Good on you for quitting! For anyone else thinking about it, I highly reccommend the electronic cigarette.

I have not smoked a cigarette in 284 days now. I smoked for 13 years (unfortunately) and tried to quit dozens of times using every method under the sun. I just enoyed it too much and even when I did quit, a few months later, I was back to it again.

I have progressively lowered my nicotine intake since I started the electronic cig and now I'm down to no nicotine at all.

The best part is, I'm still enjoying smoking. No addiction or harmfull tar, just a habit. Sure I can quit now if I wanted but, It's relaxing and damn near harmless.

I am in the military and have strict fitness requirements to keep up on. After just 3 months using this thing, I improved my 1.5 mile run time by 2 whole minutes. I ran faster than I did when I was 18 years old. The electronic cigarette has been a miracle in my life and I pray that this post will help someone else who wants to quit an awfull addiction that WILL kill you.

Good luck to all of you future non-smokers!

Great job!! Keep it up. All the nicotine is out of your system now and it's pretty much just down to breaking the habits that you had when you were smoking.

Heard the nightmares and side effects weren't worth it /

I absolutely LOVED the dreams I had on chantix! The were far from nightmares, just super vivid! And it worked like a charm, 3 years and 3 weeks nicotine free!

Congrats!!! It has been 22 days for me! I smoked for 28 years:banghead: I Tried several times over the years and had a tough go of it. This time I tried what worked for a friend, Electronic cigarrettes. I am only 3 weeks in but I am confident I will never smoke a real cig again! Soon I will start lowering the nicotine in the refills till im at 0mg. I feel like I just switched brands. ( One without all the harmful chemicals) If I knew it was gonna be this easy I would not have been so scared to quit!! The best motivater is the support im getting from my family and friends.
I reasearched all the e-cigs on the market and chose the one with the best unbiast reviews. Im glad I did because there are many cheap knockoffs trying to cash in on this rapidly growing market. Here is the one I use If anyone wants to give it a go:
