So first of all you predict mouth, lung, throat, bladder and kidney cancer, emphysema and chronic breathing/bronchitis problems for e-cig users…..with zero evidence or fact.

Then you make a statement about ‘cold turkey’ which a) you have no experience of and b) the facts and figures do not back up (and another rollseyes)


Me, started over 40 years ago at 13 because of peer pressure… tried cutting down, said I’d give up when they got to a £1 a packet/£2 a packet etc.. done the cold turkey a few times in the past and once lasted 2 years before I regressed….problem is that once you’ve had a fag and become an addict…that taste and feeling NEVER goes away and you are always one moment of weakness away from lighting up again.

I’m currently on my third year fag free because of a post on this forum about e cigs from Flashy (btw thanks xx)

Normally I smell smoke and I feel like retching.. but just occasionally it smells oh so sweet (especially when I’m on the beer)….but I got my plastic fag to stuff in my mouth and that feeling goes away.

I have one of these ‘grown up dummys’ in my gob more often than I used to have an actual fag…but I can’t remember the last time I coughed other than to clear my throat, my breathing and taste are better, when I exercise my heart and pulse rate are normal for my age and I’ve just passed my annual health MOT with flying colours.

They work, just like antibiotics, antipsychotics and antihistamines….so why shouldn’t they be classed as a medication and therefore prescribed?
