Quitting Smoking, Anyone try one of the e-cigarettes?

[wezee]

My son bought a type of e-cig (njoy) 4 weeks ago and has not smoked a regular cigarette since. Matter of fact, he said his will be dropping his nicotine level very soon. I really want to quit. I have a chronic cough that my Dr. says won't go away until I do.

I am very weight phobic and gained 35-40lbs. last time I tried to quit. With the price of cigarettes sky rocketing, I decided it's time. I am feeling very comfortable with my diet and exercise routine and think I am in more control than last time.

Anyone have any experience with the e-cigarette?

Thanks for the encouragement. I did purchase the e-cigarette and boy what a difference. I realize, for now, I am still getting my nicotine fix....but the e-cig. cuts out the tar and other bad stuff. After using it for several days...I tried a regular cigarette and it tasted like I had just licked the bottom of an old dirty ash tray. I am hoping to step down to lower nicotine in a month or so. I have had some charger issues and have had to contact the company for a replacement....but have still knocked my smoking down from about a pack a day to about 3 cigs a day. I am very phobic about weight gain....but so far no big food issues or cravings.
