I am stubborn to the core and really thought they would carry me away in a pine box with smoke coming out of it cause i'd find a way to smoke when i left here.
But, it's been on my mind a lot. Number one cancer runs strongly in my family and i had a recent scare myself and thank God i am ok. Number two i'm a respiratory nurse (you'd think i'd know better) and three omg the cost!!!!!
Today i made a huge leap. Today i bought electronic cigarettes. I honestly didn't give it much hope. I thought it would be like so many other things in life which has been a disappointment when it came down to helping me quit.
However, i'm BLOWN AWAY. These things ROCK. They are strongggggg even stronger than the brand i smoked. They are non toxic to the air and people around me. I am still getting the nicotine but not the carbon monoxide and not the tar. I really believe i could totally do this and not pick up my pack anymore. Huge surprise as to the taste and feel.
It is a start right? Am i a non smoker now? I feel like i am but i feel like i'm cheating with the e-ciggs. Either way it has GOT to be better than what i was doing, right?

Congrats on the first step!
And yes, you are just as much a non-smoker as anyone who uses the patch, the gum, or the lozenge.
CONGRATULATIONS MISS NON-SMOKER!!!!!!
