Tried patches, lozenges, sprays, inhilators etc - but none of them gave me a long-term solution. So I looked into e-cigs. There are absolutely masses on the market.

I have quite a few, but (from my personal experience) my absolute favourite is the Intellicig. The e-liquid that you drop into the filter cartridge is so pure, that it was actually on television the other morning being endorsed by a Doctor. He said that say 'ordinary' cigarettes measure 100 out of 100 (badness-wise), and nicotine patches etc measure 1 out of 100 - these e-cigs measure 2 out of 100. What a brilliant invention.

I have never looked back. They are wonderful. All I would say is - be very, very careful where you buy your top-up e-liquid and refill cartridges from. I know there have been a lot of issues regarding the purity of imports from China (again!!). The US and UK both have very stingent rules - but as ever, it's best to buy from a reputable breeder!!!

So it's worked for me for over a year now - all I would add is that it's best to have a few of them as they do need re-charging. I'll try to find the links to the stuff I was going on about!! Good luck to him! Sally x

I am so proud of you for quitting this horrible habit. I know how hard it must have been for you. My husband bought his at a corner store. I can't remember the brand name. I would really appreciate it if you could find the link. It would be most helpful. I'll show him your post.

I replied to another post about the e-cig having a toxic chemical that is used in anti-freerze. I'm just wondering how many chemicals it actually does have. Maybe it just depends on the manufacturer???

I know actual cigarettes have hundreds of toxic substances in them, so how much harm can an e-cig be to one's body if it has some toxic chemicals in it.
