The big deal is the elimination of the tars and noxious gases that ruin your lungs and cause more medical problems than can be counted! You get a shot of nicotine, which by the research I can find is really not harmful but is still likely the most addictive substance known.

Everthing I see seems to indicate that these are a great subsitute for smokers as they do help one get rid of the toxic aspects of smoking on a personal level, and keep the nastiness out of other peoples lives as well.

I have no idea if they are cost effective in their use compared to the cost of cigarettes, I cant imagine them being more expensive!

I applaud those that have been using these and hope that they help you get rid of the habit completely. Even if you keep using them, thanks for not smoking!!

I have an electronic cigarette in front of me, which I confiscated from my son and girlfriend, and am reading it where it says it is equal to about 2 packs of cigarettes.  It also has 1.8% nicotine which it states is very addictive and habit forming.  I don't think this brand (OneJoy) is recommended for quitting smoking, because of the nicotine.  The ones with vapor are the ones to help quit smoking.  I wonder how destructive these cigarettes are to our bodiesl

I have tried all different ones out there but I still smoke cigarettes, but I have never gone over a pk a day been smoking for 30 yrs. now or more but the last electronic cig. was the blu and that seems to last the longest out of all that I tried and I enjoyed that one but I need something else to make me quit smoking the real cigarettes. I need to get hypnotized I hear that works.

I never got around to trying electronic cigarettes even though I really wanted to. I've been able to stop smoking for about 8 months now and it had alot to do with not putting myself in situations where I was likely to smoke. Basically became a recluse for a little while but it helped in the long run. I have one maybe once every couple months and the desire has never came back after.

I quit for 4 months the last time i switched to ECigs then lost it and instantly bought a pack. My favorite kind is the Volcano Inferno E-cig. A months worth of nicotine is around $7-15. Your nicotine in the ecig will last 1-3days and the batteries last way longer than other brands.

Google is your friend. You can find me there. Can I find you there?

I've heard that the liquid in the ecigs is the same stuff that they use in breathing treatments, except for the nicotine and flavoring. I don't know if that's true or not. The ingredients are polypropylene glycol, vegetable glycol, water, flavoring and nicotine.I just read that from the bottle.

I'm smoking one  rite now.... So far its not working for me since i rather just go outside and smoke a real cig..... ehhh I mean its not bad.... its OK. but I can taste the plastic a little bit when i smoke it. I do like how it lights up (I got the BLU, its kinda pretty, when u inhale it the tip lights up blue) and its doesn't burn or get hot so it's a lot safer.  I was told i need to try diff flavors. we shall see....

Hypnosis did work for me for 5 years but then I started smoking again.  I later tried several hypnotists and it didn't work again.  I'm 5 months smoke free with the ecig.

I've been on the e-cig for about a month now and I'm holding steady at 3 to five real cigarettes a day. The hardest ones to let go of are the ones I crave first thing in the morning and after meals. I think if I can get over those humps I'll have it whipped.Then I  can start cutting back on the strength of the nicotine in the e-liquid i'm using. Thank you all again for your thoughts and encouragement.

I too have had a lot of good success with the ecig.  I haven't smoked a real cigarette since November
