Get An Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit and Kick Start Your Quit Smoking Program

There should not be the slightest doubt in the mind of any smoker that quitting smoking is a great idea. Unfortunately, like many great ideas, giving up tobacco is easier to talk about than to accomplish. As a smoker for over 40 years, I probably tried to quit at least 20 times. The longest I was able to stop smoking using methods like willpower, nicotine patches and pills was about 4 weeks.

Why did I fail to quit smoking so many times? What was missing in my program? Certainly, quitting cold turkey is the least likely way to succeed but why didn’t traditional nicotine replacement work for me?

The answer to my questions became obvious when I learned about the electric cigarette and ordered my first electronic cigarette starter kit. As I opened the box and assembled the device, everything became as clear as a cloudless day. While nicotine replacement will provide the smoker with the nicotine their body craves, there is so much more involved in smoking than just satisfying your addiction to nicotine. No other quit smoking device so closely matches every aspect of smoking a real cigarette as the electronic cigarette.

Smoking involves a complicated ritual that becomes deeply ingrained in the smoker’s mind. Every step of the process becomes part of the smoking habit. Lighting a cigarette, holding it in your hand, putting it to your lips, dragging on the cigarette and inhaling the smoke. The deep satisfaction of feeling your lungs fill with smoke and the calm that follows as the nicotine enters your bloodstream, travels through your body and finally triggers receptors in your brain.

Consider how much is actually involved in smoking and you will begin to understand why it is so hard to quit. It becomes much easier to grasp why patches and pills are rarely successful and why quitting by willpower alone is such a struggle.

The electronic cigarette is a game changer. The electronic cigarette looks just like a real cigarette. It allows you to hold it in your hand, put in between your lips and inhale. The difference is that there is no tobacco involved and nothing is burned. You are not inhaling smoke but rather a vapor that contains a small amount of nicotine in every drag. You are able to satisfy your addiction to nicotine without inhaling the more than 5000 chemicals and 59 known carcinogens you get with every drag of tobacco.

How Does It Work?

Electronic cigarette starter_kit

For those readers who have never seen an electronic cigarette, here is a brief description. The electronic cigarette is a two part metal tube that look just like a real cigarette. The larger part, which corresponds to the part of the cigarette that contains the tobacco, holds a small lithium ion battery and a heating element. The end of this section has a tiny led that lights up when the user inhales in order to simulate the glowing end of cigarette.

The smaller section of the electronic cigarette matches the filter on a tobacco cigarette and hold a replaceable cartridge full of liquid nicotine solution. Each individual nicotine cartridge is equivalent to one pack of tobacco cigarettes. The two sections can be unscrewed to facilitate replacing the nicotine cartridge and to allow the user to recharge the battery used to power the heating element.

When you drag on the electronic cigarette, the heating element vaporizes a small amount of the nicotine solution and the user inhales the vapor. Each drag gives the user an amount of vapor that is equivalent to the amount of smoke you would get from a drag on a tobacco cigarette. You get the nicotine you need without inhaling all the poisons found in a tobacco cigarette and you get the satisfaction of feeling the vapor fill your lungs.

Getting Started: Choosing An Electronic Cigarette

OK! Now you are more determined than ever to try again to quit smoking. Let’s get you started. The best way to begin using the electronic cigarette is to buy an electronic cigarette starter kit. The starter kit will include the actual electronic cigarette, a recharger that plugs into an ac outlet and replacement nicotine cartridges. The starter kit will also include an instruction manual and many come with a second recharger that plugs into the USB port on a computer. Some deluxe kits may include extras like a fancy leather pouch to carry your electronic cigarette or flavored nicotine cartridges.

There are so many electronic cigarettes to choose from and you may be confused as to how to go about finding the very best one. This is where our old favorite, the World Wide Web, can really come in handy. Open up your web browser and do a search on Goggle for “electronic cigarettes” to find a listing of all the most popular brands. Enter a keyword such as “electronic cigarette reviews” to find detailed reviews of many well known electronic cigarettes. There are even several electronic cigarette blogs on the internet that discuss anything and everything about electronic cigarettes.

