E-Cigarettes as an alternative to smoking tobacco?

mom — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:02:58 +0000

I got a bunch of feedback from all you readers on the quit smoking topic. Thank you! It is fair to summarize that no mom wants to smoke while pregnant or while around their kids. But some don’t manage to get off their addiction and it really is a heavy burden to them.

Many managed to quit smoking by using patches or they simply went cold turkey once they found out that they are pregnant. One reader shared that she switched to electronic cigarettes and stated that she is still addicted to nicotine but no longer feels like she is really smoking. She said that she read a lot of reviews and that she is really convinced that electronic cigarettes are a good alternative.

So I did my own research and found this site with thousands of electronic cigarette reviews. It looks like some people are not happy with it because of taste or battery issues. But most reviews are very positive and some of the users of such smokeless devices are even ecstatic about electronic cigarettes and believe that e-cigarette saved their life!

In any case, the best thing to do is to never start smoking and then of course if you are a smoker quit smoking as soon as possible.
