How long has the e-cig been working for you, and would you say that it has been somewhat successful?
Your enthusiasm is nice to see.

I'm interested...

I need to Quit but I can not give up the Nicotine, Im under too much stress. Ive been interested in trying the E-ciggs because I will get the Nicotine I need, and get rid of the most harmfull of the Chemicals. Plus I wont smell like Ciggs, Less Wrinkles when Im older. Better for my family and I can do it indoors anytime as it is not really smoking. Then once all the Chemicals are gone for good, I can see about cutting down on the E-Cigg's.

If you are trying to fuse you might want to rethink that statement, as it's wrong. The Nicotine will mess up fusions and the failure rate is significant enough that surgeons want you to quit or they won't do the surgery.

The smoke and tar is messing up your lungs, mouth, etc.. the nicotine will mess up bones, reproductive system, and other organs.

There is really no such thing as the worse chemicals in smoking. It's all harsh.

I've had my E-Cigs for about 6 months now. I use it off and on - the taste is just weird for me. Doctors admit that they 'while still not cool due to nicotine' is far safer than smoking. Another item you might want to consider? "Nicogel" - you put it on your skin like a lotion, and you can go up to 4 hours without smoking. Like the E-Cigs, nicotine is still there, but again all the nasty chemicals from ciggies aren't.

Cath, I didn't know you smoked too?

...I smoke. I really want to stop now. I'm tired of the smell, the cost, the never-ending Fabreeze spraying...just all of it.

I've never mentioned it here very much, not sure why, but it's true and it's time to stop. I know it'll be the hardest thing I'll ever do, but I need to quit for many, many reasons.

Hubby's ready too, so I guess we'll pick a day and do it. Luckily it hasn't messed with my fusions and my PA totally understands as he used to smoke, but he quit and knows how difficult it is.

I might try Chantix. Don't know...

It worked very well for me and several others from the old forum. Some people can't handle it as it has some harsh side effects. Nothing as harsh as the long term effects of smoking though.

You'll find the urge/fight of the addiction actually go away. Smoking just becomes uninteresting and you stop. Doesn't taste so good either.

I think this is a great idea. If there are a few who want to start their quit sooner then others, I don't see it as a problem for them to move ahead with their quit.

I am sure we will often get new people in here who will be behind others in the quit time line. Also ( using my self as an example ) if my quit fails but 2 weeks later I want to try again, I can come here and grab a buddy who I can quit with.

Make sense ?

I guess what I am trying to say I don't think it is logical to think all of us who want to quit will start our quit on the same date or no one else will join later.

Plus those who are thinking of quiting may want to come and see what tools the quiters are using first.

I think this is a GREAT idea - is used more as a buddy system then the whole group at once.

If you all don't agree with me - that's cool too lol

OK e cigs. Are they really expensive?
I make my own cigs as I am a poor house mouse

is that you can buy them with NO nicotine content.

so that is a good thing too, to think about.

yeah, im interested in joining this support, as it is having serious consequences on my health

i would be intwerested to no , HOW many a day you all smoke , if your game /comfortable to say

as i do think the heavier and the long timer smoker has the biggest battle

flower

about 35+ years for me

thats a long time and does make it so much harder, im in the same ball park, not good!!

well angel, i donk think your going to get buckets of people on here to join , as most have allready quit, for health and fusion reasons allready

so by the looks at the mo theres only a handfull of us

ive been very naughty and havnt been using my e-cig as much as i should

so can you come over and zap me with an electrical current every time i light up

flower

I've got a few comments for you on this since I went through it with several others from here. I was also a few peoples quit buddy to help them.

At the end of the day the most successful and easiest method is cold turkey. Sadly it sounds horrible giving up your addiction in such a brutal way. But it is effective and works. My wife did it that way.

Me, I took chemicals to fight chemicals, ie, Chantix. It is one of the most controversial drugs out there. The side effects you need to watch out for if you choose this method. The bigger one is suicidal and violent tendencies. You need a family member or close friend to monitor you and your doctor. I used this method and it worked for me. And yeah, it messes with your head, but so does quitting. So much was the Chantix and how much was quitting? Don't know.

Why are you quitting? Honestly, who cares? Really. As long as you are committed your reasons don't matter.

