Thank you Chrissie,
I don't really understand what's going on with this - I'd have thought that as a reasonably heavy smoker for 40-odd years, I'd be well and truly addicted to nicotine.
But it would seem not to be so....
On Tuesday, I started using the ecig with a low cartridge because it was afternoon and I'd already had a few roll-ups so was scared of o.d'ing the nicotine (I'm married to a chemist, who has made me aware of the dangers of all drugs - he won't even take a paracetamol).
That evening I changed to a zero cartridge for the remainder of the day.
Next morning, Wednesday, I started with a low cartridge, which I changed to a zero cartridge at lunchtime, and I've stayed on the zero ever since then.
So I'm quite puzzled really as to how easy it's been (so far) to give up the nicotine.
I keep expecting to backslide and go back to the roll-ups...

Hello junctionalfunkie,
I, too, am on my third day now....
Haven't smoked since Tuesday lunchtime.
And, I'm now using zero nicotine cartridges.
Haven't used any nicotine at all since Wednesday afternoon.
I feel fine - I'm going to start a diary listing my progress and any physical effects I notice.
I've already noticed that I can walk much farther without pain or breathlessness.
Hubby says I've stopped snoring, too......

Another quick update.
I've now gone more than 48 hours without a cigarette.
The longest I have ever managed......
I can't say it's been easy, but it's certainly been a great deal easier than ever before.....
And it obviously hasn't been that hard, because I've not had so much as a puff of a tobacco cigarette.
Even though I've left my tin of baccy in full view, ready to pounce on when the expected cravings begin.
I expected my worst times to be first thing in the morning, and at night when watching t.v.
The mornings have been eased considerably with use of the ecig, and the nights too, with a tiny bit of help from Thorntons Special Toffee........
I hope I'm not sounding smug or complacent, as I'm neither.
Just so grateful for something that has enabled me to go over 48 hours without a cigarette - for the first time in over 40 years.

A huge thank you to everyone for this forum, without which I'd never have tried the ecig.
And here's hoping that I can keep it up.

Thank you Chrissie.
My kit has arrived this morning and the battery is on charge.
It should be ready to use around 8.30 tonight....
Just as well, as I'll be on my own tonight so won't feel a fool while trying it out for the first time....
I will own up to changing from a Titanium to the cadmium red though - one feels that the colour is more in keeping with one being a lady.......

Oh yes, trouble indeed.
I most certainly am a lady, as I've spent many years reminding my husband....
Or should I say "one's husband"?

(Wonders if I'll ever get to 566 days without tobacco..........)
