Giving Up Smoking Using An Electronic Cigarette

By Zarif Stephanovich


Anyone who is trying to give up smoking will tell you how difficult it is, and that its a constant battle. Fortunately they now have several means to choose from, and it is no longer just a matter of will power. For a while there has been the nicotine replacement patch and various gums, but quite a new addition is the electronic cigarette.

There probably are not many people who would disagree that smoking is harmful to health, and as such anyone trying to quit should receive plenty of encouragement. It is often claimed that its the mixture of additives and chemicals in tobacco which make it so addictive. Surely they cannot be the sole reason for this addiction though.

If you ask a smoker most will claim that there is some form of routine they associate with smoking. The classic example is the smoking after a meal which even used to be depicted in films. There are many people who claim that to succeed in stopping smoking, the smoker will have to avoid these times. Surely a smoker will still have to eat, so avoiding the end of a meal could be impossible to achieve. Over the years a smoker will have developed other habits associated with smoking that they might not even be aware of. Even reaching for a packet which is normally kept in the same place, or the hunt for a lighter can be viewed as habits. These activities involve the use of hands, a patch cannot help with this. Many former smokers state that finding something else to do with their hands was the most difficult part of quitting.

These usual actions can now be addressed by using one of these devices as part of your efforts to break the habit. There are some models which imitate the actual appearance of what you are trying to leave behind you. Some will even come in a regular sized box.

So by using such a system you can carry on with your normal routine. Many choose to incorporate a regime such as this in conjunction with either patches or gum. There is something comforting to have a familiar sized packet in either your pocket or bag.

Even the actual process of smoking has some regularity associated with it, which can be mimicked by this system. There is the removing the pack from where its normally kept, opening it and then pulling out the device. In exactly the same way that you always used to do, so your hands are still involved all of the while.

The smoke is provided by a liquid passing over a heating element. The liquid will come in either a refill bottle or in a disposable cartridge. They are available in a wide variety of flavors, and some will even taste like the most popular brands of tobacco.

Hopefully those who are trying to give up smoking will consider using an electronic cigarette as part of their arsenal. As previously mentioned they are very effective when used as part of a combination method. The best of it all is that they really do work.
