My Electronic Cigarette Life

Hi everyone, I’m Andrew and today I’d like to introduce you to my series of articles featuring my faithfull friend, the electronic cigarette.

Just abit about me, I’m 38 years old and I’ve been smoking for over 20 years, usually about 15 a day but that can go up an down depending on my stress levels.

Due to health reasons, ie short of breath and wretching cough I was advised by my to quit smoking and to be honest at first I thought that it would be quit easy to do.  How wrong can 1 person be! Having tried to quit smoking by will power alone, in other words, cold turkey and having absolutely no success at all, I tried about 3 times and failed 3 times.  Anyhow, after 2 or 3 attempts at cold turkey I decided I needed to try another avenue, thats where the patches came in.  I admit they do help but not as much as I would like.  Any product that states “will power required” is going out on a limb with me.

I found that the patches didn’t last as long as my cravings, in other words, I’d have a patch on but at certains times my cravings would over power it, times like when I’m out socialising or stressed at work, I’d end up smoking and wearing a patch!.

This is whats led me to keep looking and keep trying to find a credible alternative to smoking, something that I can use as and when I need it most, like stressful times.  If I can find that something then I believe I can quit smoking for good.

A close friend of mine has recently tried an electronic cigarette for the first, he too has been looking for a way out of smoking for a while and when he told me my first reaction was to roll my eyes up and say that I thought it was a case of “out of the frying pan into the fire”.

I was out with him socially speaking a couple of weeks ago and to be honest I hadn’t given much thought to his new gimmick until part way through the evening I went, as I often did, to the door of the pub for a smoke, he followed me and thats when I first saw this electronic cigarette, he started to show me how easy this thing was to use and I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself about the idea of smoking a piece of plastic.  To my surprise I was quite taken aback by the realism of the thing, the tip of the cig turned orange when he took a drag and the thing gave off smoke!  I was dying to ask him to let me have a go and when he offered I had to quell my excitement – I was like a child again, really excited to use a new toy.  I took a drag and was immediately impressed with how effective it was, I could really taste the flavour of the tobacco and the throat hit was really good.

After all my scepticism I was very impressed with the electronic cigarette, and I’m now on a mission to buy my own.

In my next article I’ll be discussing the different electronic cigarettes currently available and trying to make sense of it.
