General Comment:I was a 1 pack day smoker starting at age 15 by age 59 I was a 3 pack a day smoker. I tried all the over the counter smoking cessation items that have been available. I used several prescription medications and I tried hypnosis several times! NOTHING helped. Over the years I stopped smoking more times than I can count. Always to go back to smoking, and every time I would smoke more than I was before I stopped. Then came along Chantex, sounded like the miracle I was needing. 
Again, I stopped for a couple of months and went right back to smoking. Then came along the e cigarettes. So I bought one of those. It helped for a little while so I added Chantex again. September 3, 2010 I had my last cigarette. I am still using the 
e cigarettes (no nicotine). There is not a second of any waking day that I do not want a cigarette. Would I go back to smoking  again????? YES I WOULD. I have learned that smoking is nasty, the house, car, clothes and everything I am around stinks. Would I still go back to smoking???? Yes, but having my e cigarette keeps me from making that awful mistake. I do not believe that they are as harmful as nicotine and tar loaded cigarettes.  If e cigarettes can help anyone to stop smoking and stay stopped  it is has to be better for them. I do not understand why when we find something that works someone always has to try to eliminate it. There are way more serious problems that need to be addressed than this one. Please keep the comments open for 180 days.
