Why Some Quit Smoking Methods Do Not Work
If you are looking to quit smoking, there are a number of methods available for you to use. Which one will work for you is a guessing game and many smokers try several methods without success. The key is figuring out what motivates you and what the reasons you want to quit are.
Quitting cold turkey is a method that has been tried and true for many people over the years, but it requires a lot of will power to make it through. Nicotine is physically addictive and the habit of having a cigarette in your hand is emotionally and psychologically addictive. Not many people realize it, but cigarettes are a crutch for them when they get into stressful or upsetting situations and are often the first thing that they reach for. Quitting cold turkey can be difficult for people who are constantly facing situations like these.
Pharmaceutical aids like nicotine gums, patches, and lozenges do not work most of the time. In fact, they only work for about 5% of the people who use them simply because they address the physical nicotine addiction, but do not address the mental addiction to the act of smoking. Because of this, most people who attempt to quit using this deceptively marketed method fail. The truth is, if you know someone who quit by using pharmaceutical aids, they probably could have quit on their own without buying a bunch of expensive drugs.
Another thing that doesn’t work and can actually be dangerous are prescription drugs that you can obtain from your doctor. Stop smoking prescription drugs are known for their side effects, including neuropsychiatric effects. Depression, difficulty concentrating, and suicidal tendencies are just a few of the symptoms that users have reported, especially those smokers who had a history of depression. Talk to your doctor and consider other options very carefully before resorting to this method.
The only real, legitimate way to quit smoking is to gradually reduce the amount that you smoke over a period of time. You can do this by limiting yourself to only a few cigarettes a day and decreasing that amount or by ceasing to smoke in areas of your home and in your vehicle and continuing to eliminate more areas as you go. You don’t have to spend a fortune to quit smoking; all you have to do is get yourself motivated and concentrate on just saying “no” to the craving, no matter what.

Can You Become An Ex Tobacco User Eith An E Cigarette
The majority of tobacco smokers have long wished that there was a better way to get the nicotine they crave so much. By now most tobacco users are aware that what causes the diseases and illnesses related to smoking is because of the the toxic smoke, tar residue, and chemicals that you get from cigarettes. The nicotine itself, while not really good for anyone, appears to have little to do with smoking related problems on its own. While nicotine is known to be addictive, some researchers have suggested that nicotine appears to be less addictive when not combined with tobacco, tar, smoke, and chemicals associated with it. No one suggests that having a nicotine addiction is good for anyone, but if you want it, you want to get it in the best way possible.
Those who have already tried and are continuing to use an e-cigarette have found that it is a much cleaner way to get the nicotine they want. There is no toxic smoke because there is no tobacco to be burned when using this device. There is a filter that is filled with a nicotine solution. This solution is made up of water, nicotine, flavorings, and some chemical content necessary to deliver the nicotine to the user. The chemicals that are involved in the making of the nicotine liquid are substances that are used in many products that we already purchase and use everyday.
A very few of those that manufacture and sell electronic cigarettes have misrepresented themselves by saying that the electric cigarette will make you stop smoking. While the part about not smoking tobacco can be true if you switch completely to the e-cigarette, the part about curing you of your nicotine addiction is not. You can stop using tobacco if you use an e-cigarette as a replacement , but it will not cure your nicotine addiction, obviously because you are still getting it. The e-cigarette was simply designed to be an alternative for any smoker who wants to get their nicotine in a better way.
You will also not get the smoke and tar associated with tobacco use. You will inhale a nicotine vapor that tastes and feels remarkably like inhaling tobacco smoke. There is no odor from the vapor and many researcher s believe that is is safe to use around others, but studies are still being conducted to prove this beyond any doubt. What you will find when using the electronic cigarette is that you do not miss the stinky tobacco smell, the tar that coated your lungs, or the high costs of tobacco.
Are E Cigarettes And Philip Morris Teaming Up?
What many e-cigarette users have feared from day one could be in the works: Philip Morris, the biggest maker of tobacco cigarettes in the United States, has been discovered to be in negotiations with Ruyan Group, which manufactured the original e-cigarette starting in 2005. A short news article on Quamnet.com , along with other directly related news on the subject states the seriousness of the matter:
“Ruyan Group said that an agreement between the Company and Philip Morris International Management S.A. could not be reached on matters relating to the co-operation between them on its “electronic cigarettes” by the end of the first and exclusive phase of negotiations.”
As the Food and Drug Administration has recently been given authority over the tobacco industry, the move by Philip Morris could be a carefully calculated move to gain controlling interest over the products inside the United States and abroad. The motives of the company are unclear at this point, but speculations include everything from wanting to shut the industry down by acquiring the rights to it all the way to possibly launching its own e-cigarette product and taking it mainstream.
Ruyan Group’s stock trading was suspended on November 2nd pending an announcement on a price sensitive matter. This could be related to a sudden 20% jump in the company’s stock price.
But, that isn’t the first time Ruyan Group’s stock has soared. Back in June, the stock rose over 35% after the announcement that the Company was negotiating with what Quamnet called an “independent third party”. Shortly afterward on July 6th, that third party became known to be Philip Morris.
In related news, Ruyan Group also sold their office properties for HK$28.57 million to an undisclosed buyer on October 23rd.
What this could mean for the e-cigarette industry both in the United States and internationally is uncertain, but what’s clear is this: Philip Morris wants in.
E Cigarette Retailer Adds Video Instructions For Products
In a world of impersonal and automated customer service, one e cigarette company is raising the bar again.
“They are really simple to use” states May Quintero, Customer service manager of e-cigarettes national, “But there are subtle changes from one model to the next, and we believe this will make the transition to the e cigarette much easier for the client that is new to e cigarettes, while making the customers buying experience easier and less stressful”.
The company states that only one video was placed on a specific product page and that the sales of that specific product made a sharp increase in sales and attributes the additional sales to making the customer more comfortable with the product by seeing with their own eyes how that particular product is used and how they may use it correctly.
“We do not produce products, we just retail them, provide 5 star customer service and free shipping for the top e-cigarette brands on the market, so we have to do the job better than the competition, and making the customer more informed and more comfortable with the product is a major part of our commitment to our clients”, states May.

45% Quit Smoking With E Cigarettes, Study Reveals
Here is an excerpt from the origional article Here. And if you want to see an e cigarette, Click here!
All participating doctors agreed that e-cigarettes are a significantly more healthy alternative to conventional smoking.
The study’s outcome revealed that:
- 6% of smokers quit within two weeks increasing to 45% within eight weeks.
- 52% of all patients reported both increased levels of energy and visible improvement in their physical appearance
- When asked what factors about smoking tobacco cigarettes were the hardest to give up, 49% of patients said nicotine cravings and 24% the habit itself. Twenty-seven percent of all participating smokers said that a combination of all factors (the habit, nicotine, the taste and feeling of smoking) made it hard to quit.
- When asked if an e-cigarette could act as an agent to overcome all the physical and psychological challenges to quit tobacco smoking, all doctors said “yes”.
This is why the government, tobacco companies and the pharma companies do not want them legal, just the pharma companies stand to lose 2.3 BILLION a year with their stop smoking aids that only work for 2% of the people on average.
400,000 die each year in the U.S. alone. Death is big business for governments, pharma companies and tobacco.
The current federal take on taxes per pack of cigarettes is over $2.30 per pack. Not a bad income for killing people legaly!
