I've been a tobacco smoker for 8 years and recently I've been trying things to help me quit. Then I found out about electronic cigarettes. The difference between an Electronic cigarette and a tobacco cigarette, In the tobacco cigarette, I inhale smoke/fumes/whatever you call it. But in an electronic cigarette, I inhale vapor, which gave term to a new word, Vaping. So, theoretically, it's much less hazardous to the health as opposed to smoking.
Now, I've tried my first electronic cigarette last year but it was a cheap model, it failed in helping me quit and I got back into the tobacco smoking saddle again.
A year later, I bought a new and fairly expensive model of electronic cigarette, and in my 26th day today of using it, it's safe to say that my tobacco craves has almost diminished. If I were to compare me tobacco smoking and e-cig vaping, tobacco is worse. I smoke a stick after the other, 1 pack a day. But on an ecig, its almost occasional that I vape. Which made me a bit high-spirited that, I can actually live without a cig.
I wanna hear the thoughts and experiences of the smokers out there who've switched electronic cigarettes, if ever there are in this forum. For those tobacco smokers who want some insight about electronic cigarettes, ask away. And those who have negative readings about e-cigs, leave a message and lets discucs about it

If you want to quit you should quit instead of taking a subsitute. There are plenty of heavy smokers who did that from one day to the other. There is way more habit in it as you think.

I used both for a few months. Its tough. After a good meal, i want the real thing. but when im in the car or on a short break at work, the e-cig is fine
