When I first used my ecig I was concerned about how much nicotine I was getting so, on day 2, I stopped using nicotine and went on to the zero juice.
Having read that nicotine is out of the system in three days, I figured I'd suffer for three days and then feel fine....

Wrong.......

I felt absolutely awful for 2 - 3 months before I began to feel as good as I do now.
I probably would have been much better to have gradually reduced the nicotine over a period of time.

I have to add that I was and am determined to quit smoking which is why I reduced to zero nic juice, and by the time I realised that this was a mistake, well, I figured I may as well soldier on.

However, I'd never have got this far without the ecig as, even without any nicotine, it has made it possible for me to stay off the tobacco, when previously all else had failed....

Congrats. to Hanow on your 48 hours of success.
And a big welcome in advance to your friend....

Thank you Chrissie,
I should add that I'm still very unfit now, but at least the coughing, wheezing and breathlessness has disappeared......

And I am, now, at least using the gym and the equipment, albeit for short bursts at a time....

Am off there right now - to make the most of the man-free afternoon (assuming that the men will be watching the footie and not in the gym this afternoon).....

Couldn't agree more.
Hanow, good luck and do please think of this - count the cigarettes you don't smoke rather than the ones (if any) you do.....

I think that's probably the best piece of advice I have seen anywhere.
(And it came from this forum)

I don't count myself as a non-smoker yet, because I know how addicted I was; but it's 20 weeks tomorrow since I smoked, and I'd never have got to this without the ecig.

I've not had one puff either Ragjoy.
Started with the ecig on 2nd. February this year.
Last puff of a real cigarette on the same morning (before the ecig arrived).

Oh, and that nasty taste at the back of my mouth has gone now too.

Welcome to the forum Kath,
Good luck with it and do let us know how you get on...
Believe me, it's a darn sight better than being addicted to cigarettes.

Whiter teeth, pink tongue, renewed sense of taste and smell, and lots more benefits besides.

And no more planning everything around being able to have a smoke......

I really like this forum as it is - stuff is so easy to find and everyone is so friendly....

Although I do look at the ecf from time to time, I find it a bit off-putting as it is so huge.
