Three months ago she got one of those e-fag things. After two weeks she

She gave the e-fag to me.
I have been a very heavy smoker for 45 years, and I LIKED it.
I've not had a snout for six weeks and do not want one. There is a
pack of
unopened snouts in the house.
Shirley this must be worth a try?

Did the e-fag just make you realise how pointless it all was?

My Mum smoked 20-40 a day from the age of 14 till she was 60, when she
simply said that she couldn't afford it now she'd retired. No
recidivism, no apparent craving. Maybe like her, you were never really
addicted, it was just habit and perhaps a little belligerence.

Mind you, she still died of lung cancer, which was very nasty.

Don't under estimate the chemical addictiveness of nicotine.


Indeed. I gave up the cigs (roll ups) in 2008 and I'm still on lozenges.
Not many - I get through a couple of 2mg a day, broken into 4. So
probably not that high a dose, and the stuff the nicotine is suspended
in is probably more harmful ;-)
