They do work. I was a very heavy smoker until March 31st. of last year. I haven't had an analog cigarette since. I ordered a kit for myself, the DW, and the oldest DD. None of us are smoking now.
I suggest going over to the ECF(Electronic Cigarette Forums)and researching a little before you make the commitment and buy. If you happen to go the the mall or the local 7-11 and buy one, throw it in the trash on the way out the door. That's about how much good they will do you. 99% of them are junk.
PM me if you are interested and I will give you a list of the vendors that I use. I fill my own, so the savings is substantial. I myself started with a cigarette like type unit. I now use what is called the Go-Go. I can fill a Cartomizer and it will last all day with a fresh battery. The battery will actually last about 24hrs.
When you decide on a kit make sure to get a couple extra batteries. We all have 4 to 6 batteries for ours.
Don't pressure yourself and look at it as switching brands and you will be OK. ( I LOVE THIS ONE!!!! - I added this)
Good Luck!!!
Totally agree with Chook-a-holic. Do some research, check out ECF forum (lots of very informed & expert people) & find what best suits your needs. The cheap ones you buy in a store or in a mall kiosk are expensive junk that may cause you not to have success. Call any of the companies that sell e-cig products & they will be more than happy to guide you through the process of buying what is right for you.
My DH & I were 40+ year smokers ending at 1 1/2 packs a day each. Very expensive & very deadly. We feel great, no more wheezing, hacking & shortness of breath. I stacked a full cord of wood about a month ago in the cold weather and never coughed once or got short of breath. We, our car & our house smell better too. No more stinky hair, breath, clothing!!! It's wonderful!!!!
I initially ordered the kit for us as just a substitute to smoking when we were at our daughter's house. We did not intend to quit smoking, so I call it our "accidental quit." We got our e-cig couples kit on Dec. 6th, ran out of cigarettes, neither of us wanted to go to the store. We haven't had a tobacco cigarette since. But we got a good kit with 4 batteries & all the right stuff to start with. After purchasing pre-filled cartomizers, we started filling our own which is a lot cheaper.
It has been 2 months & 16 hours as of today. We have
not smoked over 3400 cigarettes & have
not spent $650+ dollars. Yes, I know that sounds extreme, but it's true.
3400 cigarettes not smoked in 2 months. Isn't that insane!!!!! So far with everything that I'VE purchased (I am a little crazy when it comes to getting it right), we've spent about $300. So we are still up +$350.00. The costs are now going down. There will be some maintenance items like new cartomizers when these get old (taken care many of ours have lasted 2 mons) & ejuice which is the nicotine, PG, VG & flavorings. Eventually the batteries will get old & have to be replaced, but it's still a whole lot less expensive & so much healthier.
I'm not going to tell you that it's been ultra easy, there have been a few tough days, but when I got the craving I just "vaped" like a maniac. It passed. This has been the easiest quit I have ever done & I've tried many times to quit. No major withdrawal symptoms as long as you get the nicotine amount correct. Now I can go all day & not even think about cigarettes.
