I am an addict. My drug of choice is nicotine. I have smoked for the last 45 years or more. I smoke a pack or better.
But I have recently changed the delivery system for my drug. Like many people I have tried to quit and never made it. But recently I purchased an e-cigarette system. So far I am 5 days without a cigarette. I don't seem to have that craving I had before. Yes I am still getting nicotine, but I have found I am coughing a bit more as my body tries to eliminate the juck in my lungs.
I do feel some what better. I will know more at the end of the month. Oh and you can cut down on the amount of nicotine you get if you refill your own cartomizers.

Good work, Janet! The beginning is the worst time. It gets easier as you go. I know, because:
I am an addict. My drug of choice is alcohol. I blew a .27 on a breathalyzer and haven't touched a drop since. That was in 1986.
@Bethany "I finally have a picture of myself as my avatar" Yes, you do! Good to see you. Hugs, Devlyn
