My Alternative To Smoking

We all know that cigarettes are bad for us. I smoked for more than 35 years eventually smoking three packs a day. Way too much and very unhealthy.

For me just quitting cold turkey was not a good option as every time I've tried to do so it triggered my IBS big time. The best alternative for me has been vapor, aka electronic cigarettes. It satisfies my habit without smoke and keeps me off the sickarettes.

This is my newest setup, an eVic personal vaporizor with a Protank 2 clearomizer.

    The ramifications of inducing any form of cigarettes are too severe so good on you mate

    Good luck :)

    Cool contraption! My brother has gone to electronic "cigarettes", too. Maybe it's not ideal, but it's better than cigarettes! Cheaper, less carcinogens, no second-hand smoke.

    I went cold turkey. Several times. :laugh: Eventually, it stuck.

    Good for you! Hope you are able to completely quit soon!

    I was in the grocery store with the kids the other day and it was the first time I had ever seen one. She was using it right in the store and the kids were like, "mom she's smoking in the store!!!" It was definitely odd, but at least it was an electronic one!

    Thanks, folks.

    Yes it is basically an ecig, just with a larger battery, variable voltage/wattage, and I can use a out any flavor liquid I like.