Once you have done your research, read the electronic cigarette reviews and visited the electronic cigarette blogs, you can order your electronic cigarette starter kit from your chosen brand’s website. If you live near a major shopping mall, there may even be a kiosk that sells electronic cigarettes. While kiosks are convenient and allow you to avoid waiting for delivery, they usually only sell one specific brand of electronic cigarette. The choice between same day service and buying the exact brand you want is one you will have to make for yourself. Personally, I was lucky. I found the brand I had chosen at my local mall.

The Big Question: Are Electronic Cigarettes Safe And Effective?

Obviously, you want to quit smoking in a safe and effective manner. You are probably wondering just how safe electronic cigarettes really are and if they actually work?

Nictone side effects

Here is what respected tobacco researcher,Dr. Michael Siegel of Boston University has to say about the safety and effectiveness of electronic cigarettes: “Tobacco contains about 5,000 known chemicals with as many as 100,000 more that haven’t yet been identified. E-cigarettes eliminate many of those ingredients. The relevant question is not, are these things safe? But are these things much safer than real cigarettes, and do they help people quit smoking? The answer to both of those questions we know is yes.”

Dr.Siegel went on to say, “The other products (nicotine patches and pills) are only replacing nicotine; this product is also dealing with the behavioral aspect of smoking. Holding and puffing are all part of addiction. The beauty of e-cigs is that they replace most of the behavioral stimuli that are associated with the smoking process. E-cigarettes seem relatively safe—at least safer than smoking regular cigarettes. They are a lot safer than smoking tobacco because there is no tobacco in these devices, only nicotine.”

While the fact that there is no tobacco in electronic cigarettes is certainly a positive step, you may be wondering what benefit there is to using a device that keeps you addicted to nicotine. Happily, there is an effective solution. To make giving up nicotine easier, the nicotine cartridges used in the electronic cigarette come in a wide range of strengths. The user can reduce the strength of the nicotine cartridge every few weeks until they are finally nicotine free as well as tobacco free. Many users have found that by reducing the strength of the nicotine cartridge every 4 to 6 weeks, they were able to slowly and successfully wean themselves off of nicotine completely.

Using the electronic cigarette and following a program of reducing the strength of the nicotine cartridge is certainly one of the safest, most effective ways to quit smoking. Electronic cigarettes have enabled thousands and thousands of smokers to give up tobacco and free themselves of their addiction to nicotine. This has allowed them to live a healthier life without the expense and risks of smoking. If you are ready to kick the tobacco habit, then you really should consider the electronic cigarette.

If you are a smoker, you have probably heard many of the reasons you should quit. You are certainly aware of the health risks from smoking tobacco. You may already be feeling some the effects of smoking including shortness of breath, high blood pressure and a host of other aliments. Your body, home and clothing smell like an ashtray and the only person who wants kiss you is another smoker or your mom.

You have probably tried to quit smoking so many times that you have lost count. Every time you light a cigarette, you are aware of how bad it is for you, yet you continue to smoke. You are at the point where smoking has become a unique form of gambling. You are betting that you will defy the odds and live a long, healthy life despite all the risks you are taking by continuing to smoke.

tobacco chemicalsMedical research has shown that what makes smoking so dangerous is the burning of the tobacco. When tobacco is burned, it releases more than 4000 chemicals, of which 69 are known to cause cancer. Cigarette manufacturers are allowed by the United States Government to add another 599 chemicals to a cigarette. Some of these chemicals are designed to speed the uptake of nicotine to your brain, which increases the level of your addiction. Other chemicals are used to enhance the flavor or to control the burn rate of your cigarette. The end result is that you are inhaling a chemical cocktail that is endangering your very existence.

Before you give up hope and start planning for your funeral, you should know that there is help available. There is a marvelous new product on the market that doctors and scientists are calling the most effective device ever invented to help smokers give up tobacco. Smokers are achieving an unprecedented rate of success by using the Electronic Cigarette to quit smoking.

The Electronic Cigarette consists of a two part tube that looks like a real cigarette

The larger section corresponds to the part of the cigarette that contains the tobacco. This section encloses a tiny battery and a heating element. The second part of the electronic cigarette corresponds to the filter of a cigarette and holds the replaceable nicotine cartridge. Each cartridge is equal to one pack of tobacco cigarettes.

When a smoker uses an electronic cigarette, they inhale just like they would a tobacco cigarette.

