A significant component of the addiction to cigarettes is the manual activity, i.e., the hand and mouth activity, the familiar ritual associated with removing a cigarette from the pack, placing it between the lips, lighting it and drawing smoke from it. The electronic cigarette, which looks just like a cigarette and produces water vapor when drawn on, satisfies the manual activity aspect of the craving. I don't recommend using these devices as an aid to quitting cigarettes because they tend to retain that imbedded aspect of the craving.I have quit smoking quite a few times for various reasons. Sometimes as much as ten years at a time. I never liked being a non-smoker and never saw a single benefit from it. That's why I always went back to it. I do not smoke now except for electronic cigarettes which leave me less resentful. For anyone who wants to stop smoking cigarettes, I highly recommend e-cigs.

Well, you stop smoking cigarettes, but you are still sucking nicotine into your system. You are STILL addicted!I have quit smoking quite a few times for various reasons.

I used the e-cigs for awhile....i actually used them for the 2 weeks i spent at my son's in Germany a couple yrs ago. I didn't smoke 1 cig. I thought if i could get through those 2 wks using it that i could continue to when i got home and FINALLY quit.
Nope
I've smoked since i was about 16 and i'll be 59 this saturday. I've tried just about everything to quit (except hypnotism). I'm the first to admit that when it comes to my cigs i'm the weakest person in the world. And it didn't help that they say cigs are harder to get away from than coke or heroin....so i've never tried any of that stuff because i know i'm an addictive person and "trying" it probably wouldn't have been enough. I get so mad at myself for not being able to quit....

What about acupuncture? You said everything, but I'm just wondering.
I don't know how my sister finally quit. She started at 13. Wanna hear a funny?
Okay, my mom was in a coma for seven weeks. - right. That's not the funny bit.
So a couple of years later she says to my sister "If I can quit, anybody can."
Sister sort of exploded. "MOM. You were in a COMA. I would LOVE to be in a coma for seven weeks so I could quit smoking TOO."

Yup...like i said, i think the only thing i haven't tried is hypnosis, and i don't like that idea at all. I still have some of those little inhalers they came out with a few yrs ago, they do help and i try to use them as much as possible. But that's still "inhaling" nicotine so it doesn't get rid of that addiction!!!
I think i understand your sister....sometimes i think that would be the only way to quit too....PUT ME TO SLEEP FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS!
My problem is i love it and hate it at the same time....i enjoy smoking (most of the time), but hate that it has such a strong hold on me.
