Ecig Reviews

I have received many emails from readers regarding which ecigs are the best and how to choose one. This question comes up a lot from people who are looking to start using ecigs because honest reviews are hard to come by. Many review sites are affiliates of the different ecig companies who are just looking to sell as much product as they can and dont usually post honest reviews.

AFFILIATE REVIEW SITES

I owe much of my success of quitting smoking to electronic cigarettes. Since using them, my doctor has said my overall health has improved tremendously and I feel better than ever. Ecigs gave me the ability to gradually reduce my nicotine dependency and still feel like I was smoking. Everything about ecigs has been great and I want other people to see the benefits from them but there is one problem.

Many ecig companies use affiliates to sell their products. While there is nothing wrong with this, it leads to biased reviews from affiliates just trying to push their product. During my search for legitimate electronic cigarette reviews, I had a hard time finding a site that was not plastered with ads and 5 star reviews for everything. This made it difficult for me to find which ecig was best for me. I continued my search until I came across e-smoke-reviews.com. This site organized the information in an easy to read way that allowed me to see what I would be getting from each product. The reviews on the site seemed honest and I was able to decide on which ecig to purchase. 

As I said earlier, ecigs have changed my life for the better. I couldn't be happier now that I'm done smoking cigarettes and I want others to experience the same benefits. I almost never got around to ordering one because I thought they would be a waste of money and many sites to order from seemed like spam. Without e-smoke-reviews.com I might still be smoking and could have developed diseases and other problems that come with the nasty addiction.

Quit Smoking Motivation

Despite knowing that cigarettes were causing harm to my body, I still continued to smoke. Once I decided to finally quit, I began looking at different pictures that showed the negative affects of smoking.  This gave me motivation to continue to stay away from cigarettes and the more I learned from these images, the more motivated I was to quit. I will post different pictures that I come across in hopes of keeping others motivated to stop smoking as well.

Gradually Reduce Nicotine

NICOTINE REDUCTION

Smoking is a horrible habit that has negatively affected the health of millions around the world. Everyday people continue to purchase packs of cigarettes even if they know that there are putting themselves at risk for health problems. As I am sure many of you know, cigarettes are addictive and quitting smoking can be difficult for many, despite how informed they are on the toxic chemicals that they knowingly put in their body. Cigarettes contain many harmful ingredients but the one that keeps smokers coming back for another cig is the nicotine. The addiction to nicotine is difficult to break and is the main reason why many people have trouble quitting smoking.

Because smokers have created an addiction to nicotine from repeated cigarette use, simply stopping smoking can be nearly impossible. Patches and gums work for some but the satisfaction of smoking is no longer there and many find themselves turning back to cigarettes. With nicotine, the key is to gradually reduce your dependency over time instead of quitting cold turkey. It may sound difficult but with electronic cigarettes, commonly know as ecigs, gradually reducing the amount of nicotine that you put in your body is easier than ever.

Ecigs are an excellent tool to use if you are looking to quit smoking. To find more information, look at this site that reviews ecigs e-smoke-reviews.com. With ecigs you can continue to smoke without the toxins and chemicals that are present in traditional cigarettes along with many other great features. As we talked about earlier, the key to quitting smoking is to gradually reduce your nicotine intake until you are no longer dependent on the drug. Because ecigs come in multiple nicotine strength levels, you can slowly lower the amount that you are consuming while still having the satisfaction of smoking. This chart (http://e-smoke-reviews.com/ecig-comparison/) shows some of the different ecig companies and what nicotine strength levels they offer.

Ecigs have been helping people quit smoking because of the ability to lower nicotine addiction gradually. Along with the benefit of continuing to be able to smoke, ecigs offer smokers other advantages over traditional cigarettes as well. If you have been thinking of quitting or have even tried in the past then I highly recommend ecigs. I myself have used ecigs to fight my addiction and am currently still using them with no nicotine at all.  

How I Quit

I was lying in my bed coughing up a lung while trying to stay warm on a cold winter morning. My cough had gotten worse throughout the week and I was worried that I was coming down with the flu. As I fought the cough I started my morning off as I usually did, smoking a cigarette out on the deck. Cold and shivering, I continued to puff on the cigarette with coughs in between puffs. The cold was getting to me but I could not go inside because of the smell that would linger in my apartment.

I continued to cough and freeze outside when I finally realized the negativity that cigarettes were bringing to my life. I was making myself sicker standing outside only because I had a craving to essentially “make myself sicker” (smoke cigarettes). More and more reasons ran through my head as I pondered quitting smoking. I walked inside and threw the last pack of cigarettes in the trash and decided it was time to quit. This was going to be the start of a new life for me and I was excited to rid my body of the harmful toxins from cigarettes.

COLD TURKEY

I felt good on the drive to work and was happy to have smoked my last cigarette. Unfortunately, quitting cold turkey is not as easy follow through with as it may seem. By lunch time I had walked to the gas station and already smoked two cigarettes. While I became discouraged with my effort, I felt I had let myself down. Despite the unsuccessful attempt at quitting smoking, the horrible feeling of letting myself down at least reminded me that I was serious about this change. I just needed a plan.

NICOTINE PATCHES

Before I left work, the pack of cigarettes that I had just purchased was in the trash. I had heard of nicotine patches and gum that have helped people quit smoking and that was going to be what I tried next. Determined to never smoke a cigarette again, I drove to the drug store and talked with an employee about the options that I had and ended up leaving with a pack of nicotine patches along with the gum. I had two options for quitting and felt confident that one of them would work.

I was wrong. The patches made me sick, the gum tasted gross and I couldn’t continue to chew it. I had begun to smoke again after a few days of trying to quit. Once again I felt a feeling of letting myself down but at least that again made me realize I was serious about quitting. I just needed to find another way.

E-CIGARETTES

Browsing the Internet for another option to quitting, I came across electronic cigarettes commonly known as e-cigs. After doing some research I realized that this is exactly what I was looking for. I still would be able to “smoke” and could gradually reduce the strength level of the nicotine until I was no longer addicted. This was exactly what I needed and I began to look for a brand to try.

I came across the website e-smoke-reviews.com. This website is great and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to purchase an e-cig. After browsing the different brands, I ended up purchasing a Frii ecig and was pleased with the product as a whole.

A few months had passed and I hadn’t picked up a real cigarette since. My attempt to quit smoking was going great. I had begun ordering nicotine-free refills for my Frii ecig and felt I was finally done with smoking. Despite myself no longer being addicted to nicotine, I continued to use the ecig.

HEALTHIER

My cough was gone within a few months and I have noticed an improvement in my overall health. Since I first bought my Frii ecig, I have continued to use ecigs of all different brands and have found them to become one easiest ways for people to quit smoking.

I credit my healthier lifestyle to ecigs. There are many people out there who are looking to quit smoking but have not been able to fight the addiction. I will continue to update this blog with all thing related to ecigs in order to spread awareness of the products that are out there. Ecigs have changed my life for the better and I hope people reading my blog will gain information on ecigs and how easy it is for them to quit smoking.