Now the buddy system. Here is the kicker. Go ahead and setup this chat/pm buddy system. It will fail. Sorry but you're wasting your time. When the urge strikes you need support immediately for the next 5-15 minutes. To get your head somewhere else. No one is going to be here 7x24 to babysit you. And text messages don't work nearly as well as someone to talk too. I did this with several people on here, including myself, and we all quit. We all had each others cell phone numbers and had a deal that we could call anytime we were stuck. Yes that means some late night phone calls. But it helped immensely.

A few relapsed and still smoke. Most staid quit. I still talk to some offline and they are still smoke free. Me too. Almost 3 years now. You can do it!

Oh and PS. That I love it and I can have 1 for dessert. Yeah, forget that, no you can't. Don't ask how I know...

You are a drug addict and nicotine is your poison. You will be the rest of your life. Just like an AA member. 1 is all it takes to end up in trouble again. 1 day at a time. You'll get there.

Graham

I guess thick skin helps in these situations

I don’t know about you guys, but the older I get I love learning more and more. The old saying " knowledge is power" couldn’t be anymore true.
Brenda it will be a PLEASURE having you join our group...Can’t wait to hear from you. I will be posting more information soon. I am just buying some time hoping more will join. If you all have buddies that smoke and want to quit, please tell them to sign up. One of the members made a huge point....we are addicts. We need AA, which I have said for years.
This my new friends is OUR CAA Cigarette AA.
I love you all and wish you many years of life, and AIR. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
Look I just had an 8 hour spinal fusion and disc replacement on Sept 27th 2010. I have had DDD And Fibromyalgia for almost 10 years. I have had failed surgeries, and treatments beyond belief. Pain - Pain - Pain. Pain makes me smoke more!!! I know you all know the pain, it has ruined, well certainly changed my life. If any of you happened to read my “Question for the ladies Thread” you will truly get to know “me”.
On January 18th 2011 was at a red light and was rear ended by a truck in which totaled my Truck, blew out my back, ripped a disc in my neck, and both hands, left arm, elbow, neck and wrist are "greatly " damaged. I am 100% disabled. I am fighting to get disability as we all know stinks! It takes forever. I have had to file bankruptcy, I am losing my home of 8 years, my Mercedes got reprocessed, and my business had to close due to my health. The business was thriving.
So, why have I told this extremely personal information? Well let it be said cigs, have been my best friend throughout all of this crap! If I am ready to end this monkey off my back, I can restfully say so should everyone else. I mean that in no bad way, or to say your issues are any less painful, or that mine are worse. The point is I love the cigs more than sex, I simply want to see my two sons have sons or daughters. I know if I continue this destructive relationship, and If I could curse on this thread at them I would, but Im a lady and wont! I hate them as they are destroying my body. I feel it every day. The time has come. One of my friend said to me after seeing the last year of my life and what I have gone through " It could always be worse". I thought about what she said, and coming from her with MS I know she knows how I feel. I thought man what if the doc told me I had stage 4 lung cancer on top of all this crap. My body is certainly at its weakest and this is when the cancer cells creep up.....and it hit me!
NOW IS THE TIME, I am one strong Italian woman...I can do this for my babies...WE CAN DO THIS! NOW WHO's WITH ME!~!~

First post of information/healthy habits for quitting smoking- #1 ENERGY- Rebuilding a strong Immunity
I hope you are all doing well and you are mentally gearing yourselves up and getting excited for our quit. I believe if we set ourselves and our bodies up for success and prepare our bodies for the very best chances of actually quitting. Before I even set an actual date for us to start as some have mentioned they may want to start now, and you certainly can do your smoking cessation anyway you like. What my intentions are is to get our bodies strong and healthy “before” the quit. There are so many things we can do physically, homeopathically, and mentally that can help us so much more than just another failed attempt. Today’s information is about tips on how to build up our immunity so it is strong and healthy first. I believe you will enjoy today’s information, and I hope you find it helpful.

