When giving up smoking, many people find that the hardest part is knowing what to do with their hands. Although missing the nicotine can be difficult, there are pills, gum and patches that can help that to be easier. However, having something to hold and even to smoke can be difficult.
This is why many people choose to use electronic cigarettes. They can feel similar to smoking and you can put nicotine in them at different strengths so you can slowly wean yourself off. You can even get them with different flavours so you can enjoy the vapours more.
One big advantage of this over actually smoking is that the nicotine only goes in to the mouth and throat and not in to the lungs. It also has no tar to clog the lungs either. Obviously, giving it up completely is more healthy, but it is a good in between stage while you get used to the idea of giving up smoking. Many people find that they help them to give up smoking by helping them to both control their cravings and remove the sense of loss that they get when they are no longer smoking.
There has been some controversy over electronic cigarettes with people thinking they look too realistic and make people think they can use them and smoke but in a healthy way. However, they are not marketed in this way and they are merely to be used as a tool to help quit smoking. There are no claims that they are completely healthy, just that they can help you to give up. Therefore they are a step towards being free of smoking and so can be extremely useful to anyone wanting to give up.
There are many brands, designs and flavours which means that there is something for everyone and so you are likely to find one that you like. It could be a big step in the right direction with regards to giving up smoking and help you to a smoke free life and all of the benefits that that will bring for you.
