I know the initial success is great. The question is, will she be able to stay off cigarettes for good (and ecigs, too). Most ecig-users I know went back to cigarettes without hesitation when they forgot to bring extra liquid to the party and they got drunk. Even after years of abstinence from real cigarettes.
Everything anyone here will say is anecdotal of course.
- iamatworknow 10y agoI think (as someone who hasn't touched a cigarette in two years, and hasn't touched an ecig since February) that the most important part is that you have to taper down the nicotine content of the ecigs, otherwise you're just replacing one nicotine delivery system with another and not making any progress. The leap between being nicotine and tobacco free and a cigarette is far greater (mentally and physically) than between a nicotine supplement (ecigs) and a cigarette.
- vertex-four 10y agoOccasional relapse isn't actually a terrible thing. One cigarette every half a year isn't going to kill you, probably, or at least it's not going to kill you faster than all the other unhealthy things you do. If it's easy to switch back after you've had your relapse, the only real issue is with the all-or-none definition of quitting.
