Stop nicotine addiction with the electronic cigarette?

Hey, Alex here with my 3 biggest tips for anyone looking to stop nicotine addiction…

Stop Nicotine Addiction Tip #1: Learn from others who have quit nicotine successfully

That’s why you’re here, right? :-)

I tried all the nicotine replacement methods (and failed) and was always researching ‘the latest and greatest’ to find that solution that would finally help me quit smoking for good.

When I first found out about electronic cigarettes, I wanted to know how many smokers successfully quit using the electronic cigarette? I found out it’s too soon to say for sure, and no organized studies have been performed to date. But I joined some electronic cigarette forums and would see many testimonials of people who have kicked the habit for good using these things. Some of these success stories are from people who have smoked over a pack a day for decades.

Stop Nicotine Addiction Tip #2: Find what works for you

Are electronic cigarettes the solution to stop nicotine addiction? The companies who sell these devices are obviously not in a position to tell you that. Because the FDA has not approved electronic cigarettes, they are not being sold as smoking cessation devices, but rather as a healthier method of nicotine replacement for people who want smoke in public places.

E-cigarettes are an alternative nicotine delivery system. Common sense told me that they could be effectively used as part of an overall how to quit smoking program, similar to the way nicotine gum, patches and inhalers are. And it would give me that ‘action’ of holding a cigarette that I was used to.

And here is an interesting fact about electronic cigarette nicotine cartridges: They come in several different nicotine levels – high, medium, low, and zero nicotine. So a person could slowly wean themselves from their nicotine addiction by progressively lowering their intake levels, right? It’s important to note that even a cartridge with a “high” nicotine level still delivers considerably less nicotine per inhale than a traditional cigarette. At this point I was intrigued you could say…

Stop Nicotine Addiction Tip #3: Commit to quit

Here’s the bottom line: No device is going to be a “silver bullet” that can make a smoker quit overnight. Successfully quitting forever starts with a strong desire to quit nicotine. If a person truly wants to quit then the electronic cigarette may prove to be a very helpful tool in realizing that goal.

But let’s face it… many smokers DON’T want to quit! They just enjoy smoking too much. For this group, electronic smoking can be a much healthier alternative… hopefully one that will keep them alive a lot longer.

    You get all of the feeling of smoking, even the “smoke,” without any of the harmful side-effects and chemicals that are in regular tobacco smoke. But not only that, you can use the e-cigarette anywhere!! It emits only water vapor, not smoke, as you puff on it, so you can use it in all the otherwise prohibited zones: public places, relatives gatherings, even restaurants and stores.

    Am I able to cancel the order inside 30 days if I opt to not keep it?

  3. Alex says:

    Yes, they offer a 30-day guarantee. Though if it works as well for you as it did for me, it won’t even be an issue. :-) Best of luck!

    It is hard to quit nicotine at all but i tried so hard to stop smoking because of the fear of lung cancer.

    I introduced myself to cigs when I was 14 years old. It was the most terrible mistake I’ve made. Now I am 45 years old I have found giving them up is harder than you can imagine. I used all of the stopping aids to quit nicotine but not one did any good. Then I saw the electric cigarette — uses a nicotine liquid that contains just nicotine. No smelly smoke at all. They have literally changed my life. No more inhaling cancerous substances feels stupendous!
