    This is all about thumb sucking or needing to suck some stranger off isn't it.
    The point is that they do have nicotine.

    I haven't told my family that I finished the Champix 3 weeks ago, they think it is the tablets fault that I am a moody, bad tempered tw@t.

    Any tips for making the transition ?

    Struggling, especially with mornings.

    I used to use one. Put me right off fags so now I don't smoke anything now out of protest.

    Thanks e-fags.

    Thanks chaps.

    Just need to exercise a little bit of willpower. Been smoking for 30 years.

    Got a mate who bought his first one at the same time as me 9 months ago and hasn't smoked a real one since. I've been on and off it for a while now and usually buy ten in the morning and am ok on the e-fag from mid afternoon until next morning.

    Will just need to keep at it

    I (now occasionally) use the Tesco rechargeable ones. I was a pack-a-day chap until March 15th. I had been in town a fortnight prior for the Wales-France match and saw some people using them inside the bar and had a go on one and figured - Great now I can smoke inside too.

    Bought one a fortnight later (Wales-Scotland) and haven't touched a real cig since. Now I just use it in the evening if I have a drink.

    I tried the refillable ones but they seemed to leak and generally too much faff.

    You still need the will power to break the routine of having a smoke with your first coffee/tea of the day.

    The type of E-Cig you use make a difference as well. She tried the ones that are meant to look like cigarettes first and they really didn;t work. She's using one of the "Vaping" style ones now that you fill with liquid.
