[QUOTE="RoyG, post: 281843, member: 44425"] I stopped with the cigarettes 30 months ago before I was diagnosed with type 2, I would be in a right mess now if I had not, as It would be Diet and smoking to deal with, I tried the full NHS arsenal of potions, pills and patches and every one failed. I had Zyban and had horrible side effects, headaches, muscle pain and depression. 30 months ago, I saw an ad for an E-Cig which got me thinking, I had seen them before but just passed them off as a gimmick, but I thought to myself hey what the heck I have tried everything else so give it a shot. 3 days later it arrived, and the first time I used it I thought the Holy Grail at last something that I know will work as it gives you that hit in the throat all us smokers miss. I have never touched another cigarette since and while I did have the odd moment of feeling like a cigarette I never gave in. I still use it, but on 5mg of nicotine now and mainly for the flavours I put in, I can have the taste of apple pie and many other flavors, but not the Sugars, and at least I am not sucking in the other 4000+ Carcinogens. I would suggest you read up on them as I did and form your own opinion. They are not marketed as a cessation product for various legal wrangling s with MRSA and FDA because they claim they have not been clinically tested. and Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