The heating element vaporizes a small amount of the nicotine solution to simulate the smoke of a real cigarette. The device mimics the entire process of smoking and enables the user to give up tobacco in a safe and effective manner. You get the nicotine your body craves and since you don’t burn any tobacco, you avoid the carcinogens and toxins of tobacco cigarettes.

The nicotine cartridge comes in a wide range of strengths, which allows you to slowly reduce the amount of nicotine you are getting with your Electronic Cigarette.

By simply changing to a milder strength of nicotine cartridge every few weeks, you can wean yourself off of nicotine completely. You can even continue to enjoy your Electronic Cigarette with a nicotine free cartridge, if you wish to continue to use the device after you are no longer consuming nicotine.

There is another major benefit to the Electronic Cigarette

With more and more cities banning smoking in public places, you can still use your Electronic Cigarette when you are out in the world.  As summer rapidly approaches, you can enjoy your Electronic Cigarette at the beach or when you go for a stroll in the park. You won’t have to suffer through hours of misery, waiting anxiously for the day to end, so you can go home and smoke. You won’t have to walk a mile from the beach to the parking area and sit in a hot car with the windows rolled up, just to have a cigarette. With the Electronic Cigarette, you can fully enjoy you family outings in peace this summer.

The time to quit smoking is now

You have nothing to lose and a lifetime of improved health to gain. With the Electronic Cigarette, you can quit smoking tobacco without the suffering and discomfort many of us have experienced previously.

The Temptation of Just One Cigarette

One more cigaretteSome people wonder what happens when a cigarette smoker makes the decision to take up vaping, the use of e cigarettes instead of tobacco cigarettes. It’s a good question that can bring many different responses from any group of e cigarette users. Vaping is seen as a great alternative to smoking, and it provides some unique advantages that define the experience and make it truly enjoyable. One of those experiences is the ability to control nicotine consumption by alternating cartridges filled with higher or lower percentages of liquid nicotine. An e cigarette user can gradually reduce the quantity of nicotine she is inhaling if her goal is to eliminate the use of electronic cigarettes eventually as well. Meaning, she used them as a means to stop smoking tobacco, to gradually reduce her body’s craving for nicotine and to move in the direction of quitting e cigarette use altogether as well.

This is not a picture of your typical e cigarette user, however…

Reducing nicotine to zero and continuing vaping is certainly a possibility, but it’s not reality for most dedicated vapers. They love their e cigarettes and have no intention of quitting. Their goal was to quit smoking cigarettes and for the most part they are successful in doing so. Many vapers report problems when they decide to smoke a tobacco cigarette again. This often happens when they are socializing with smokers and casually ask to borrow “just one cigarette…” Despite their sincere fondness for vaping and all its many advantages over tobacco smoking, the social factor is a strong pull into an old habit. Long-time users caution new vapers to keep their e cigarette refills handy to avoid a tobacco crisis. They acknowledge that it only takes one cigarette to slip back into the habit of smoking. Oh, and keep those batteries charged as well. That’s one aspect of vaping a user always has to keep in mind, and has to plan ahead before going out where it’s not convenient to plug in an electronic cigarette charger. Armed with a great little e cigarette model, a spare cartridge and a fully-charged battery, no vaper has to abandon her smokeless cigarette for the hazards of tobacco when she’s out on the town.

Lets Count How Many Ways The E Cigarette Helps You Quit Smoking

Let Me Count the Ways The E Cigarette Can Help You Quit Smoking Regular Cigarettes

cigarette

Everyone knows that smoking cigarettes can be harmful. We have all heard about the many risks of diseases and even death from smoking. We know how it affects us in our everyday life; from the smell of tobacco on our clothes to the shortness of breath smokers often experience from simple acts like climbing stairs. Smoking seriously annoys non-smokers, causes potential health hazards from second hand smoke and costs smokers thousands of dollars a year. Yet people continue to smoke and most attempts to quit end in failure.

Fortunately things have improved in recent years and smokers have been given a great new tool to help them quit called the electronic cigarette.