I want us to prepare as well as we can and use the research and information to rebuild our bodies and immunity up even before we quit, and before we get started. I will be posting a lot of information and help to rebuild what these dirty cancer sticks have destroyed and try to restore. The body is an amazing thing and thank God it will appreciate what we do well for it, even if we have smoked for years.
One aspect of good lung detoxification is a strong immune system
which is essential to your body's internal cleansing mechanisms.
Without a strong immune system your body will struggle to get rid
of the tar and toxins that infest your lungs from those years of
smoking.
I just wanted to offer a few more tips on boosting your immune
system over the next few days that you might find helpful!
Improve Your Digestion to Improve Your Health!
Can you guess the one function of your body that utilizes 75% of
your energy each day?
You might think it is powering your muscles, pumping blood to
your heart, or any number of other functions. But you'd probably
be wrong.

It's digestion!

Imagine that...three quarters of your energy is used to process
food. And this is very important to think about because anything
you can do to take some of that burden off of your digestive
system will free up extra energy that your body can use for other
things...such as immunity.
Although digestion is about what you eat, HOW you eat it is
equally as important.
There are a number of things people unknowingly do to sabotage
their digestion...and therefore their energy. One of the main
things is not chewing their food enough.
When you eat you probably aren't paying too much attention to how
much you chew your food. You probably take large mouthfuls, chew
a few times and then swallow. If you're like most people, the
food you eat is less than 25% broken down when you swallow it.
Do you remember when you were young and your Mother said to chew
your food? It turns out she was right. Our digestive system isn't
designed to function optimally when we swallow our food whole, or
barely broken down.
Sure it can "handle it", but at the expense of your overall
health and energy level. Our body is designed for our teeth to
grind down the food we eat and to mix it with saliva. This liquid
substance is much easier for our digestive system to process.
Most people barely chew their food before they swallow it, which
sends large chunks into their stomach to be digested. Those large
chunks of food are broken down with stomach acid and enzymes. But
the added work of breaking down those larger pieces comes with an
added expense to your system.
It requires more work...and more energy.
Basically this extra work saps energy from other areas in your
body. Your body has to work harder just to keep up.
Think of an assembly line for a minute. If everything is running
smoothly, a certain number of units are produced. Now if you slow
down the assembly line by requiring more manual processes, the
total production will be reduced. Sure things will still come off
the line...but there will be fewer of them, and each one will
have required more work.
One of the best ways to improve your digestion (YOUR assembly
line) is to chew your food more.
And one of the easiest ways to remember to do this is to pick a
number and chew each mouthful of food that many times before you
swallow. Your number could be 20, 35 or 72, it doesn't really
matter.
What DOES matter is that you do this each time you eat until
completely chewing your food becomes a habit. At that point you
can stop counting.
Does this sound way too easy to really do anything? Give it a try
and see what happens. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Until next time, Stay well, and tell yourself everyday at least ten times how much you hate smoking cigarettes and how badly you want to quit. Also get PUMPED up about the post that are to come, and the support that this thread gives. We will be on a journey throughout this. The actual “Quit” date may not be for a month, so that we may prepare correctly and again set up for success!
Cheers!

The Top 7 Quit Smoking Mistakes
That Continue Your Addiction

Quitting smoking could be one of the most difficult tasks that you undertake in your life.
It is well understood that addiction to cigarettes can be very strong and statistics show
that about 80% of smokers fail to quit the first time and the situation does not imporve
with further attempts. Recent statistics also show that those that do quit tend more often
than not to fall back into the habit within 12 months. Clearly the odds seem stacked
against you …
Why should this be the case though? Why should you fall into the same traps as all those
other smokers and “serial quitters?" The answer is that you do not have to stumble at the
same roadblocks and you do not need to walk blindly into the future ensnared by
cigarettes' smoky webs. By understanding the top 7 quit smoking mistakes you can
avoid them to kick your addiction and be smoke free! Let’s take a closer look.

1. Choosing the Wrong Reasons to Quit
Before any positive actions can be taken you must have the right reason to enact them.
Without the right, sustainable reasons to stop smoking you could be facing an uphill
battle or worse; a total dead end.
Examples of poor reasons to quit smoking are quitting because of nagging and pressure
from a spouse, to secure a job or opportunity or because it costs too much money.
In fact, the only good reason to quit is to quit for yourself and for your family. Only when
the need to stop smoking is internalised and comes from within your own domain can
you be truly effective at ending an addiction. Outside pressures can help and push you in
the right direction, but if you face resistance in your own heart to quit you will be
unlikely to succeed.

