Since quitting rather abruptly a few weeks back, I have utilized all available forms of nicotine replacement. I started with a month of Zyban before stopping.<br>I then for irrelevant reasons increased my intake of ciggarettes to 3 packs of full strength 100s a day. Shortly I could hardly breathe and was hospitalized and treated for congestive heart failure. I couldn't breathe because my heart couldn't keep my lungs from filling up with liguid. Once being stabilised and released after 7 days, and lots of meds,<br>I have continued not smoking by using the patch as well as nicotine gum and finally nicotine inhalers or e-cigarettes. <br><br>Since I am incredibly addicted to nicotine, I have tried pretty much every e-cig available. <br>Some are so similar to real cigarettes as to be virtually interchangable. <br><br>The problem is that one can dramatically increase one's intake of nicotine without suffering the ill (and to some extent limiting) effects of tobaco.<br><br>Therefore I fear that an even more insideous addition to nicotine than that produced by tobaco is possible.
E-cigarettes, an even more sinister method of creating addicts

2 mg/kg of nicotine can kill you. Will cause seizures and send your heart into fibrillation. The physical addiction to nicotine isn't as powerful as the psychological addiction to cigarettes

Weird, I always thought those things were a serious tool in the fight against addiction...

Nahhh...just a healthier alternative. You still get the nicotine and the inhalation effect. So it's more of a replacement than a tool for quitting.

Now that Washington State has legalized marijuana we can forget are nicotine addictions by getting smoking weed.

I used nicotine chewing gum, it worked for me.

fully immersed in faith..
ecigs are fantastic, been using them for about three and a half years now....rather than increase my use of nicotine I have reduced it.....when I first started I vaped at 24mg/ml which is approximately the strength of a Marlborough Red......now I am somewhere between 3 and 4 mg/ml which is significantly less than any ultralight cigarette on the market......
Rooting for you Rune. I quit cigarettes finally but had tried all of the gum, patches and e-cigs along the way. At 46 years old the e-cig put me in the emergency room with an accellerated heart rate and shortness of breath. I finally quit by using Chantix and going to counseling. Most difficult thing I have ever done but I have finally kicked the habit.

Rune maybe you should try hypnosis. I have several friends who say that it worked great. In fact, my brother quit that way too. I am thinking about having myself hypnotized into forgetting that JPP exists.
