I haven't had a normal cigerette now for a couple of months, I now use the VIP e-cig I purchased via Groupon.

Great I haven't had a real fag, but am still a little concerned about any health risks "vaping" may cause.

For those that use them what are your thoughts on the e-cig ?

I've been using one for nearly 1.5 years, it's so much better than smoking! As I understand it, no official government approved tests have been carried out on the health risks and manufacturers are banned from referring to them as aids to quitting smoking. I got mine from a company called Totally Wicked, if you google them there's a good forum where you can get all the answers you should want!

You lot are really making me think that I should join your club. I want to quit, and have loads of times without success, obviously!

My health isn't good at the moment, not due to smoking may I add. I am in the process of being tested for Hemochromotosis. A serious disease which is basically caused by too much iron in my blood. It's a genetic illness that can eventually cause cirrhosis of the liver in a similar way that alcohol does!

I am now in an appreciative state of mind that I need to do everything in my power to stop smoking. I just don't know how or where to start or how to finally succeed in achieving this? I have stopped drinking alcohol completely and am watching my diet carefully. This complete change in my lifestyle is challenging enough without adding any more stress to it!

I thought about starting a thread on this subject but I really don't want it to be a "look at me thread".. I am fairly at my wits end health wise but I appreciate that many people are far worse off than me. Just want some genuine advice from my NSC family please.

Any advice please guys n gals?

Funny you should put this up, I was considering starting a thread on this very subject. I would like to get one, which one do people recommend?

Electronic cigarettes UK

I purchased the VIP E-Cig from Groupon. Cost 19.95 + 4.95 p+p get a charger and 17 cartomizers. 1 cartomizer is equivalent to 40 real fags I think.

Works great for me. But read the above forum for other reviews.

How much are they? I keep finding really random prices for them. I really want to quit for uni in September, as I intend to play a lot more competitive football with the uni's multiple teams.

Any recommendations?

you will feel miles better and not even miss smoking, plus you can smoke it anywhere, its not on the public ban

Been using it for 4 months now. I do sometimes have a real ciggie at the weekend but all week I use the nicolite. Pretty much a non smoker now.

I used one for three months last time I quit, in fact I'd say the only reason I started again was because I lost my E-cigarette. Not quite the real thing, but certainly close.

I also managed to get mine free online, as a trial. This was a couple of years ago though.

Just ordered a SKYCIG. Looks pretty smart, and I wanted one that didn't look realistic enough that people would try and bust me. Can we use them at the Amex?

You could always talk to your GP they will be able to tell you about all your available options. I quit two and half years ago. I had had enough didn't want to be a slave any more, I read a book by Alan Carr called quit smoking the easy way. Didn't believe a word at first but the more I read the more it made sense, by the end of the book I was raring to go wanting to get to the end of the book. At the end I walking away from smoking no stress no worries and I've never looked back. It might not be for everyone but there are a few others on here that have used Alan Carr books to great success. When I think about having quit smoking its makes me smile. Good luck to you.

I did go down the 'look at me' thread road :lol: - Quitting Smoking Thread

Some good suggestions on there. Personally I've just done my first 24 hours without a cigarette, hasn't been too bad. I've been taking Champix, which you can get at the cost of a prescription, which definitely helped as I was spending a fortune on patches/NRT treatment last time. It's only been a week with the tablets and a day without a cigarette, which is far from out of the woods, but so far so good.
