Damm Yankee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRANDONLEE — Fri, 07 Feb 2014 20:17:02 GMT

I bought the Blu cigareete i am using it as i'm typing it isn't strong though but better than nothing.There were a few there at walgreens but i didn't want to ask anyone working there because the store was busy and i was kind of shy to ask for help as i didn't want people staring at me knowing i am a smoker you know the looks you get now a days lol.But within the next hour i will be looking through that site that you mentioned for something better.By the way i had a cig. this morning before i headed out to walgreens.Last night was torture.I just hope all this is worth it.I don't want to know if years from now i got sick anyways.Thanx for all your help i do appreciate it a lot.

You are so welcome, Brandonlee!!!!

I know, those Blu e-cigs are pretty weak and so HUGE, but it will keep you and your husband from killing each other. That's always a good thing... lol. If you need any help wading through that site, give me a shout. I know that it's overwhelming as can be. There is sooooo much stuff on there.

Don't be shy about asking for help. Anyone who sees you and thinks anything might think how great it is that you're quitting. Some may be smokers who wish they had your courage. Some may be former smokers who know how hard it was for them to quit and silently applaud you.

Be strong...one day at a time.

I agree...you have to start some where and if this helps...buy them proudly.

You hope it is worth it??? Of course it is!!!

Think of the money you'll save, how much better you and your house/car will smell, not to even mention your health. Think of all the people who love you and will be so happy to have you around longer and to not have to smell that awful stink anymore,lol.

Seriously, people who smoke become immune to it. I was just at Target in the toothbrush aisle and a nice looking lady came walking towards me and all of a sudden all I could smell was stale cigarettes. It was so strong and so nauseating and I couldn't get away from her fast enough.

I smoked myself when I was young and tried several times to quit before I was finally successful. It is a battle but SO worth it. You CAN do it. Something that helped me was to start calling them cancer sticks and to picture myself with emphysema or lung cancer dying. I know that is harsh but it truly helped me to quit.

Hang in there! I've gone down that path myself & I know how hard it is, but it's worth it to get off that stuff.

You come here and ""talk"" to us any time you need to. Everyone is hoping and wishing for your success. And don't give up if you slip up once in a while; sometimes it takes a few tries.

All the very best wishes to you!

A dear friend of mine has an e-cig, it's not one of those but one of e-cigs that you put liquid into yourself. It did the trick for her. They have many flavors, different levels of nicotine or no nicotine at all. When she smokes it, it gives off a lot of vapor and it feels like the real thing to her. Go to a Vapor Store and talk with them, they will set you up. Good luck to you, you can do it!

Leonard Nimoy just posted he has COPD after quitting 30 years ago. Perhaps you just saved your life.

I quit cold turkey in 1974. You can do it if you choose to.

Not always; some people have an easier time of it than others. Whatever helps you quit is fine.

Hey ~ Go to white cloud e cig on the net. Look at the FLING Disposable (not the Mini). They have sales. You can quit with this one. Only one better (IMO) is the NJOY, but they are high priced, and don't last long. You can go from high nicotine, all the way to no nicotine with the FLING. Hope this helps. Mistic

You can do it BRANDONLEE..........take back what did not work........and get your money back.........Try what Mistic shared or try everything but I would get my money back on something that does not work.

Life doesn't come with guarantees that you'll get to the end without issues, but giving up cigarettes is certainly as good a thing you can do for yourself as I can think of. I wish you the strength to go forward and succeed.

Rainbows and Roses... They do work, it's just that they are nowhere near as strong as a real cigarette. That's what Brandonlee is experiencing. When I recommended that one to her, I told her straight up that she wouldn't be happy with it and that it was just to take the edge off and hold her over until she received an order from another vendor.

I know its hard BRANDONLEE............but you will be happy when its over............anyone that quits and I did in 2001 feels better........but it is hard.........I know you can do it..............

I have been using e cigs for three months now and have not had a cigarette since.

Goggle e cigarettes and you will fine a lot of places to buy them. My favorite site is Halo.

Saving a lot of money and feeling a whole lot better. Good luck!
