The Electronic Cigarette Survey: User Comments
Disclaimer: E Cigarette Direct recognizes that there is no long term scientific evidence that e-cigarettes can help cessation. Any statements referring to giving up here should not be constituted as a claim by E Cigarette Direct, and in any case are likely to refer to the substitution of one form of nicotine for another rather than the cessation of use of Nicotine. Nicotine cessation attempts need to be measured over 12 months for a true idea of effectiveness. Any health claims are likely to be anecdotal, and should be used to support and suggest further research rather than as definitive evidence that the electronic cigarette can improve health.

1. My husband and I have gone from heavy smokers to very light smokers in just 5 weeks.We were not intending to give up just save money. We hope to give uo completeley in the future. Brillant product!!!!!!
2. Had been smoking for 50 years but since using the electronic cigarette have not even wanted one
3. I started smoking when I was about 11 years old. I am now 75 years of age, still working full time, and look, according to most observers, at least 10-15 years younger than my actual age
4. fantastic invention
5. One thing I can say is : that my kids were always getting on me about smoking every time I would light up they would start coughing,covering their faces and constantly trying to find ways to get me to stop.
But since I've started smoking the E cigarette they love it cause there's no smell or lingering smoke which makes my kids and friends who don't smoke happy cause they know I'm not harming myself and them with second hand smoke . now I can puff away not feeling the gult I use to feel
Please , please , no matter what congress wants to do, keep selling this product because its helping people like me who use to smoke 2 and a half packs a day to smoking a few puffs of the E cigarette
Thank you so much you guys are making a difference in the health of america

6. i dislikethe taste if I inadvertantly tip the end
7. I am sleeping better. I am less lethargic. I used to get migraine headaches and I no longer do.
8. Have tried to perservere with the eCigarette, but it is much harder to "draw in" than conventional cigarettes, and have given it up.
9. I am steadily dropping my nicotine amount and will hopefully be completely nicotine free (both from e cigarettes AND regular cigarettes) by the end of the year.
10. I have smoked a pack a day for 40 years. I had no intention of quitting smoking when I bought the first electronic cigarette. I soon found myself preferring the e cigarette over tobacco cigarettes and since January, 2009, I have gone from 20 tobacco cigarettes to 2-4 tobacco cigarettes. I did this with absolutely no effort on my part, just a simple preference for the e cigarette over my Marlboro Smooths.
11. I was a 3 pack-per-day smoker for nearly 40 years. E-cigs have allowed me to quit smoking for the first time in my life. I feel better than I have in years! My doctor says my lungs are clearer than he has ever heard them. I thank God daily for these devices!
12. I am a pipe smoker. I bought the e-cigar primarily to protect others from second hand smoke but find it is actually a great substitute/replacement for smoking tobacco & is obviously (to me) a much healthier alternative.
13. I have completely stopped using my albuterol and advair inhalers since I have been on the electronic cigarette. I have no more asthma symptoms and the asthma actually seems to have actually completely disappeared.
14. I smoked a pack a day for over 20 years and started e-smoking 3 weeks ago. I noticed a huge improvement in my breathing and lung capacity within days of switching to the e-cigarette. I feel better, my house, clothes, and hair no longer smell, and I was able to quit cigarettes almost immediately. I have tried patches, gum, herbs, acupuncture, hypnosis, and cold turkey, and none of them worked. With all other smoking cessation/nicotine replacement products, the quitting process was agonizing and the side effects were terrible. Switching to e-cigarettes was simple and after noticeable improvements in my health with a few days, it was a no-brainer.
15. Since using the e-cigarette and stopping the smoking of traditional tobacco cigarettes, my quality of life has greatly improved.
16. Gave up the cigarettes (40 per day x 48 years) accidentally after a few hours of using the electronic cigarette - real cigarettes tasted foul and they have stayed unlit ever since. Not one single craving. Quite amazing.
17. An additional perk is the cost is a lot less
18. We all know formal testing of e-cigs has not been done. However, the idea that the FDA should ban these devices pending studies is asinine. It doesn't take an FDA bean-counter in the pockets of Big-Pharma and Big-Tobacco to determine that e-cigs ARE, in fact, a healthier delivery system for nicotine than regular cigarettes, and the anecdotal evidence that MANY people are becoming ex-smokers as a result of using e-cigs is mounting quickly day-by-day. I have switched from cigarettes to e-cigs completely, and without discomfort or inconvenience. E-cigs are the best thing to come along for smokers since the invention of the Zippo lighter, and they simply MUST be kept available, studied, and eventually promoted as the new nicotine enjoyment paradigm!.
19. I have been using an electronic cigarette for 5 weeks now and have no desire to smoke 'real' cigarettes again. This was not what I planned, it just happened. I feel no need whatsoever to 'light up'
20. I was a daily smoker for 25+ years. I have been using my ecig since mid-December 2008. By January I was back in the gym and execising with ease, my sense of smell returned, and I felt like a new person. Since then, my treadmill time improves by the week and I am thinking about participating in my first marathon - EVER!! This would not be possible - if I hadn't taken a chance on this new technology. The product I purchased was of good quality and with basic care - has lasted into my 6th month and saved me (estimating) $500, easily - so far - since I no longer purchase cigarettes.
The day I began using my electronic cigarette (Super Mini), I stopped using the regular Tar cigarettes and have not looked back (which is what is scaring the hell out of the Tobacco industry and why they are theartening to take them away from smokers). I personally have stocked up on ecigs while this shakes out. Sad that money is more important than people's lives and well being. Shame on those in Congress taking money from the Tobacco companies - Shame, shame!! With this product on the market - they too would soon be going the way of the BIG THREE AUTO. Perhaps they (Congress) is fearful that we are going to have to bail them out too.
21. E-cigs are the only thing to get me off cigs. This is the longest I have been smoke free since 7th grade.
I am turning 41 this year.
22. Smoked for 29 years.
I now use my electronic cigarette exclusively without a desire for a regular cigarette.
When people light up around me now I find the smell of a regular cigarette undesirable. With smoke cessation products I still wanted cigarettes.
23. Smoker's cough is totally gone!
24. The e-cig has improved my ability to protect my daughter against the harmful affects of smoking, it has enabled me to remove the smoke from her enviroment.
25. Surprisingly, the e-cigarette has enabled me to give up tobacco products quite effortlessly. Up until two months ago I smoked an average of two packs of cigarettes a day (for 50 years). As a result of my success, I have become an evangelist for the e-cigarette trade-off.
