Most smokers keep their pack/day habit when transitioning to the e-cigs and puff on them what they feel is an equivalent amount of time that they would normally spend smoking. They're allegedly designed to be puffed on just a few times per day and if you keep the volume behaviors of the past, you're taking in an enormous amount of whatever chemicals they put in them and those chemicals are bypassing your lungs but going directly to your heart. He tells people that use them often that the better option is probably to stick with the traditional cigs: you're either going to have a generally known damage to your lungs or a widely unknown damage to your heart.
I'm hoping to stop completely with the E-cig within the next few weeks. I've noticed, at times, that I'll take multiple puffs from it. Most of the day though is only a puff here and there. It is getting better as days go by and hopefully won't need it in a few weeks.

I know and trust me, I appreciate you all looking out! :wink:
I've seen it happen like that with others.
I like the senses I'm getting back. I already feel like I can breath so much better. I'm never picking another one of those up again. I'm enjoying being smoke free, just all around feel so much better.
Once this phase is over then it's time to move onto getting my body back in shape.

Going to find out this coming Monday when she goes in to see him again.
He told her he didn't know much about Chantix so he was going to research in to it an discuss options on her next visit.

Thanks HD!
She was a little moody the first few days. :lol:
She ended up using one of my ecigs. She still uses it from time to time. I'm currently going down with the miligrams of nicotine. Started at 18mg and am currently at 12mg. Next time I go to get more liquid I will be going to a lower dosage.
