Omg I've heard horror stories about these! I think they are really dangerous... (unlike traditional smoking lol) Check out this story about this man that it exploded in his mouth.

They work for about 3 weeks. Don't go out drinking.

If you get a decent one with flavors you enjoy, yes. I've known of lots of people who've done it. I'm more a social smoker these days, anyway, and sometimes I'll be good with just the e-cig. Since I almost never smoke anyway, for me the occasional one or two isn't a big deal... But I know that not everyone is like me. And I used to smoke... Off and on for... good Lord... 26 years. Wow. Mostly off these days, though. Check out the e-cig forum. There's a lot of information to be had and that is an amazing resource. Much success to you. Believe in yourself!

My mom was using one after my grandmother got a stint in her heart and couldn't be around smoke anymore.
It didn't help her quit, but it was better than potentially hurting my grandmother.

I know of one person that has stopped using an e-cig but most people I know has only been using them to cut down, as when the if you reduce the amount of nicotine in an e-cig to nil you will still have to get over the habit of smoking (the cig in your hands at certain times.) Good luck, I know how difficult it is but I am sure you will do it!

I used the e-cig to quit smoking. I am almost 9 months cig free. I tried quitting in the past with the patches, gum, meds and everything in between with no success. My husband bought me one of the e-cigs. It takes a day or so to get used to it. It is a great tool to use to quit. I now "vape" with the e-cig you can fill with different flavors imaginable but without any nicotine. Best wishes on your journey!!

You're right. A lot of them are really dangerous. My boyfriend did some research and we chose two e-cigs from the following site because they have built-in shut off features as well as other features (amperage limits, etc) that make them a lot safer. Also they're a lot easier to use, last longer, and are durable as hell. I've dropped mine on the concrete multiple times and it's still kicking. One of them comes with a lifetime warranty, the other comes with a 1 year warranty. I have the 1 year Provari model and it's still going strong.

It's a little expensive at first, but I stopped smoking entirely in the past and plan on doing it again in the next week or two. Had to order new batteries.... once they get old, they don't hold a charge very well. The good thing is, they lasted a year. Hope it helps. Good luck

I have used one for 3 years, I have changed companies over the years, but have never gone back to regular cigarettes. With in a few weeks of using mine, I felt better, breathed better and could taste again. Love mine!!

while it may not be as good as quitting, you still have the side effects of Nicotine, I am very satisfied with my e-cig. If you are interested, I use Volcano E-cig.

Thanks,

They are dangerous, can cause very poor health from side effects. Not that smoking is a healthy choice either, but it's not the right method.

Honestly, like any method.. it really depends on much you want it. I do think it works wonders for the mental habit.

I tried them and thought they tasted bad, I successfully quit by just doing it cold turkey. If people close to you are smoking its twice as hard, but it can b done. Good luck

I bought the Smoke Everywhere electronic cigarette, and used it for maybe two weeks. One day I forgot to charge it, so you know what I did? Went out and bought a pack! I found it to be a waste of $100. I think they do have over the counter ones you can buy at gas stations and CVS/Walgreens... I haven't tried those yet, but they are definitely a cheaper alternative. Never hurts to try!

I quit with lozenges (little tic-tac sized mints full of nicotine.) Some people say that the gum and lozenges will just make you addicted to those, instead, but I was willing to risk that. Anything has to be better than inhaling smoke!

As it turned out, they worked great for dealing with cravings, and then I gradually used them less and less. I don't remember making any particular effort to stop using them.

Get a real one. Volcano, greensmoke, something that costs a bit. Only the cheap ones have safety issues.

I don't smoke "real" cigarettes at all now. I still really like nicotine at times, and so I have the ecig. My wife says it is much easier to live with me than when I went cold turkey (which failed after 3 months, anyway).

If you have not REALLY decided not to smoke anymore though, no solution will work. Chantix/patch/ecig/whatever. None of these will work for you until you really decide you are done with smoking.

My husband has said the same thing and even lets me use it in his car. He says it smells like cotton candy.
