These evil little things have haunted me most of my life, ever since that first sweet drag of nicotine when I was 14 I’ve had an on-off love affair with the cancer sticks. Quitting is something that I’ve done intermittently, I’m not entirely sure that I have ever truly quit for any great length of time, sure I’ve fooled myself into thinking that I am no longer a smoker, because a post-sex cigarette is very different to actually being a smoker, right? Wrong, that post-sex cigarette soon joins the post-food cigarette, the just-woken-up cigarette and before you know it the ‘ah-it’s-3pm’ cigarette and you’re back on the smoking wagon. I’ve decided that having my growth stunted, my fingers yellowed and clearly visible crow’s feet actually does bother me so this time is for real and here’s how I’m going about it.
E-Cigarette
I thought this would be a decent option to start with, all of the ‘benefits’ that come with smoking just without the 10,000 harmful chemicals that cigarettes pump around my already frail body. This worked out pretty well and I seamlessly made the shift from real cigarettes to e-cigarettes. A word of warning, there are countless e-cigarettes on the market and many of them taste foul, don’t last long or have absolutely no similarities with a real cigarette, do a little research online before you buy or you may end up wasting a lot of money like I did.
