I’m a smoker. I have been for years. Every time I have tried to quit, something has happened that’s gotten me started back up (Since my last attempt, I’ve said I would never quit again, so there would be no more major catastrophes in my life). However, today while walking through the local mall, I came across the Smoking Everywhere e-Cigarette, and I think this may be the tool that finally helps me kick the nasty habit that’s left me sore, more susceptible to colds and bronchitis, and with the beginnings of smoker’s cough – not to mention with a car that smells like cigarettes and clothes that do, too.

Today is Day One. I smoked my last cigarette about three hours ago, and my new e-cigarette is currently on the charger. I was told it would take about an hour to full recharge and be ready for use.

The kit was pricey – my boyfriend and I got the two kit special, so we each spent about $85 on it (regularly $100). Cartridge refills cost $10, and each comes with five tips – each of which is equivalent to a pack of cigarettes. That means, instead of spending $7 on a pack, I’m down to spending $2. I started with the high nicotine cartridges, but every flavor (including the strawberry, coffee, and other novelty flavors) comes in high, medium, low, and no nicotine, making it easy to step down my intake, and, hopefully, quit altogether someday. I’ll be revisiting this product regularly, updating everyone on my progress as I commit to quitting. If it works, it’ll be the best $100 I’ve ever spent. Wish me luck!
