I haven't tried them.  I'm doing the patch.  The whole hand bringing a cigarette fake or not to my mouth would be too much like smoking and I don't think I could quit smoking by pretending to be smoking.  The patch helps because none of that is going on.  I'm only at 5 weeks quit and still on step 2 of the patch so I really don't know.  Good luck to you however you do it!  Have a wonderful new year!

My thoughts on ECigs is: why bother? ^ like she said, it's basically the same thing as smoking. I don't know why or how they got started marketing those things but everyone seem to want in. I think they'll fade out just about as fast as they took off, at least I hope so. I have nothing against NRT as a quit aid, i.e., patch, lozenge, gum, nasal, etc... as millions have finally quit with the help of NRT and, even so, discipline is an absolute must.

Actually they are not the same as smoking if you get the nic free cartidges.  You are basically inhaling water vapors and they help ALOT.  I would much rather relapse to my fake cigarette in an emergency than start smoking again.  I have a very stressful job and am a single mom and it has been impossible to quit.  At least it is a way to stop without continuing to put nicotine in your body like the patch ect.....
