I finally quit smoking for good in 2010 and haven't smoked a cigarette since. How? Through the electronic cigarette, a revolutionary new device that turns raw nicotine into a harmless water vapor that contains no carcinogenic chemicals.

How i quit smoking for good
1. How I Quit Smoking For Good
Guess what. I don't smoke anymore. I haven't had a cigarette in 6 months and I feel great.
Unfortunately, there's a catch. I don't smoke tobacco cigarettes, but I do some e-cigarettes.
So I started smoking back when I was 16. As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I was one of
those idiots who started smoking to look/be cool. Unfortunately, it quickly turned from a
"cool" activity to a full-time habit that, over the years, has cost me a lot of money and a lot of
my health.
I've tried quitting smoking before. In fact, I got off it back in 2002, but then I met my ex and,
well, she stressed me out so much that I was back to smoking in no time. There's nothing
like a sour relationship to help bring out the chain in any smoker, if you get my drift.
Regardless, over the years, I tried other methods. Patches itched too much! And I'd end up
getting chest pains because I'd smoke cigarettes while on the patch <-- bad idea. I also tried
the gum, but it just tasted nasty, pint blank. Nothing worked. NOTHING.
Then I discovered Green Smoke. It's an electronic cigarette. So like it's this device that
takes raw nicotine -- no tobacco -- and turns it into this "water vapor" that tastes however you
want it to taste. I like mind to taste like chocolate, but it's whatever.
Regardless, it didn't work at first. I just wasn't serious about quitting smoking. This was in
2010. I got it, tried it and threw it away. I just wasn't feeling it.
But then my health started to get worse. I was getting sicker more often. I was feeling
fatigued all the time. And the coughs just got on my nerves. So I tried again.
This time, it worked!
The difference came because of my attitude. The electronic cigarette is a great quit smoking
option, but you have to be serious about it. If you're not serious, you're not going to make it.
The good news is that there are so many reasons to be serious about it.
It tastes good.
It won't make you cough.
It won't harm your lungs.
It won't make you smell bad.
It won't create second hand smoke.
It won't leave ashes all over the place.
I could go on and on. The best part is that I can run now! I started running in 2011 and I
believe that's what contributed to my health problems. Running 12 miles a week as a smoker
is incredibly harm and leaves you absolutely exhausted.
As the weeks passed by on the electronic cigarette, my stamina started returning. It's still not
fully back -- I've been smoking for decades -- but I'll tell you this: running is so much easier
now than it was in the past. I'm absolutely serious.
Here's how it works. You buy something called a starter kit. It has an electronic cigarette
battery, an electronic cigarette cartridge and a charger. The cartridge is like your cigarette
pack. It contains the nicotine. And you have to buy them every few weeks.
2. Here's the difference. A pack costs what... $5 or $6? Cartridges cost anywhere from $1.50 to
$2.50, depending on if you buy them in bulk or not. Do you realize how much of a savings
that amounts to?
Plus, when you smoke an e-cig, you don't have to KEEP smoking it. It doesn't burn like a
cigarette. You just puff it, get your fix and then chill out. I take one puff every 15 minutes. My
carts last 3 days. Think about that.
Anyway. It's just a thought, but maybe you should consider trying electronic cigarettes to. If
you'd like more information, check out my website http://SmokeWithoutFear.com. If you sign
up for my newsletter, I'll regularly send you promotional codes. E-cigarette manufacturers
love to do promos, especially around the holidays. So why pay full price when you can pay
only 80%?
Good luck and I hope I got you thinking about making a serious effort at quitting smoking!!!