This remarkable device was invented in China in 2003 and since then it has spread far and wide, bringing new hope to those desiring to quit smoking. The concept is simple. The e cigarette allows smokers to get their needed dose of nicotine without burning tobacco. Since it is the burning of the tobacco that creates the dangerous by-products from smoking, the smokeless cigarette eliminates most, if not all, of the risk while preventing nicotine withdrawal.

The electronic cigarette is a two part device that actually looks and functions much like a real cigarette, albeit without tobacco and the many of the dangers of smoking.

The main section is a metal tube that corresponds to the part of the cigarette that contains the tobacco. Enclosed in the main section is a battery, a microchip and a heating element. The second part of the electronic cigarette, the nicotine cartridge, corresponds to the filter of a cigarette and it is in this replaceable cartridge that the all-important nicotine solution is found. When the user draws on the electronic cigarette, the battery vaporizes the nicotine solution and the user inhales water vapour with a small, measured dose of nicotine. They get the sensation of inhaling without the harmful tars and carcinogens found in tobacco cigarettes. Each nicotine cartridge is the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes and when it is used up, you simply replace it with a fresh cartridge. To add to the sense of realism, the smokeless cigarette even lights up an LED at the tip as the user inhales to mimic the “cherry” at the tip of a tobacco cigarette.

I was able to use the electronic cigarette over an 8 week period to quit smoking and eventually completely wean myself off my nicotine addiction. The disposable nicotine cartridges come in different strengths and every 2 weeks I reduced the strength of the cartridge by 25%. After 8 weeks, I switched to a nicotine free cartridge that allowed me to enjoy the ritual of smoking without taking in any nicotine at all. I experienced no withdrawal and found myself free of my nicotine addiction after 40 years of smoking. While I do believe my motivation was strong and that certainly helped me to be successful, I am convinced that the electronic cigarette made it possible for me to quit smoking. Other than several nights of sleeping more than usual, I had no other side effects after I stopped using the nicotine cartridges with my e cigarette. After a few more weeks using nicotine free cartridges, I decided to give up my electronic cigarette for good and it has been smooth sailing ever since.

The best part of this journey has been the many positive changes I experienced by quitting smoking using the electronic cigarette. As I said, let me count the ways.

1. No longer endangering my health by smoking tobacco.

2. Not creating second hand smoke or dealing with the complaints of non-smokers.

3. No longer smelling like a walking ashtray.

4. Not having to worry about falling asleep while smoking and setting myself or the house on fire.

5. No more shortness of breath from minor physical exertion like making a bed.

6. Improved health and a sense of overall wellbeing.

7. Saving over $3000 dollars a year by not buying cigarettes.

8. Able to sit comfortably through an entire movie or plane flight without pulling out my hair from nicotine withdrawal.

8. Able to kiss my significant other without her going “Yuck, tobacco breath!”

9. Able to actually taste my food again.

10. Sleeping better and not waking in the middle of the night for a cigarette.

11. Starting to engage in sports again. Jogging and riding a bike is now possible without becoming out of breath in a minute flat.

12. Able to actually smell things like flowers and my lover’s perfume. I won’t get caught again saying her perfume smells great to find out she wasn’t wearing any and I failed the test.

These are just a few of the ways my life has improved since I quit smoking using the electronic cigarette. Of course, time will tell and hopefully I will still be a non-smoker a year or 10 years from now. I expect my health to continue to improve and it sure is nice to be able to kiss my woman friend without her telling me to go brush my teeth and gargle first. I honestly believe I never would have been able to quit without the electronic cigarette. If you are thinking about quitting smoking, I suggest you strongly consider using the electronic cigarette to help you become a future non-smoker. Maybe you will even end up saving a few thousand dollars and will be able to buy a brand new computer like the one I am typing this article on. Oh and by the way, the girl friend got a new laptop out of the deal too, you can save so much money with an e cigarette.

Part 6 The Series of Quitting With The E Cigarette The Easy Way

Today is a big day and my first real test in my attempt to quit smoking using an e cigarette. Today I plan to reduce the strength of the nicotine cartridges used in my e cigarette in order to reduce the amount of nicotine i am taking into my system. To be successful, I will have to follow certain guidelines. Obviously, I can not supplement my e cigarette with tobacco cigarettes to get more nicotine. Perhaps even more importantly, I must use the e cigarette at the same rate as when I was using the stronger nicotine cartridges. If I start to use it more than i was with the full strength cartridges, I will end up with just as much nicotine in my system. This will not help my goal to eventually be nicotine free.

