Quit Smoking Without Quitting Smoking

Quitting smoking is not easy. To quote anyone with good sense, "It’s hard." Oh, sure, the world is filled with non-smokers who act like Bible thumpers out to change the world to their way of doing things. Bible thumpers and those who are former smokers are two examples of the most intolerant people on earth.

Can you imagine a drug treatment program where the therapist stares at you and says, "You should quit. I did. And if I can do it, anybody can." Or, perhaps the Nancy Reagan approach to drugs: look at that cigarette and just say NO.

There is a reason behind the fact that most people who try to quit smoking fail. It’s harder to quit smoking than for a teenage boy to give up sexual fantasies. The American Cancer Society says that 40% of smokers try to quit each year but only 4% to 7% succeed.

An average cigarette contains about 4,000 different chemicals, the most well known being nicotine. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health issued a report in 2006 that showed cigarette manufacturers have been increasing the amount of nicotine in cigarettes, thus making them even more addictive. The average increase between 1999 and 2004 was 10%. The Kool brand increased by 20%.

Nicotine, however, is not the only problem when it comes to quitting. A lot of those other chemicals help get nicotine into the blood stream faster which, of course, produces a quick "happy" feeling. One failing of nicotine patches and nicotine gum is that they don’t address the actual habit of smoking. Habits include a cigarette first thing in the morning or a cigarette with a cup of coffee or a cigarette with a beer or a cigarette following a meal. Smokers have geared themselves to smoking as part of a daily ritual.

There is, however, a solution. And it’s a solution that I began a few weeks ago.

How To Stop Smoking – Without Quitting Smoking

Let me tell you about an electric cigarette. Yeah, I know. That sounds funny, doesn’t it? My doctor laughed when I told him about it. He’d never heard of such a thing. A lot of people have heard about them, though. And there are several different kinds. That’s one reason I’m writing this. There are four-part, three-part and two-part electric cigarettes. Go for the two-part. As hard as it is to quit smoking, you want to go for the simple method and a two-part electric cigarette is simpler than the others.

A two-part electric cigarette contains a nicotine flavor capsule that looks like a cigarette filter and a lithium battery that looks like the other part of a cigarette. Flavors include tobacco, menthol, vanilla, etc. The flavor capsules also allow you to choose the amount of nicotine you need. 16 mg is available. So are 8 mg, 6 mg, 4 mg, and 0 mg. See how you can create your own step down program to get off the nicotine habit – if you want to!

You see, the nicotine is delivered in a water vapor that is astoundingly like cigarette smoke, except that the other 4,000 chemicals are missing. That’s right. All the cancer-causing stuff is gone. All the bad health stuff is gone. So you really don’t have to really quit smoking. Just quit smoking those things that are bad for you. No tar. No ash. No carbon monoxide.

Part two of this wonderful story is cost. Electric cigarettes cost a lot less than regular cigarettes. Of course, your initial cost will include a battery charger and a couple of batteries in addition to the flavor capsules. After that, the capsules are like buying a carton of cigarettes for around $15.00. Down the street at the Tobacco Discount store, cartons run nearly $50 for premium and $39 for generic brand.

So, let’s see what we have here. The electric cigarette is less expensive than real cigarettes. It has no tar, no carbon monoxide, and no cancer-causing additives, but it does allow you to get a nicotine fix. The different nicotine levels allow you to wean off the addictive drug if you want to. It sort of sounds like a win-win situation to me, and that’s why I signed up. That’s why I’m smoking an electric cigarette now.

My wife, who is allergic to smoke, has been the ultimate test. I have smoked on the sofa while sitting beside her. I have smoked in the car with her sitting beside me. She is even more amazed than I am. She can smell it, she can see the "smoke" – and it doesn’t affect her at all.
