My friend has been smoking for 8 years, and quitting is so hard for her. Does this electronic cigarette really work? What does it taste like? Is it worth the money?
Answer:
An electronic cigarette let's you quit tobacco cigarettes, tar, and 1000s of carcinogens. But you would continue to be addicted to the habit and the nicotine.
You can potentially quit nicotine as well by using electronic cigarettes. One option is to gradually lower the level of nicotine in your cartridges to become nicotine free.
The other option is to smoke electronic cigarettes with zero nicotine cartridges while applying nicotine patches. That way you separate addiction and habit.
Here you can read about the experience of some real smokers that use ecigs to "quit":

Well in theory. It is less harmful, and more "effective" to society than actual cigarettes. but you see, then people would go for electronic cigarettes, rather than the real stuff. so yeah it DEFFINATELY will help you quit smoking the real, and harmful stuff. but you might then just divert to the electronic cigarettes. This still is a FAR better outcome than smoking harmful cigarettes.
A friend of mine bought one last week and I tried it myself. I don't believe it can help you quit because you fill it with a liquid nicotine solution and it delivers it to your lungs when you inhale the vapors. It tastes roughly like a real cigarette and it definitely gives you the "feel" of smoking a real one (except no ash). My friend said he bought it cause it doesn't emit the tars and particulate matter that science calls "second hand smoke" so it is supposed to be environmentally friendly.
Well i know that there is that first person is hating but he/or she may not have bought the right type of cigarette. I know when i first started buying electronic cigarettes i had to go through four different brands to find the right one. i was a smoker for more years than you friend and i haven't had a real cigarette in over 8 months. I tried greensmoke and vapor smoke and some others and the one that works best for me were blu cigs. These electric cigarettes have a blu tip and they are very reasonable. Try them if you like but that is my story.
