How and Why I quit smoking
I wasn't even listening when my doctor told me (for the 100th time!) that I needed to quit smoking
. I had heard it all before. I have tried to quit in the past, gum, patch, pill, 'you name it' I told him. He mentioned the Electronic Cigarette to me and I said 'Aren't those expensive and a hassle?'. He said he had been having great success with a few of his patients that had tried them, that they are widely available on the internet now too and there were great advancements in the technologies which make them much simpler to use. Well, that tripped a switch in my head! Hmmmmm....I thought, maybe this could be the answer? Could I actually quit after so many failed attempts? So for the next month I did my research, what were these 'Electronic Cigarettes', their cost, did they actually help anyone quit smoking traditional cigarettes? The answers I got were astounding! The reviews on electronic cigarettes for all who tried them were almost ALL positive! You have your standard 'this one is better' or 'that one is better' of course, but they all seemed to have the same thing in common....they QUIT! Usually within just a few days!
I checked out all the brands and, of course, some are quite expensive and some are very inexpensive, I then researched the reviews of customers of each to see the positives and the negatives of each brand. As I narrowed the list down to a dwindling three companies, I decided to do a test of the customer service of each. I sent an email with a general question to each company. One company never responded (it's been 3 weeks now!) one took 3 days and one responded within 30 minutes! Well, that had me! I decided to try to quit yet one more time and I had found a company that has customer service standards like me! It was a hard decision, why you ask? Because I LIKE to smoke! I truly enjoy it! But I hated the thought of what I was doing to myself for that pleasure.
So I ordered my first electronic cigarette ( www.oursmoketip.com ), it was great because it came with free shipping. I hesitated on ordering more than 1 of the extra cartridges because, well to be honest, I didn't know if it was going to work! I got it in the mail on Saturday, just two days later. Opened it and was quite impressed, it actually looked like the product on the site! Wasn't 'plasticy' but quality. I charged the batteries and set my 'quit' date as Monday morning.
It has been 10 days since I quit (I haven't had a 'analog' cigarette since 10:45pm on Sept 5th, 2010). I don't have the jitters, the crankiness, the CRAVINGS like I did with other methods! I am just happy smoking my SmokeTip electronic cigarette. I have since gone nuts and ordered all kinds of cartridges and accessories! But you don't need them to start on your way(I'll admit my other addiction is shopping!).
I did another test this last weekend, I went to the casino and smoked my SmokeTip electronic cigarette while there, not one person noticed! I then went out to a local bar where a well known local band was playing and I knew there would be quite a few people. I spent most of my time 'out on the porch' smoking my SmokeTip electronic cigarette. The only ones who noticed were the ones I actually pointed it out too, and lo and behold! They wanted to know how it worked because they were looking to quit too!
The interest in the electronic cigarette is growing! At $10 a pack and climbing here in NYS the cost to continue a pack-a-day habit is nearly $300 a month! Even the 'casual' smoker is balking at the cost. I invested a total of $150.70 for my first month (starter kit at $59.95, 4 packs of cartridges at $71.80 and a travel charger at $18.95) and subsequent months should only cost me around $53.00 (actually less because I am not smoking as much as I used to either). Considering I was spending $171.00 a month I have already saved! Not only in my wallet but my health as well!
I am impressed! I hope you will be too! Ask me any questions, I will be happy to answer them and if I don't have the answer, I will find someone who does!! I fell completely in love with the SmokeTip brand and their superior customer service. I had a problem with my travel charger, and emailed them on a Sunday night expecting a reply back on Monday morning, nope, within an hour I had a reply and they sent the replacement charger out BEFORE receiving my defective unit back! That is true service, something I haven't seen in quite awhile. I love it so much that I started promoting them! Check out my new site www.oursmoketip.com to order!
