As mentioned in my health blog, it is not easy to abruptly cease from smoking especially for people who has been smoking more than 10 years and consuming a pack or more a day. It is because of the withdrawal symptoms that are much more difficult to handle than being used to smoking. The urge and eagerness to smoke more than the usual sticks of cigarettes are just some of these symptoms which more often than not would result to a more complication to the patient psychologically.
The recommended solution, by far, for these people who have decided to cease smoking is to gradually reduce the number of sticks to smoke per day. In this way, the amount of nicotine needed by the body is steeped until it diminished. According to patients who had done this they only have had minimal withdrawal symptoms felt like headache and drowsiness and it didn’t even last longer. Psychological problems like the urge to smoke more sticks wasn’t experienced as well.

Moreover, when electronic cigarettes were made available in the market, many smokers has changed their smoking habits from tobacco sticks to e-cigarettes. According to the online electronic cigarette reviews as well as smokers’ feedback, these e-cigarettes contain lesser to no nicotine amounts in their cigarettes. Most of these are just vaporizers or inhalers that produce an aerosol mists. These cigarettes contain liquids that are glycerin-based solution and are flavored which act as stimulants for the smoking act.
Though there are no evidences yet from the health practitioners published proving the helpful ways in smoking cessation of e-cigarettes, users still claim the benefits of these inhalers to them. For people who used to smoke, there is still nothing more helpful for you to stop smoking but only your personal help to yourself and courage to say ‘bye’ to cigarettes — the best way to change lifestyle, I guess. And for those who hasn’t started popping cigarettes sticks yet, I advise you not to try even once. Cigarette smoking still is bad for your health and to people who can inhale the smoke you popped.
I used to smoke when I was in College. But it was easy for me to stop immediately.
I have friends who uses e-cigarette to curb their smoking habit some are happy while some can’t stand using it. I believe discipline and will power plus support from loved ones are the most effective way for a smoker to stop using cigarette.
I hope to hear this from my husband,”smoking, no more”. ah, how I wish! He has e cigar but he went back into smoking again.
I never tried smoking and don’t plan to start now. I think electronic cigars can really help in changing a smokers lifestyle.
Good thing my husband does not smoke, anyway I recommend this e-cigarette to my sister who are a frequent smoker.
I have relatives who can’t stop smoking cold turkey as well. They occasionally just do whenever they feel like they are too full after meals. What was your strategy?
mybe my husband shud give this e-cigarettes a try! sounds very promising! xx
I remember when I was still in college. It was the time when I learned how to take hits due to peer pressure. Thank God it wasn’t hard for me to stop. I guess one of the factors is by having a change of heart and mind. Eventhough E-cigs are already avail in the market, I guess prevention is still better than cure. So better stop nalang, right?
In a way, nakakatulong daw ng malaki itong e-cigarettes for smokers. Eh, what should be address ay kung paano totally abstain from cigarette smoking ang user, kasi ang gawawa ay yung second-hand smokers.
I’ve never enjoyed smoking. Good for me yay!
Sometimes it’s all in our minds. Our self discipline. As long as you stick to your game plan and believe in yourself that you can quit smoking then I guess you can. I quit smoking just recently.
I hate smoking either. You won’t reap any good benefits from it.
I never smoked. It may be because I don’t know how to do it. Either ways, I think it’s beneficial not to. Kudos to you!
Bad habits are really the hardest to break so it would be wise not to start. For those who are already smoking, the earlier one stops , the better chances that the body can recover from the harmful effects of cigarettes.
i tried smoking when I’m still in high school, good thing it never became an addiction.
i really hate smokers, it’s my number one rule for hubby that if he smoke , he should be outside the house. good point here.
I don’t know and I don’t plan to.. I have tried once but the taste is so awful.. that’s why I don’t get why people are so hooked to this.. but e-cigars does make a difference since it doesn’t contain tar..
tried smoking when i was young, but never became a habit. maybe that’s why i never craved for it. in fact, i find the smoke disgusting. i’m glad that some people are making an effort to stop, even with the help of an e-cigarette. it’s good for the health, and the pocket
I’ve never smoked! I also don’t have any plans of smoking! Maybe because my parents are non-smokers too.
I have a friend who is a smoker addict now he stopping due to illness. About e-cigarette, still don’t like the idea because I think there is an bad effect in using it.
Determination, self control and a lot prayers can help anyone fight against cigarette addiction. No need to spend money na!
