Update: Ok well I ordered and recieved the electronic cigarette and as promised I am reporting back, I ordered a Veppo disposable cigarette, it is a lot cheaper than a permanent type and if it is a close representation of a permanent model,I would advise you to beg off, heres why.... 1. The weight is really weird, it feels heavy and unbalanced due to the battery at the tip. 2. You need to drag very hard to get the effect your used to from a real cigarette. 3.It doesn't taste as good as a real cigarette to me. Now it will help at times when you have to satisfy that "oral fixation" (get yer mind outta the gutter!!!) I don't have serious cravings like before thanks to the Wellbutrin,but any habit is hard to overcome so I guess from time to time until I am completely over it, I will use it to "settle" down. But it does look like a real cigarette and the tip glows orange when you inhale,and you will be able to inhale and exhale "smoke", (its really vapor)
P.S. You are able to order different strengths from light to very strong and regular or menthol.

I've been smoking for 27 years started in High school. I quit once for 1 month on a bet. That night my friend paid me and i started again stupid. The funny thing is when my girlfriends would tell me to quit i couldn't but i could do it on a bet. Now days its hard to quit. I just had my gums done and the dentist told me i needed to quit otherwise all that  i spent (1500) will be for nothing. When i'm at work i would only smoke about 4 cig and when i get home i would finish the pack. Here where i live it cost $5 to $9. More than food. I had a friend who would roll his own and the cost was 1/10 of what i pay. Since 2007 the tax is more the the pack. I think its like $3-$5 just for tax. I think it might be time to quit.

Seriously consider asking your Doctors about taking either Chantix or Wellbutrin,they actually curb /stop your cravings and will save you a sh*tload of money,I was smoking about 2 packs a week on average, and they are about 9 bucks a pack here,so lets do the math 18 bucks a week x 4= 72 dollars a month......72 dollars!!!!!! Thats a utility bill,and 2 Packs a week is not a lot actually, a pack a day smoker OMG the math would be 9 bucks x 7= 63.00 x 4 weeks = 252.00 a month,( a car note) you might save some by buying carton but still........I'm just saying

What i have been thinking about trying is the electric cigarette. It still lets you smoke, without the ash and associated mess. I think the smoke is water vapor, not sure if it has nicotine in it though

Yes it does have nicotine in it jakoman - a few puffs on that and your craving goes away. They are quite realistic too. Definitely worth a try if you are wanting to give it up. blue

I quit smoking twice.. 4 months and 3 months, took a nicotine gum once when I didnt smoke for a few days, right after I searched my whole house including the garbage can for smokes, so only started the nicotine craving up again. Will try again soon, best thing to do imo is drink alot of water, it flushes the nicotine out of your system..

i got one for u. my friend is a taxi driver. He got a call from dispatch for a pick up. He went to the address and a girl came out she said to take her to the nearest store. This was about 2:00am. He drove to the nearest store which was a 7-11. she went into the store bought a pack a ciggs and came out and that all she got. well we all know 7-11 is not a good place to buy because of the price. Well lets just say that pack cost her $22. $8.50 for the pack and $14 for the ride with tip. what people would pay for that drug.

Y'all know about Jake, my "husband". Smoker. Now, I could stand the smell and mess, maybe, but the fact that he comes out here, knowing I only have a very limited and almost exhausted income, then bitches and throws fits if I don't finance his pack of smokes. The last two times he's been here, I've refused, and he's left. Before that, he'd take my bank card, or any cash on hand and come back with cigarettes, and drunk. He always starts out so sweet-oh, let me walk to town and buy you some groceries. Yeah, groceries. $10 of groceries for me, $20 of cigs and beer or vodka for him. That got old real quick. Thank goodness you can't buy either with the foodstamp card. He'll call me now from San Antonio, say he's working, has $30 only, but is coming out here. By the time he buys his bus ticket, smokes, and booze, he's got almost enough for the bus ride back to SA. The rest he bullies out of my silver dime collection. Cigarettes. At least when I used to smoke I paid for my own.
