E cigs: Why not just give up?

kav

Generally I don't, as long as it doesn't impact me or mine. It does make me smile when the tough talk starts though - being overly-defensive indicates that beneath the bravado smokers feel guilty about their habit and would love to be able to stop.

I get the same way when friends or family call me a fat bastard.

LMFAO

But you haven't stopped smoking Growly. Swapping one nicotine delivery device for another doesn't an ex-smoker make I'm afraid.

Step 1 to stopping - snap yourself out of the denial.

Can I remind people that this is the moan about people who use E-cigs thread. There is a proper E cig thread for E cig users.

Erm I have stopped smoking Clovy. A smoker smokes cigarettes. I don't smoke cigarettes. Therefore I don't smoke...

IronGiant

That's quite a good point

As if a simple thing like a fact will stop them...

And what about cigars? Pipes? Also chewing tobacco isn't exactly healthy (tongue cancer) You've just dumped one vice for another, or given up heroin for a heroin substitute which is the addicitive part of the drug.

Oh my god. Thank you Berties. I didn't realise I'm a heroin addict as well. You've saved me! I've seen the light!

Replace heroin with nicotine/alcohol/skooma/gambling or whatever... it's all the same.
