E Cigarettes Saved My Life!

I am a smoker and after smoking for over 20 years I have tried to give up on several occasions, but nothing has ever worked.
I recently had to make a long haul flight for work and I was dreading it, firstly, because I’m a nervous flyer, and secondly because I knew I would not be able to smoke for a period of several hours.
I was telling a colleague about my worries one day and he suggested that I try electronic cigarettes. I had never heard of them and didn’t know what they were. As I have tried every smoking cessation aid under the sun I was more than a little sceptical about these E cigarettes.
However, I was so desperate to be able to smoke on my flight in order to calm my nerves that I decided I had nothing to lose. I bought my first pack of electronic cigarettes online but I didn’t hold out much hope that they would be able to do anything for me.
When my E cigarettes arrived they looked just like a pack of real cigarettes, which was a good start. Each cigarette has a battery where the tobacco would normally be. Inside the filter tip is a capsule containing nicotine and flavourings. You can ...
... choose the flavouring you have, such as strawberry, but you also get that distinctive smoking flavour too.
When you suck on an e cigarette an electrical reaction is set off which stimulates the lithium battery. This releases water vapour. It’s completely odourless and harmless but it looks just like real smoke.
On my first try with E cigarettes I was pleasantly surprised by just how authentic they felt, but I was still worried that they wouldn’t satisfy my cravings and that I would long for a real cigarette on the plane.
So, a few weeks before my flight, I started smoking with electronic cigarettes regularly. To my surprise I found that I was using them more and more and smoking genuine cigarettes less and less. It was almost as though I had reduced my smoking without even realising I was doing it!
The day of my flight came around and although I was nervous about the long haul, I barely thought about not being able to smoke. When I got out my E cigarette all the other passengers were very curious and I even had to give a few other smokers a puff.
Although I still haven’t given up smoking completely, E cigarettes have definitely helped me reduce the amount I smoke.
