I used the Green Smoke line and it got me off cigarettes for 8 months. Like an IDIOT I had a few cigs out one night and well, I went back.

Dumbest thing I ever did was start smoking.

Ya I wish I had never started myself. Young and dumb at 16, what can ya do.

You can go back to vaping!! That's why now I just do a really low nic. 3 nic to quell any cravings but not a ton of it. Other times I use 0 nic for the habit it self.

That's what I have the hardest time with as well, drinking.

Just bring an ecig instead.

Yeah, maybe this fall. Have to do the vape because the damn nicotine gum makes my teeth super sensitive.

All of mine have nicotine except the 0 nic I offer. What is good about this is it can help you quit and you can tapper down on the nic levels slowly. For instance you can chose between 0 nic, 3 nic, 6 nic, 12 nic, 18 nic and 24 nic.....the higher the number the stronger or more nicotine there is in the juice. There is not tar, smoke, carcinogens, and a lot of the other bad things you get from smoking a cigarette. I am not saying that it is safe but if it's better than smoking IMHO. I AM NOT SAYING THAT BECAUSE I OWN A JUICE COMAPNY. I actually never intended getting into the business. I happened to start making my own and had more and more and more people wanting to buy my juice so I said hell I might as well sell the juice. Hence how the company was formed.

I was a smoker for 18 years and had tried quitting several times but no matter what I tried it didn't work. This worked awesome for me as it has for several others I know. Not saying it will work for everyone but it's worth a shot.
You didn't quit, you just got hooked on something else. I smoked for 35 years, when you are truly ready to quit, the best is to just stop.

Actually I did. The only reason I vape now is because I own a juice company and have to test and try new juice I develop. For me this is way better than smoking a cigarette or a cigar that I use to have with a drink. There are a lot of days I don't vape and don't crave it like I did with a cigarette.

To each their own.

Sometimes I think people are better off smoking regular cigs... everyone I see using e cigs is always sucking on it all day and night... takin in probably 10x more nicotine than they were with reg tobacco.

Ya, but they're making the terrible choice to put it into THEIR OWN bodies and innocent bystanders aren't being forced to inhale their second hand poison.

Quite a few people I know vaped to quit smoking..... It is very easy to lower the nicotine levels a little at a time until they get to a zero level nicotine juice. After that a lot of them keep vaping just because they like the flavors!

not only that but no tar, carcinogens, carbon dioxide, or the other 5000 chemicals in cigarettes.

Not saying that vaping is safe but several studies have shown its a lot better than smoking.

I would love to read your research about said "poison".

There have been no long term study's that I have been able to find about vaping. If someone is vaping a 0 nicotine juice and there is no combustion I don't see where the "poison" is coming from.

Nicotine is not healthy I agree.... However the combustion of a cigarette is whats REALLY unhealthy.

For someone that is trying to quit smoking vaping is a good choice. That being said they should be respectful of the people around them.

EDIT: I thought you were talking about E-cigs. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
