Enhancing the quality and length of your life by quitting smoking is a worthwhile effort. It is definitely not an easy task, but it can be accomplished with time and patience. To quit smoking successfully, finding out what your options are. Knowing where to go for help is a wise first step. Quitting smoking is the best move that you can make for your health and the health of all of those around you. Just about everyone knows by now that smoking causes diseases that shorten your life or those that may even end it. Diseases such as lung cancer, throat, esophagus, bladder, and kidney, and pancreas cancers are some horrible things caused by smoking for a start. Not to mention some leukemia, stomach, and cervix cancers, and newly added by the Surgeon General is pneumonia. People who smoke are more than three times as likely to die due to heart attack as non smokers. Smoking is a major risk factor for a disease that narrow the blood vessels that transport blood to the limbs and muscles called peripheral vascular disease as well as the disease that causes some strokes.

If that‘s not enough to convince you to stop smoking, let’s look at your appearance. Premature wrinkling of skin, chronic bad breath, discolored fingernails and hair, and an increase risk of macular degeneration a leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Smoking over the age of thirty-five if you are a woman can put you in a high risk group for stroke, heart attack, and blood clots of the legs, low birth weight of babies and miscarriages. But the hopeful portion of this message is that if you decide to quite regardless of how long you’ve smoked or how much, quitting will help you to live longer. In as little as twenty minutes after quitting smoking the heart rate and blood pressure drops and in one to nine months following quitting smoking, circulation in your hands extremities and lung function increases. Shortness of breath decreases and your lungs begin to function properly, cleaning the lungs and removing mucus that causes infection. Fifteen years of non smoking and your risk of heart disease is that of non smoking persons. These benefits can be obtained from quitting smoking even if you are suffering from a smoking related illness already. Smoking is less socially accepted now more than ever. Smoking bans have been placed in just about every workplace in the nation along with airports, public buildings. Even friends may insist that you not smoke in their houses or cars. Some people may even find dating more difficult because of a bad smoking habit. So the social impacts of not smoking will probably change your life for the better if you quit.

If you have a family, that is another great motivation to quit smoking. The main reason is that the secondhand smoke could pose serious health problems for others who do not deserve such things. You should also consider what kind of role model you are being to any small children that you live with, whether they are your own kids, siblings, nieces and nephews, or any other relation. You may be living with kids who look up to you as an authority figure, and if you teach them that smoking is alright you will feel very guilty later in life.

Some of the many new products used to help an individual to stop smoking are really very effective. Counseling services, reading materials, medicines, and patches are all widely available and have produced some amazing results. Educational materials alone may be the best beginning start to an attempt to quit because once you know what kind of damage you are doing to your body the prudent and reasonable person will definitely see that it is the very best thing to do. However, it has been documented and researched that the highest success rates occur when a combination of methods are used simultaneously.

Time after time we have tried to quit smoking, we have tried just about every stop smoking product out there and it just doesn’t work for you. I was like the many people out there that just can’t quit smoking to save my own life. Sure friends and family would offer words of encouragement but to no avail. It wasn’t until I was at a bar that it changed my outlook on trying to quit smoking.

Let me give you a little background on why I think I can’t quit smoking. For me smoking is a social event. I enjoy going out on my break from work and lighting up to hear the new gossip from the co-workers, or being at a party and talking to friends while smoking. It causes me a calming feeling while being around people. To tell you the truth, I’m not much of a people person unless I’m smoking with a group of people, talking about whatever. I also like that nicotine feeling; you know that feeling after you want to kill someone if you don’t get a cigarette soon!! I also think it’s that feeling I have between my fingers and I’m doing something to kill the time as well.

Every time I try to quit smoking, I fail because of my will power. It seems as though I quit and soon as its break time from work, I see my co-workers smoking and I need one. It always seems like when I start to try and quit smoking, it gets harder than last time. I’ve tried the nicotine gum and even the patch. I can tell you that the gum is nasty, if anything the gum just makes me want to quit the gum!! The patch makes me sick and I started to get hives while wearing it. I’ve even tried the psychological approach of cutting cigarettes for every cigarette you smoked and cut back on buying. That didn’t work at all, it just caused me to mooch off others for cigarettes!! Now let me get back to what is working for me.

It started while I was at a restaurant with my wife and I noticed a guy smoking a funny looking cigarette. There was no smoke blowing from it and it looked like vapors. It was enough to get my curiosity to go up to him and ask what it is. He told me it’s an electric cigarette with no tobacco in it. I was wondering how it’s a cigarette without any tobacco, and he said it still has enough nicotine in it but you’re not blowing any smoke, so you can just about smoke them anywhere. So I had to try one of these e-cigarettes and see what the fuss is all about. To my amaze these things are just what I’m looking for to help me quit smoking.

So what are these electric cigarettes?

Electric cigarettes are a new tobacco-free device designed to provide smokers with a nicotine fix without the hassle of second-hand smoke or carcinogens. They are also known as e-smokes, e-cigarettes, and e-cigs. Basically they are Tobacco free and there are many brands and all act the same. They are powered by a battery inside the cigarette that lasts about 2 hours.

How do they work?

Electric cigarettes are shaped like regular cigarettes, but inside hold a small, rechargeable battery, an atomization chamber and replaceable cartridges that contain a mixture of water, propylene glycol (a compound commonly found in cosmetics, food and medicines) and nicotine. As the battery powers up the chamber, moisture goes through and creates a steam effect, much like a smoke machine. When you puff on the device, a red LED light on the tip will light up, in simulation of a real cigarette, but all you exhale is water vapors.

The advantages of Electric cigarettes!!

Well it will give you that Nicotine effect that most of us crave without the harmful tar and carcinogens you get from regular cigarettes. Also, there is no second hand smoke from these so you can smoke them just about anywhere. One of the many Benefits from the Electric cigarettes is the fact that you don’t smell like an ash tray!! I did notice that my clothes have a better smell to them than before. I also noticed that I’m slowly coming off smoking. My love ones have commented that I’ve got color in my face and even asked if I quit smoking.

I really enjoy my electric cigarette, I always get people coming up to me and asking where they could get one too. You will have to check out my signature to head where I get mine but for the cost of traditional cigarettes to these are no comparisons, besides I’m not breathing in anymore of those toxic carcinogens and tar anymore. I also don’t smell like an ash tray and having to go outside to smoke. When you buy an electric cigarette, I suggest you get a starter kit first. It gives you everything you need and they have just about every flavor you can think of, they even have menthol flavor. What are the cigarettes you ask? Well it’s a cartridge and every cartridge comes with about 15 cigarettes. If you get the starter kit they give you something like 4-6 cartridges.

If your thinking about quitting smoking but you can’t just give it up, try this alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes. I think it’s working for me; I don’t give up on going outside and talking to my co-workers or being social with friends at a party. If anything I become the talk of the party or the gossip at work with my electric cigarette. I can breathe easy knowing that I’m not taking in any tar or blowing any second hand smoke at anyone.