Getting My E Cigarette Cartridges Was Alot Harder Than I Thought

With my goals in mind, I went to my local mall to buy a new supply of nicotine cartridges and I must say that i was a tad disappointed. I had envisioned a full line of cartridges of varying strengths designed to help me gradually taper off of nicotine. What I found instead was that there are only 3 strengths that are measured with a number system designed by the supplier. The nicotine cartridges come in strengths of 22, 11 and 5.5. While i think i can continue to achieve my goals using just 3 strengths, I would be much happier to see the cartridges come in a greater variety of strengths. This would allow me to experience much less of a jolt to my system as I reduce my nicotine intake. Certainly reducing my nicotine intake in 5 or 6 stages instead of 3 would be a lot less stressful.

I mentioned my concerns to the salesperson and he responded by telling me I could buy bottles of liquid nicotine. If I bought one bottle of 22 strength and one bottle of 11 strength, I could mix them together and create my own version of 16.5 strength. While the idea is tempting, I feel the machine made, precisely measured cartridges are the way to go. When you use the liquid nicotine, you use an eyedropper to put a certain number of drops in the filter end. This method is subject to human error and is not as accurate as the cartridges. One can end up accidentally using too many drops of liquid nicotine and have no idea of how much nicotine they are really getting with each drag. I experienced this first hand when I tried out the e cigarette before i bought it several weeks ago. The salesperson accidentally added too many drops of liquid nicotine and when I took my first drag, I actually got dizzy. As a result, I am a firm believer in the use of the cartridges as opposed to liquid nicotine.

I bought a month’s supply of 11 strength cartridges and made my way home. I decided to wait until i was in calmer surroundings than a shopping mall to try the new, milder nicotine cartridge for the first time. When I finally took a drag with the 11 strength cartridge, I immediately noticed a difference. Basically the weaker strength cartridges are like smoking a mild brand as opposed to a full strength brand of tobacco cigarette. This means until I get used to using the weaker nicotine cartridges, I will have to stay focused and pay a bit more attention to how much i use my e cigarette. I will have to be on guard against over using it to try to get more nicotine into my system. I will continue with my plan to wean myself off of the e cigarette in stages and i will achieve my goals.

How to Stop Smoking Part 2: Stop Smoking Tools to Help you Succeed!

Author: Michael Westbrook Stop Smoking

You can stop smoking! Welcome back to your detailed quit smoking plan, and congratulations on your decision to stop smoking. If you are seeing the second part of this series without having seen the first, you may want to find it.

Full Day 1

Since you were able to excrete most of the nicotine in your body already, your physical craving is significantly less severe than it would have been if you had smoked right before having gone to bed. Your actual ‘habit’ of smoking in the morning, though, is another story. You may find yourself reaching for cigarettes automatically only to remember that this is the first day of the rest of your life not smoking!

If it’s a weekend and you have no prior commitments: Lethargy is a common symptom when you first quit smoking. Feel free to stay in bed! If you really have nothing to do, you’re just begging for self destructive idle time, anyway. You have the right to baby yourself when you’re sick, and to stop smoking is to deal with a life threatening illness from which you owe it to yourself to claim your freedom! If it’s within your power in the first 24-48 hours, take time to recover!

If you have to go to work: In your process of telling your co-workers of your plans to quit smoking you will have been able to identify the non-smokers who are encouraging you to stop smoking for good. Find them at breaks and lunch, and adopt their non-smoking habits. When break time comes, keep your affirmations strong by changing – yet still acknowledging – the proclamation your desire to have a cigarette. Say out loud, “I am having a temporary craving that will pass;” or something along those lines…Never, “I want a cigarette,” or “I need to smoke,” or any other self defeating affirmation.

Your stress level (obviously) is likely to be high on your first day after you stop smoking, so try to be extra mindful of the way you interact with those around you.

Around the hour you quit on the previous day, you can expect the corresponding time frame to deliver you a serious rush of anxiety and tension. This could only last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, but the most likely scenario is that it may continue for a couple days. It will pass! You do not have to smoke. Taking measures with a natural stop smoking treatment,  or another smoking cessation aid will help make these symptoms much less severe.