2. Not Knowing Your Real Motivation
Not quitting for yourself and instead being pushed from outside forces may be the first
mistake many quitters face, but the second one is usually not understanding your
underlying motivation. You see, there are two types of motivation that are hard-coded
into the human mind. In simple terms they are called Move Towards and Move Away.
• Move towards is an attitude of achieving something. It is a very positive frame of
mind and the drive behind it is to have some sort of accomplishment which is the
reward at the end of the journey. This is the aspect of hope.
• Move away is an attitude of avoiding something or getting rid of something in
life: in this case, cigarettes. This is a more negative frame of mind and instead of
feeling good at being accomplished the end goal is to feel relieved that something
terrible is gone from your life. This is an aspect of fear.
Now you might think that move away sounds like a bad thing but the truth is that BOTH
of these frames of mind are good if you understand what is driving you deep within. Most
people are in fact driven by a move away feeling and that is fine. So embrace what your
true driver is, do not try to be a positive thinking expert if you are really scared to death
of your ailing lungs and the problems this cause. Know your own mind and act
accordingly or you will find that you will falter.

3. Poor Planning
Planning your quitting goals is a vital part of succeeding at smoking cessation. Too many
smokers tend to make snap decisions and quit but have no idea of what lies ahead or how
they are going to manage it. Those a little more organised might have thought about it for
some time and made some mental preparation but do not write these things down which
is another mistake.
You see, when you are trying to get rid of an addiction as strong as smoking cigarettes,
all your best laid plans might come undone when the cravings hit. The urge to smoke
when you are craving a smoke is incredibly high and your mind which may have been
resolute a moment ago suddenly changes as your reasoning becomes twisted.
Being prepared for these times is essential in the short term. For long term you also need
a plan to deal with the time you used to spend smoking and other problems that might not
seem so obvious now. A good way to help with all these things is to write down your
plans. Write down your short term goals and your long term goals and keep them with
you. When the cravings hit your own mind might get messed up but your words on paper
stay true.

4. Thinking a Relapse is the End of Your Attempt to Quit
There is a lot of pressure on you when you are trying to quit. There is a sense of this
being a battle against a force that comes from inside you and a massive test of your
willpower. This is quite true, but the pressure such thinking creates can have
consequences when it comes to relapsing.
When you stumble and give in to a cigarette after trying to be so strong for so long many
smokers simply give up. “If I gave in then obviously I am not strong enough, so why fight
it?” This or a similar statement might flash through your head, leading you down the path
of returning to your smoking habit.
This does not need to be the case though if you change your thinking about what a
relapse is. If you let go of the negative feelings when you make a mistake you can turn
this into a positive thing. Instead of seeing it as a failure see it as a learning experience.
Why did you give in that one time? What prompted it? What could you do next time this
happens to avoid the same thing?
Imagine you are in a race but the only competitor is yourself. If you trip and fall, do you
go right back to the start? NO! You stand back up, dust yourself off and keep running
until you get to the finish line. Giving up just sets you back … continuing with your
quitting journey will see it eventually succeed, and you gaining more wisdom as well.

5. Mistaking Physical Dependency with Mental Addiction
One problem perpetuated by the media and companies that make quit smoking aids is that
the nicotine withdrawal is your major obstacle. Nicotine cravings can be very difficult to
manage causing headaches, nausea, irritability and of course the urge to smoke to calm
your nerves. However, these are not the only forces inside you pushing you to smoke.
Just as powerful if not MORE powerful than the physical addiction to the chemical
nicotine is the mental or psychological addiction you have to the habit of smoking. Not
only does your body expect nicotine to be pumped into it on a regular basis but it expects
you to smoke as a comforting action. Your mind and body has become used to the
habitual action of smoking and your mind believes it is needed.
This is not nicotine, but rather your belief that smoking is actually a good thing, buried
deep inside your subconscious. Knowing the difference between the physical and the
psychological will help you quit without relying on nicotine patches as a total solution.

