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 bystanderNanny 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

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
