I am a 28 year smoker, have tried every which way to quit and noting has stuck long term. 35 days ago I purchased my first electronic ciggy and it was the BEST decision I have ever made. I love my eciggy and quitting this time is so less painful.
If you decide to give it a try, be sure to do some research before you purchase one, there are so many out there. This website:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ is so full of information and helpful people.
Best of luck to you!