6. Not Getting Support
Too many smokers attempt to go it alone for various reasons. Perhaps they are scared that
if they let people know they are quitting and then fail they will be humiliated. Perhaps
they believe this is a personal struggle and others should not be involved. Maybe all their
friends are smokers and quitting might be seen as a rejection of them. There are many
reasons and none of them are helpful to your cause.
Having people in your corner when you are trying to quit is a huge help. It makes you set
out your plans to someone. This allows you to solidify the decision via a social contract.
It also garners you help and support as well as someone who will hold you accountable
for your actions as well.
A simple word of encouragement at a bad time can sometimes be all you need to stay on
the right path. Don’t think you have to carry this burden alone, find friends or family
members who can help.

7. Not Doing Your Research
The world is awash with cigarettes and the health dangers are now well known. As such
the world is also flooded with information about quitting smoking and getting your lungs
to a better state of health. The problem is, everyone thinks they know everything about
smoking … but do they really?
If you take advice form people who have never been through the process of quitting
before or at least who have never researched the subject with any depth of scrutiny then
you may be misinformed. Advice from friends and relatives may have its place but to
really understand how to quit smoking and gain better lung health you need to find a
complete system that informs you of all your choices and makes it easy to plan and
progress with your smoking cessation.

Quitting Should Not Be Your Final Destination!
Smoking causes a massive build up of tar, toxins and carcinogens inside your lungs that
does not just go away when you stop smoking. So learning how to get rid of the toxins will be apart of our journey!

Stay healthy and well,
Cheers!

Hello all and Happy Friday to you all:
As I said I will be posting one post a day with information and tips to "help us get ready for our group quit day", which by the way is about one month away. Please jump in with comments, information, things that have worked for you, in many areas of the quitting process. If something you have tried in the past worked for you or made that attempt a bit easier then by all means share your story please. I am trying to "prepare" us all with mental and physical approaches that will help us all be successful. Who knows what will happen but we will at least get some very useful information and most importantly healthy habits.
I believe if we implemented at least a single
change to your lifestyle that may help quit we are "winning".
Every journey starts with a single step as the saying goes. If you don’t take
that step you never have a great adventure, or even just leave the house!

So today, I just wanted to share a few more insights into getting better lung health today that might just help you take your quitting and detoxification attempt one step further.

First up, if you find it hard to quit or to stay
quit, one of the psychological motivators to continue smoking is just the habitual action of smoking. Your hands and your mouth are so used to having something to play with and hold that
without it you may fidget and become anxious and want to smoke again.

Try to keep your hands and mouth busy. Take up sucking on a toothpick, gum or a lollipop for instance. Maybe even carry a bit of paper around to fiddle with rather than a cigarette if you cannot afford the E-cig. The absence of cigarettes can be a bit like a phantom but the habit can be broken.

The other tip I thought need more elaboration is that of support. Whether you are quitting smoking or undertaking a full lung detox there will be people who support you, and people who will try to make life hard for you. I like to call them negative people.

Amazingly some people, usually smokers, will sometimes try to sabotage your efforts out of jealousy at your strength to quit, or out of some foolish idea that smoking is harmless. Others
might even try to tear you down if you tell them you are cleansing your lungs. I have heard some people take issue with anything to do with a "detox" thinking that healthy living is sort of scam!
Remember to avoid those people, respectfully of course. Surround yourself with supportive people who will aid you in this and not hinder you. When you might feel low, just one of these jokers can
sometimes lead to a bad decision.

Remember this is YOUR life and YOUR health and YOUR lungs. Don't let anyone else make your decisions for you! Starting today at least ten times a day try saying out loud "when you alone" so your family and friends don't think we have gone crazy...LOL - just simply say "I can and will quit smoking!" "I will quit smoking for good". Physiological messages that are positive and direct really work. Your brain hears you even if you think it doesn’t!

There are a few preparations and natural ways to start detoxing your lungs and to start breaking down the mucus before we even start our quit.
Along with this information I have also researched breathing techniques that will help strengthen your lungs as well as help in the detoxifying process.
The lung exercises are easy and can be done anywhere. I will post more on breathing techniques tomorrow. Also I have researched that when a craving comes on certain breathing exercises can actually help ease the craving and your nerves. We shall save the whole breathing post for tomorrow.
Today I have learned herbal teas really can detox the mucus and tar that are trapped within our lungs.

