I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn’t seem any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes.
I understand e-cigarettes are supposed to help you quit… but has anyone actually had success with them? Or, is it more like trading one vice for another?
It depends whether you want to stop or not, it’s as simple as that.
E-cigarettes can be a great way to quit smoking, if that’s what you want. If you just switch to an E-cigarette and expect to magically stop smoking, you’re in for disappointment. Nicotine cessation is entirely psychological.
It’s a little bit like that Lap band surgery. You still have to want to lose weight after, otherwise you will blow it open and it will do nothing.
If anyone actually wants to quit smoking I highly suggest the book “Easy way to stop smoking” by Alan Carr.
