e-cigarettes Poll/survey. What Information/experience can you share?

When you stop smoking your body dumps a load of potassium. I know because after smoking for 13 yrs I quite cold turkey and the doctor gave me a potassium pill to counteract this problem. And get some kind of exercise each time you feel like smoking. walk fast or jog or ride a bicycle what ever you wish it helps get rid of the desire to smoke.

I drank a lot of tomato juice too. has potassium in it.

For a solid year I dreamed I was smoking and woke up thinking I had. Was so glad to know I had not.

I was so glad when I was all done and could walk up a hill without being winded and blow up a simple balloon too. may not mean much to you but it did to me. I had smoked a pack of marlboros or winstons a day. Had a bad cough back then and it was just the last straw. That was back when they were just 50 cents a pack.

Praying for you to get through this. :)

Don't pay for expensive "starter kits". There is a cheaper version out there. Basically one "fake cigarette" loaded with enough to last for about 300 to 400 puffs.

You can find them at the local gas stations and places like CVS and Walgreens.

Here is one brand that has a store locator:

I can't tell you much about them but it seems that a lot of people complain that the fake cigarettes don't last as long as promised. But the sad truth is that a real cigarette burns to the end after about 10 or so puffs while the e-cigarette doesn't and people simply puff on them a lot longer than they should and think they don't get enough "cigarettes" out of them.

You will have a better chance doing this cold turkey - Buy yourself one tin can of some disgusting chewing tobacco in pouch form. (this is what you use when you simply can't stand it any longer), 2 bags of baby carrots, get yourself a good book, a new video game and hole yourself up during a weekend. No alcohol for the next 30 days or else you will fail.

Keep your mind busy with reading or the video game, stay away from human beings for 48 hours, if possible (or else they may not like you any more). When it gets to be unbearable go to the bathroom, pop a tobacco pouch into your mouth - inside of the lower lip - count to 30 and throw the thing out). You will have absorbed enough nicotine through the membranes of your mouth lining to keep your nicotine demon at bay).

Since you are a lady... you won't start "chewing" tobacco... and the tin of tobacco should last throughout the whole weaning process.

Good news... within 72 hours you have conquered the nicotine addiction. Now you can spend the rest of your life wondering what to do with yourself when you are on a break at work.... lol..

My son has sold a variety of brands at mall kiosks.

He says, "All you really need to do, is order the part types, and you can do that separately. Joye 510 with PCC."

He suggests just buying over the internet from a generic site like Amazon. They're all the same, and there's a huge markup at the Kiosk mall. And, they make a ton of money off the refill cartridges, but it's still way cheaper than buying "real" cigs.