There are many different types, and if you add a little lemon and honey they really aren’t as bad as some may sound. The garlic tea is an amazing healer for the entire body, but I couldn’t do it without the help of that delicious honey, which makes just about anything taste good to me.
There are several different choices you can try, one being Honeysuckle tea, Rosemary tea, and many more. Here are a couple recipes to try out.
Lung cleansing tea is well known for relieving respiratory congestion, colds and bronchitis. Irritated bronchial passages will be soothed and excess lung mucus removed. The following is a simple recipe for the tea.

Lung detox: Lung Cleansing Tea #1

•1 (one) tablespoon mullein (about 14.8 ml US tablespoon)
•1 tablespoon peppermint
•1 tablespoon licorice root (optional)
In 3 cups of water simply simmer licorice for about 10 minutes. For the next 10 minutes simmer again after adding peppermint and mullein. Strain.
Drink warm 3 times or more a day.

Lung detox: Lung Cleansing Tea #2

Lung Cleansing: Cherokee Lung Cleanse Method
•1 teaspoon seeds
•1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
•1 teaspoon FRESH skullcap leaves (Scutellaria lateriflora)

Simmer for 7 minutes. Strain. Drink 3 times per day for 3 days. If you smoke or have been smoking you will cough up some black stuff from the lungs. That is accumulated tar.

Lung detox: Lung Cleansing Tea #3
Detox Herbal Tea

Is your body feeling the need for a Detox? No need for harsh chemicals and prescriptions, a cup of tea will sort you right out!

1 part Echinacea

1 part Pau D'Arco
Simmer for 7 minutes. Strain. Drink 3 times per day for 3 days. If you smoke or have been smoking you will cough up some black stuff from the lungs. That is accumulated tar.

Some natural lung cleansers are grapefruit juice, carrot juice, potassium, ginger, peppermint and cranberry juice. Many of these are foods that help the proper digestion of alkalizing foods which in turn improve the functioning of the lungs. Lime juice can be had on an empty stomach as soon as you wake up. Next, you can have grapefruit juice with your breakfast. For your mid-morning snack have a tall glass of carrot juice. Carrot juice is high in beta-carotene which is transformed into Vitamin A. This gives a boost to your respiratory system. For lunch, try and have a good dose of potassium. Potassium is a good detox agent for the body. It can be found in green leafy vegetables and carrots. Finally before hitting the pillow cranberry juice can be had. This juice is known to cleanse the urine and blood and is has excellent antioxidant properties. These are the different lung cleansing foods that can be had on a regular basis and more so when you want to follow a lung cleansing schedule.

Smokers Lungs and Unhealthy Lung Disorders - Peptic Ulcers, Ulcerative Colitis, Emphysema to Name a Few
Most people who smoke are aware of some of the dangers. However, you may be having health problems that you don't even attribute to smoking, as we discovered when we read the interesting statistics available.
It is pretty obvious that smoking will damage the lungs and respiratory system but did you know that forty-one percent of peptic ulcers found in males and thirty-three percent found in females is caused by smoking cigarettes? Or that eight percent of ulcerative colitis in males and three percent in females is also caused by smoking of cigarettes?
Another statistic that truly surprised us was the number of fires that are caused by cigarette smoking. I know of stories where people fell asleep with a lit cigarette but always assumed that those stories were rare. I was shocked to read this statistic:
•Twenty-three percent of fire injuries are due to cigarette smoking accidents.
Of course, the number of deaths directly attributed to smoking is even more staggering: Each year tobacco causes some four million premature deaths.
I hope you found this information helpful....always ask your doctor before doing any new routine and ask him if you can try Herbs. Remember drink at least 3-4 cups a day. I am going to go for (4-6) cups. That’s just me!
I found a lot of the Herbs to make the different teas on Ebay, if you don’t have an Ebay account any Holistic, Herbal or Health food store should carry all or some of the teas. I apologize the post was so long but I wanted you all to have a great amount of history on teas and getting rid of all the junk we have in our lungs!
Enjoy your teas be creative and have fun and until next time!
