic cigarette for 4 days, it was not my intention to quit smoking by using this device but to extend the time between cigarettes, complete smoking cessation has been a pleasant side-effect. By the end of my first day as a vaporer I could no longer stand the taste of a regular full flavor cigarette. This morning I had no trace of a smokers cough (something I've had for the last 15 years) and I feel fantastic..
93. The electric cigarette has been the first time I've been able to stop smoking without having anxiety attacks or other medical issues. Both the patch and gum method made me sick, and had problems with depression when I tried the drug methods. I have reduced from 18mg to start, to around 5.5mg now, and I feel wonderful..
94. I stopped smoking straight away with the e-cig. It still took a little bit of will power for the first few days but because you still have the act of smoking I didn't think about needing a cigarette as much as when using pathces, gum etc and for me this is why I found it so effective.
95. I absolutely love Electronic Cigarettes (Personal Vaporizers) and have not had the desire to smoke a regular tobacco cigarette or utilize any tobacco product for exactly 7 months. I am thrilled and have attempted to quit smoking for over the past 10 years and have been unsuccessful. By utilizing the electronic cigarette, I have reduced the amount of daily nicotine intake and feel fantastic. This is truly the best invention of the century! Thanks all and I pray that the FDA in the United States will not ban the importation of these producst while testing the validity of results of a smoking cessation device.
96. I did not intent to quit smoking when starting to use the electronic cigarette.
97. My general health has improved. My doctor is also thrilled about my decision to use electronic cigarettes.
98. Electronic cigarettes are absolutely brilliant. I am now smoking about FIVE ordinary cigarettes (roll-ups) a day, whereas before I smoked about 25-30 a day. I certainly feel a whole lot better, and feel that a lot of the tar and rubbish in my lungs is now coming out (not very pleasant, but it's a small price to pay). The electronic cigarettes are superb; they give a good nicotine "hit" - just wish they would create a bit more "smoke" to almost mimic the exact tobacco smoking habit.
99. I have tried hypnotism, patch, gum, wellbutrin, chantix, nicotine inhaler . . . NONE of it worked. Picked up the e-cig, and within 3 days, I was completely off of tobacco. It's not like a miracle--it IS a miracle. I smoked 2+ packs a day for 30 years, and now I have zero interest in tobacco.
100. I think the e-cigarette is an outstanding substitute/replacement for standard cigarettes. The e-cigarette mimics more aspects of cigarettes than pills, patches, mints, or gum could ever hope to.
