I smoked three packs a day for almost 30 years. Finiti disposable nicotine delivery devices (fake cigarettes) worked for me. Used to be I couldn't go 30 minutes without a cigarette. I haven't missed them at all since I started getting my nicotine this way. I didn't care for the other brands I tried but for me Finiti did the trick. They sell them at every Walgreens. One 'cigarette' costs $9.99 but it has an amount of nicotine equal to two packs or more. You can also 'smoke' them inside practically everywhere because they are odorless.
Also, I apparently didn't need nearly as much nicotine as I was ingesting with real cigarettes. While I smoked three packs a day, now a 2-pack-worth Finiti lasts me an average of 3 days. So instead of spending over $20 a day on it, I'm spending about $3.50 a day.

Also, while I'm getting plenty of nicotine, I'm smoke free and cigarettes look and smell gross to me now. I've gone 9 or 10 months without a hitch and from my first drag on a nicotine stick I haven't wanted a cigarette.
I'm glad you started this thread. Today makes 9 days without smoking for me. It hasn't been too incredibly bad since the first 3 days. Those sucked. Edit: I'm NOT glad that you were hurting so bad for a smoke, Moe. I defiantly feel that pain.
It's all mental. There is no such thing as a physical nic fit. It's all in your head. Smoked a pack a day for 15 years. Read this book and it was the easiest thing I've ever done. Think I'm full of it? Read the 800+ reviews on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-E...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1337210869&sr=1-1
Well most everything is mental. I suppose the main thing is I need to go back to the e-cigs when I have an intense craving instead of going back to regular smokes.
I do sort of think you're full of it, yes. Not that I think you know you are. There is no such thing as a physical sensation that is not also felt in the head. And, too, feeling a thing in the head makes one feel things in the body. Things that are felt in the head are not imaginary. They are as real as things that are felt in the body, because they are felt in the body. As a person with manic depression (bipolar 1, which is fatal in 20-40% of sufferers) and intermittent explosive disorder, the term "it's all in your head" is pretty ****ing offensive.
Read the book and you will laugh about your smoking e cigs. And btw, don't start with that " offensive" ****. My father is bipolar and read the book and never smoked again after 40 years of smoking and said it was all in his head. Read it...what do you have to lose? The actual physical withdrawal symptom of nicotine is about a three day period of drowsiness. Nic fits are mental. I had them all the time when I used to try to quit cold turkey. I felt like you do about it. I was wrong...and so are you. Best of luck
Damn, I feel for you guys. That Allen Carr book is good I quit about six years ago and have been having one or two lately while drinking. This thread reminds me to quit doing that before I start full fledged again
where does nicotine act in the body? everywhere... every single nerve that your body has takes in nicotine. Just thought I''d point it out since you think addiction to nicotine is purely just "in the head"
I said there is withdrawal. Its just a drowsy feeling. A nic fit is mental. Whatever...you guys continue the brainwashing and keep killing yourself for something that literally does nothing for you...other than make you feel normal...which is something non-smokers feel without lighting up. Just trying to help since I've been there for years
