Default Smoking

You guys might be happy to learn I picked up one of those electronic cigarettes last night and haven't smoked a real cigarette since. Once I get acclimated to this, I'm going to quit for good. Wish me luck.

Awesome! Keep it up -- and don't be too hard on yourself if you slip up. Sounds like you're doing great!

Luck has nothing to do with it! All you need is desire, you will do it! Smoking sucks and you know it! It is bad for everyone and you WILL be free from it!

Yeah, dude those are pretty nifty. My buddy tried that, but kept loosing all the spare parts and batteries and is over-all pretty clumsy. But he does admit spending 50 or more on the origional e-cig is totally worth it, and then have spare chargeables handy.

If your a little strange like some folks, apparently you can make a version w/ thc oil...... jus' sayin' same sweet odor...

Excellent! Quitting is such a wicked smart thing to do. Not least of which is that you will be able to afford more guitars.

Get this: http://allencarr.com/57/the-easy-way...op-smoking-dvd

I know people who have seen this, and quit on the spot.

Quitting anything is all in the mind. If you don't really want to quit, you're wasting your time.

Best of look, and get focused.

Best of luck!!. But, please be carefull. The nicotine concntrates are not regulated. Some of them are not the concentration they say they are. Nicotine overdose is very nasty and can f you up for a long, long time. It has happened because the concentrate said x %, when in reality it was x+109%.

Its the least we can do. Just keep going further. And, even before you quit, change your pic here. Or blot out the butt.
