I was a light smoker (a pack in 3 days) and hated that I was addicted to cigarettes. I tried nicotine gum and patch to help me quit but it didn't really work. Then I realized that I am more addicted to the act of having something in my hand blowing smoke then nicotine. I have switched to e-cigarettes and have moved to juice with 3mg nicotine. I feel much better overall and have quit regular cigarettes. I haven't looked at all the papers regarding e-cigarette's ill side effects but based on how my body feels, it is definitely better than regular cigarettes, no question about it.
