I had been 100% determined to quit several times before I tried the hypnotherapy.

Iv been on an E cig (totally wicked) for 7 months, the only thing that has ever worked for me, they are superb.

I tried E-Cigs too (www.ecigsbrand.com) and although they were effective in delivering the nicotine hit, they weigh an absolute ton. If any of these e-cig manufacturers could develop a product the same size as a roll-up, that tasted like Golden Virginia, then I might be tempted to give them another go.

Going to try champix via boots stop smoking clinic,tried some herbal cigs peppermint flavour but tbh smell shocking but taste ok

I have thought about going to one to stop me eating cr@p, I suppose it's the same principle.

Decided not to go with champix my sky cig came last saturday and started using this so far so good not touched a proper cig now for 4 days

Just eating more

The ones Sky Cigs and VIP ones do look real but never tried them so was just wondering if you have used either what is your honest opinion of them both both same or different?. Best flavour to try, I am a Regal King Size smoker and non of the above did anything for me.'" Go to a cancer ward. You'll stop instantly.

I've seen [ipatients[/i from the cancer wards at Hull Royal Infirmary standing outside having a smoke, so there's no guarantee just visiting one would work.

Dont need to smoke to get cancer look at Roy Castle,plus in my opinion everybody is born with its just something that triggers it off in life

That might be your opinion, but I think you'd need to produce some evidence in order for it to be taken seriously.

And no, you certainly don't need to smoke to get cancer, but it increases your chances massively.

Why does anyone smoke then?

Same reason as anyone does anything risky, like sport or driving fast or jumping from planes or whatever: it's enjoyable.

what exactly is enjoyable about having fingers that reek like an ashtray.

each to their own though.

hope op succeeds with their goal, it will be worth it.

here here, hope the OP is successful.

Though as an ex-smoker, I still like the smell of other people's cigarettes. Strange, I know.

As for giving up, it's easy. I've done it four times now.

Though the last snout would have been about 9 years ago.

I stopped using skycigs over 6months ago after using them for a year. Not sure if they've improved since with the launch of their new range. The batteries only lasted 1-5months. Also when buying the packs of 5 cartridges it was guaranteed that one would be broken or leaking. I even got a pack where 3 were totally empty. A friend of mine moved on to Nicolites that you can get in shops and online. He said they were better and didn't leak.

I moved to the bigger vaping kind from liberty flights. A bit more fiddly and they require cleaning. But you can monitor your nicotine intake with them.

Got to agree the batteries dont last long 2/3 hours most.But did you know you can top up the cartomizers yourself once empty

.Done two of my empty ones with bubble gum e-liquid and they work great,also been doing some research and the Nicolites you mentioned actualy fit on the skycig battery

.Plus got e-lite cig too and i topped that up with my bubble gum e-liquid and thats fine too



Will be saving loads of money now i know you can top up the cartomizers yourself without ordering new ones all the time.

And by the way on my 9th day without smoking im

myself ive got this far

With the batteries i meant they stop working totally within 1-5months. I wasn't sure how far you'd gone with the vaping adventure, so didn't want to get too technical. I did read someone asking about that topping up the cigarette type cartridges and everyone responded negatively to it with skycigs ones. I still have all the kit, so i might try it out next time. The larger kit does have a lot more battery life, which last days and can be charged and used at the same time.

Well done, everyone says it's the second week that counts, but i found it was exactly the same feeling two weeks later as the first day.

Well done!

Still of the cigs 15 days but cant find a e-liquid i like the most.People have said try red bull but never drank the stuff so wouldnt now,others have said strawberry and kiwi are nice so is bananna flavour.
Smoked Regal King Size most of my life so if anyone else who has smoked this brand and found something similar to this let me know please thank-you

Thank-You Saintsfan could have killed a fag yesterday had cravings all day for one but never gave in thats why ive posted this .

No worries. Good job on battling through! Hope you find an outlet to get your favourites.

Day 20 tmrw but the cigs are on my mind all the time now why? Got this far but surely 1 relapse wont hurt me on my birthday tmrw as a treat 1 day only 10 only?

Keep going if you can, one relapse at this stage puts you back to square one in my experience. I was a smoker from the age of fourteen to thirty one and tried to quit hundreds of times until it just happened. Still think about it now sometimes and have had the odd lapse usually when drunk or in the early days after an argument with my wife (strange I know) but only smoke half a fag every couple of years now and they taste disgusting but there's still something there. I reckon its about twelve months minimum before you can have any kind of relapse without risking becoming a full time smoker again - just my experience. Good luck a new world opens up when you quit smoking.

Thank you not smoked today just used my e-cig bought some new liquid instead,time will tell 12 months you say hope it lasts longer than that.

This is where hypnotherapy could help.

From [url=http://www.hypnotherapy-directory.org.uk/articles/smoking.htmlthis site[/url:

[i"Hypnotherapy works by putting you in a deep, relaxed state where your mind is more open to suggestion. At this point your hypnotherapist will look to change your thought patterns by making suggestions such as 'I do not want a cigarette' or 'I am repelled by the smell of cigarette smoke'. For many people, just one session is enough to quit smoking however some may benefit from a follow-up session."[/i

As I said earlier, I walked in to my hypnotherapy treatment a smoker, and walked out an hour later a non-smoker. I barely had a single craving after the session and giving up was easier than any of the other methods I'd previously tried. It does also say that:

[i"Some people find hypnotherapy alone is enough to break the habit, while others prefer to combine it with NRT or medication to tackle both the physical and mental addiction together."[/i

So you could still use your e-cig alongside the hypnotherapy (though you might find you don't need to). Sorry if I seem a bit 'religious' with my harping on about hypnosis, but I can't overstate just how effective it was for me.
