Why I Use Electronic Cigarettes??When I Already Quit Smoking I started using ecigarettes in 2013, about five years after quitting smoking. I was a heavy smoker for 35 years; started smoking when I was 15, and I enjoyed it. I just enjoyed it. To me it relaxed me. It was a way to de-stress. I just enjoyed smoking. I always liked the old saying, ??Oh, it??s easy to quit. I??ve done it several times.?? So I had quit a few times. Twice I used the Waterpik filters that you stick on the end of your cigarettes and it weans the nicotine out. I??d also tried the patch, cold turkey, you name it, I tried everything. What finally worked for me to quit smoking was Chantix, because Chantix targets a receptor in the brain that exacerbates the physical addiction, the chemical addiction to the nicotine. But there??s a lot more involved than just that. My brother quit just by chewing a lot of gum and he was able to psychologically force himself into quitting. But that didn??t work for me. No matter what I tried or what people said or how many gross pictures they sent me or whatever, I didn??t care. I liked to smoke. So when I started having medical issues that forced me to quit ?? I had a horrendous cough; you might have thought I had tuberculosis. I couldn??t even take a breath without coughing. And it was just horrible. It scared me. Also, I was getting dental implants because smoking actually helped to ruin my teeth. So now I have really pretty teeth ?? bought, paid for and glued in. But anyway, the dentist would not give me implants unless I quit smoking. So it was kind of like a no-brainer. Well, do I keep on smoking and go around toothless or do I quit smoking. So I was in a position where I was literally forced to quit smoking. And I had an attitude about it. I didn??t want to quit. I was just not ready. So I went through a lot of mental crap in order to quit. I completely rearranged my routine. There were a lot of things that I automatically, psychologically associated to smoking, like talking on the phone, right after eating, etc. The Chantix helped with the chemical addiction because it targets the brain receptors, so that part of it was not difficult initially. And then I changed my routine so different things I did weren??t associated with smoking anymore. That worked for five years, but not without consequences. The longer I went without smoking, the worse I got, as far anxiety, moodiness and just being on edge all the time. So in 2013, my husband started bringing home disposable ecigarettes and they really helped! A lot of former smokers will tell you that they went back to smoking a few times before quitting for good. And that??s me. I really wanted to start smoking again, but I knew that with the coughing and other medical conditions, I CAN??T start smoking again. That??s why electronic cigarettes are a major life-saving alternative to smoking again! Without them, I know I’d have to increase my anxiety medications to keep from starting to smoke tobacco cigarettes again. As a former 35-year heavy smoker, I know how difficult it is to quit. I??ve wanted to ??cheat? so many times since I quit in 2008, and using eCigs seriously keeps me from picking up another cigarette, which would be very hazardous to my health. And now I have a passion for helping smokers quit and for finding ways to help former smokers keep from going back – by using an ecigarette that works for them. http://smokerslogicegics.com
