You need to start running. Exercise becomes a replacement - you get addicted to the endorphins .. over time you forget about cigs completely.
First few weeks should be spent away from bars / pub though.

lemmy_k, are you being facetious, or are you serious? If you're serious, what does "moving hand to mouth to simulate smoking" have to do with anything? And nicotine -like any drug- has both its own benefits, and hazards

lemmy_k, secondly, that has nothing to do with what I had claimed. I said I quit smoking tobacco. It works, and I am living evidence of that. Furthermore, I've cut down vaping from every other night, to twice a month. Again, evidence.

I'd smoked for about 20 years and last April I decided to stop.
Over about 3 weeks I cut down the amount I was smoking and would occasionally have some gum at night when the cravings got their worst or when I was having a drink.I'd only tried a few times previously to stop but was never successful as never really had my heart in it.
I guess you've just got to decide for yourself and make sure it's a definite thing that you want to and are going to stop.
Personally I wouldn't faff about with e-cigarettes as it's not really getting you out of any habits.
It's not the nicotine that's the addiction really - it's easy to overcome. The thing that's hardest to overcome is your ritual cigarette times and to breakout of this routine and do something else instead.
Nowadays when I walk past someone smoking 50% of the time i think "yuck" and 50% of the time if it's a nice smelling brand i'll crave it.
I'd never be a preacher against smoking, each to their own its a personal choice but I will say that it's easier than you think to stop - it's all about breaking rituals not beating an addiction.
Definitely DON'T bother with those e-cigs though.

^ Tobacco companies are going to be funding studies like this probably throwing endless piles of money at these studies 'cos they are shitting their pants that people are going to stop smoking tobacco.

- There's truth there but that does not mean there are not possible dangers. That comes with any drug though.discoduro

I haven't had a cigarette in 28 days because i got an e-cig. I got the blu brand one with tobacco flavored vapor. It has not been easy, but not nearly as hard as the other times i've quit, cold turkey or otherwise.

The primary concern I have with these things is the fact that, as best as I can tell*, the vast majority of the consumables are made in China.
Does anyone know of any purely Euro- or US-made products?
.
* Some friends and I seriously investigated selling e-Cigarettes about 6 years ago, so I did quite a lot of research back then. We decided that the market in the UK was probably nearing saturation and we'd be chasing ever dwindling percentages. God, how wrong we were...

been using one for a few months now. in the beginning i liked it a lot, but started with the odd cigarette again, and now i'm struggling to just vape... gotta stop this shit tobacco.

when i was trying to quit, i found the gums/patches/etc just kept my body dependent on nicotine. The only way i had any lasting success was cold turkey. I also found Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking and http://whyquit.com/joel/dayzero.… helpful.
I've been a nonsmoker for 2 years now, and love it. Goodluck!
- i took a photo last year of my gf smoking in bed reading carr's book... t'is well funny. good on you for quitting though.sine

Surely sucking on a battery all day is really unhealthy? I gave up with nicotine lozenges, just replace the cigarettes with them: when you crave a cigarette, take a lozenge. You have to break the habit. The e-cigarette perpetuates the habit...
- Yeah, copious readings of the Allen Carr book help too. I think you can find it somewhere online...eoin
- Yeh, good for you, Eoin - you've quit for quite a while now, haven't you ?mikotondria3
