theambulancereview Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Who's got one? What do you think of it? What kind do you have? I want to try this to ease off on the real thing because I'm not man enough to give it the boot yet, but I'm hoping this will REALLY help. Thoughts?

partysmasher Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 A friend of mine quit using one of these, must have been five months or so now... Been considering getting one myself since he told me about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenmittons Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hit/miss. I've known a few people who tried and both said "fuck it" after awhile. Its great to kill the craving but if you're more into the ritual of smoking as a whole (the lighting, ashing, packing, etc) it's really kind of sad and unfulfilling. I would get one just to smoke inside but I don't really have the habit to support that kind of purchase. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mygreatdevastator Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I have never known anyone to actually use these things, just seen the assholes who walk around the mall that are trying to sell them. That being said, I have a prescription for Chantix I am starting tomorrow, and my actual quit date is a week from tomorrow. I am very nervous/excited to start dropping vices.

eddieruckus Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 these arent to make you quit, they are to only give you the nicotine and not the other shit in the smoke, again these do not help you quit, you are still addicted to the nicotine and the routine of smoking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to use the filters to step down from 8 mg to eventually 0 mg of nicotine. However, the routine of doing it is going to be my biggest obstacle. I sing a lot and have been smoking close to a pack a day for 2 years. I would love to go cold turkey, but I'm seriously not man enough to do it.

icecream Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 you could try the patch that helped me quit gradually. I mean I felt pretty damn pathetic resorting to a patch after only smoking for 6 years but I had tried to quit numerous times and cutting down wasn't happening. The way I see it you might spend a $100+ over the time it takes to quit but obviously well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mygreatdevastator Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The way I see it you might spend a $100+ over the time it takes to quit but obviously well worth it. That's where I'm at. The Chantix is ridiculous, gives you crazy dreams and potential depression, but I'd go through it to simply quit. Smokes are going to be $11 a pack in Mass soon.

eddieruckus Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 the gum works realllllly well, but just gets you addicted to the gum, what I did was start on full pieces of gum, then I would break them in half, then thirds, then quarters with a knife, I would mix it with other cheap gum so it was still a big piece... this worked for me and I quit for over a year and felt great, went back to smoking because I thought I could have 1 smoke wihile I was drunk and obviously with any type of drug addiction, that usually doesnt work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eriathomas Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I've smoked on and off for 6 years, and finally decided to try to stop for good earlier in the week. We just switched to fire-safe cigarettes here and they taste horrible, don't smoke the same, and give me headaches. I love smoking, and it takes the edge off my anxiety for a bit, but it also ways heavy on my hypochondria, so time to quit before I go bad thinking I have cancer every time I cough.

theambulancereview Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Ok. so I just got my "green smoke" electric cigarette in the mail today, not sure how I REALLY feel about it yet, but I think it might help me out in cutting down and eventually quitting smoking. I'll be giving it a shot in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I'm going on a month and a week or two now. Cold Turkey. I just saw cigarettes are $10 a pack. Christ. You have to want it. I would smoke a pack a day. I started thinking about quitting and would cut one or two out here and there. Got to the point I was smoking maybe 3-4 a day and when the last one was done I just stopped. I made deals with myself plenty of times that always led to failure. I love smoking and if they ever create a cigarette that doesnt kill you Ill be first in line. Until then I'm much happier and feel way better not smoking. I smell smoke and it makes me ill. The first month is hard but it's really the first 2 weeks that are the worst. After that it is all just breaking habits. If you are a drinker and arent willing to stop drinking for a short time to help you quit smoking then you wont ever quit. I applaud anyone willing to give this a serious shot.

Fartcat Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I like real cigarettes that give you a kick in the morning and keep you going all day. If cancer or heart disease try to kill me I will just fucking beat them up. Plus, smoking gives you +5 Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 That "green smoke" looks like it's about 10 feet long. Fucking awkward. I just picked up a Blu and it's on the way in the mail right now. I know a lot of people who have quite using one and it intrigues me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the record: nothing like a fucking cigarette. But the taste of the menthol cartridges that I got with this Green Smoke are really, really nice I think. I haven't had a REAL cigarette in 2 days now, and I feel like I'm dying for one, but this thing is kinda cool. "Smoking" in the house for the first time.
