Quittin' Smoking

[southeast-isher]

For anyone who had quit smoking with an e-cigarette but find the ecig is lacking something then this is likely because people usually load it with just pure nicotine which is fine and works for lots of people. But some people desire more alkaloids in the tobacco plant than just the nicotine isolated on its own. This by the way is why i use snus to get all tobacco alkaloids. But if you are an ecig user the solution would be to use a WTA liquid which is a whole tobacco alkaloid liquid. Google should be able to tell you more about it! People liken it to be being much much closer to actual smoking.

Hi,

Just came across this thread. I'm far too lazy to check if someone has already mentioned this somewhere in the previous 10 pages but I managed to quit cold turkey using the method at whyquit.com. The main method is provided free as an ebook download, and there is some very good information there. I haven't smoked for over 4 years since quitting, and after about a month or so stopped wanting to altogether with no cravings or anything. I literally stopped all desire to smoke. The first 72 hours (while nicotine is still in your system) is tough but doable. For example they teach you that the cravings only last up to around 1.5 minutes so if you manage to get past one for that long then it goes again. I seriously recommend it to everyone I can. There are also some inspiring and shocking stories. The most poignant one for me that kept me going was Bryan's story. The guy was a similar age to me, had kids just like me and then suddenly ended up with stage 4 cancer and died soon after. The picture of him on the day he dies, basically looking like a corpse, was enough motivation for me when I found it hard to resist. The look on the faces of his wife and child did, and still do, shock me every time I see that picture. I bookmarked the page at work and looked at it every time I felt I might give in and light up. After I quit I emailed his wife to let her know that his story had helped me quit for good.

The main bit to read is the NTAP (Never Take Another Puff) book. After that, whatever articles appeal to you. I decided that in order to quit I had to really understand how nicotine addiction worked (I'm terrible for over-analysing and researching things but in this case it paid off).
