 Well done Alan for quitting the fags I used to smoke 40 a day up until 3 years ago it was costing me £16 a day I now vape and I have numerous gadgets to help me here is a pic of one of the few I have .I now even mix my own flavours it costs me between £5/£10 a week all my flavours contain zero nicotine. Aside from having better health and wealth I smell a lot better I don't have to redecorate ever six months but as you say I still feel like a social outcast just because I vape as my "harmful" toxins may kill an innocent bystander Nanny state rules unfortunately just something we have to put up with not being a conformist.[ATTACH]94451.IPB[/ATTACH] Nanny state rules unfortunately just something we have to put up with not being a conformist.[ATTACH]94451.IPB[/ATTACH]

 Well done Alan I was a 40 a day man about 25 years ago I gave up picked a darts night as I knew that would be hardest mind you I could've and still could keep the chewing gum factory's in business all on my own, being contentious I don't spit it out on the ground I put it in the paper I took it out of and take it home. Anyone want about 15 tons of used chewing gum or know a good use for it.Comment

 Whatever conclusion the powers that be might eventually come to the most important thing is that you've given up on the cigarettes. I gave up many years ago, but I was a heavy smoker and I know how hard it can be. Well done, and if the e-cigs keep you off the real ones so much the better, even if you have to smoke them like an outcast 
 
 Personally, as a now long time non-smoker, I don't have a problem with them. Several of my colleagues use them and it doesn't bother me. Real cigarettes most certainly would.
 
 Cheers

 That's the way I look at it Steve , I think the main thing is to get off real cigarettes, this has got to be better for me as now I can breath and I don't have a coughing fit every morning, that's got to be better for meOriginally posted by \Whatever conclusion the powers that be might eventually come to the most important thing is that you've given up on the cigarettes.

 Good on you Alan! 
 
 I've not had one (or an e~cig) since late September also 
 
 I was never really tempted by these e~cig things myself. I just wanted to stop cigarettes full stop, and their content.
 
 It's a personal choice, I didn't want to replace one addiction for another, soterspeak.
 
 For me it's been bloody hard, it's winter, I'm a heating engineer, and I seem to have the world screaming at me "why doesn't anybody carry parts in stock anymore?"!!!!!!Comment

 Recent studies in Japan have proven that E-ciggies contain more carcinogenics than real cigarettes and several rather nasty poisons. Formaldehyde one of the nasty ones I can recall
 
 My work place has just banned smoking on the grounds. So I just stopped while at work. So from 20 - 30 a day to about 10!
 
 Next stop 0 (so you are all warned lol).
 
 Our dear friends at EU are also looking into bannning e-cigs and many other places are considering banning them in smoke free places. Which is a good idea if you ask me.

 I've been a non smoker for over a year now, and extremely happy about it. I did try the e-Ciggies, but found my throat didn't agree with them (oh the irony!)
 
 I instead used this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Book-Quitting-Allen-Carr/dp/0140289003/ref=sr_1_48?ie=UTF8&qid=1418678853&sr=8-48&keywords=allen+carr+stop+smoking
 
 First words in it tell you not to stop smoking. A bit of brain washing later and I never touched one again. Even if you think it's codswallop, it's only a couple of quid and a really short book!Comment