Beware: If you smoke at this critical juncture, you could lose all willingness to even try to quit smoking for weeks, months, or even years! The disease of nicotine is cunning, baffling, and powerful; and it will go to great lengths to prevent you from giving up tobacco. If you’ve made it this far, hold on; because it WILL get easier.

During your normal every day actions during which you used to smoke like drinking, talking on the telephone, or flipping through channels with the remote; start using your ex-smoking hand for these activities so it’s not sitting there doing nothing while your other hand is completing all the work. This may sound insignificant, but it’s actually a quite effective tool in the battle against smoking addiction.

Day 2

Argh! (No, seriously) You are all but guaranteed to be going crazy with fiend for a cigarette. While the actual cravings don’t last long, your nerves are going through a restoration process that is a natural part of nicotine withdrawals; which means that – even when you’re not wanting to smoke necessarily – you are just in a state of discontentment and aggravation because of the discomfort and shortness of temper caused by the depletion of dopamine, endorphins and other naturally produced chemicals that smoking took over for your body.

Your brain, nerves, lungs, and every other organ in your body that was affected by smoking (there are many) are all learning – just as you are – to adjust to life without cigarettes. They will heal, but the process is not comfortable. Do not let it be your reason to give in. You can stop smoking!

Day 3

Generally, the feelings of anxiety are still somewhat strong, and they may or may not be starting to disappear. Hopefully, you are still carrying around your list of your reasons not to smoke to which you need to refer every time you are thinking about lending the power back to your nicotine addiction. You are at the most stressful part of your journey, and everything will start to get easier from here, so stay strong and don’t give up!

Day 4

Finally, things are starting to return to normal. Your body will begin to regulate its production of vital mood stabilizing chemicals that it once produced all on its own before nicotine interrupted the process, and your coping abilities should be starting to bear a more civilized nature. Your appetite will be out of control. Allow yourself to indulge, but don’t go overboard and remember about the healthful snacking!

Day 5

Personally, this day for me has historically been rough. It’s a type of comfort zone in which you are in grave danger of relapse. Do not mosey on over to a smoking co-worker or make a sly plan in the morning to meet up with a friend who smokes for lunch or another affair, either! Again…Cunning, baffling, and powerful! Don’t let your disease fool you!

Day 6

Hopefully, at this point of the game you are adjusting nicely to life without cigarettes. Your senses have possibly returned to a degree you hadn’t even realized was possible; and your lungs are definitely feeling better. Your cough, however, may have been getting increasingly worse at this point. That’s normal, and it could last for the next few weeks. You may be able to minimize the side effects with a homeopathic stop smoking treatment.

Day 7

Congratulations! This is a huge milestone in your journey! Today is the day that your brain finishes the process of creating new habits! Everything you do will get easier and easier from here on out! You’re not out of the woods, yet, though, because your disease is still at work trying to convince you to start smoking again. Be aware of its attempts throughout the day to convince you that you can have just one cigarette or even one drag…You can’t!

Even if you are able to stop with one drag or one smoke the first time, that will give you permission for the next time; then that will give you permission to smoke again until you’ve increased your level of smoking to that which is just a bit more cigarettes in a day than you were smoking before you quit. Some of the tricks your smoking addiction will try to play on you include:

  • Going to the smoking section at work
  • Making plans with a friend or family member who smokes
  • Engaging in behaviors that are conducive to smoking (going to bars, drinking excessively, etc.)
  • Encouraging you to stop a complete stranger you see smoking outside as you’re leaving the supermarket or eating establishment to ask for a cigarette.

2nd Week

Stay vigilant in your guard against your disease, and start enjoying life without smoking. You will quickly realize how much money you’re saving. Many smokers like to reward themselves with a teeth whitening kit or a special shopping spree with the money they are no longer spending on cigarettes. You deserve it! You’ve accomplished something very difficult that will undoubtedly add years onto your life.

Remember that your nicotine addiction is a powerful disease that is always at work. It is in the back of your mind strength training and getting stronger behind your back. Stay aware of the dangers that await you around every corner. You are only one drag away from a relapse that could claim your life. You CAN quit smoking! Make the decision to stop smoking today!
