More than money, it saves lives, too!

Everyone knows the common expression of the ex-smoker, "If I can quit, anyone can quit."  I've always wanted to be able to say this as encouraging words to someone who was trying to fight the "quit smoking" battle.  In order to say this, you first have to be quit yourself.

I started smoking at the age of 11.  Now, being 27, with a 5 year old of my own I often wondered why in the world I even started to begin with.  I have tried to quit smoking so many times and had no hope at all that I could quit.  That was until, SafeCig.

With SafeCig I am saving around $150 a month.  It's cheaper than cigarettes and my insurance through my work is cheaper because I am now a non-smoker.  I can go into places or out with my boyfriend and not worry about smelling like a perfumed ashtray.  I have even let my smoker friends try my SafeCig and they all are planning on getting one.

Even for former smokers!

I love the fact that I have been able to quit smoking regular cigarettes after trying the patch, gum and other means.  I have a health situation that mandates that I quit smoking, including a heart condition. My cardiologist has said that in moderation, a controlled nicotine e-cig in moderation would be no more harmful than caffeine from coffee. It gets rid of the carbon monoxide, tar, other carcinogenic chemicals and is much safer than smoking.  He also liked the idea that I could step down the amount of nicotine in the cartridges gradually.

Using the patch and gum did not work for me, but on January 5 I got my e-cig order and have not had a desire to smoke since. I "vape" my e-cig and it satisfies not only the nicotine craving, but also the "habit" of puffing on the cig and feeling the vapor "hit".  This is working when nothing else did for me.  Continue Reading

Hope that life will be beautiful, amazing, and filled with good health.

What I love about the Safe Cig is hope.  A restoration of hope that is crucial to every aspect of my life.  Hope that I can live my life tobacco free.  The hope of a long life without self-inflicted health problems from smoking.  Hope for my mother to be able to quit smoking when she already has numerous medical problems.  Hope that my future wife can easily put down cigarettes for the rest of her life after saying that she never would.

I have struggled with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.  I have tried to conquer my addictions and weaknesses ever since I was a kid.  After failing over and over, hope has dwindled with every defeat.  When I found the Safe Cig, I became filled with hope again.  Being smoke-free for one month today, this is the first time in a long time that I feel strong and in control of my life.  The ability to breathe better, not smell like an ashtray, and to save money are all great benefits from using the Safe Cig.  However, the reason that I love the Safe Cig is that it Continue Reading

A Love of The SafeCig, that is!

Electronic cigarettes are amazing and I'm not just saying that because I'm writing this blog. I've been an avid promoter and user of The SafeCig for almost a year. I placed my first order in May of 2011, but I didn't give up tobacco cigarettes immediately. I took my time learning about this product and how it worked. I also spent hours reading journals published world-wide to understand what medical professionals found with electronic cigarettes and their recommendations.

I was apprehensive to give up tobacco cigarettes after many failed quit attempts in the past. I didn't want The SafeCig to be another attempt that resulted in more things stuffed in a box, hidden in a closet a week or two down the road. I felt after many failed attempts at quitting that I just needed an alternative -- something without smoke, tar, and smell. When I was ready, really ready, I made the switch.

And I've never looked back.

For me, I've witnessed the first-hand changes that come with using an electronic cigarette instead of tobacco cigarettes. I've eliminated that morning smoker's cough, the wretched stench that lingered on my clothes, and I'm running again. Continue Reading

As a (former) smoker, I cannot begin to count the number of years I resolved to quit smoking. Actually, I can. I made that resolution my resolution for 15 years. I wasn't successful with every one of my attempts; or the attempts I made throughout the year. In fact, I was a "confirmed smoker" for much of that decade-and-a-half I spent hating every single cigarette I smoked. I tried it all: medications, patches, gums, lozenges, weaning down, cold turkey, hypnosis, and more. No matter what I tried, I ended up smoking again sometime down the road. And I hated every single minute I spent inhaling thousands of chemicals and half-dozen carcinogens. Continue Reading

Electronic Cigarette Kit

In an article released by USA Today covering a report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), electronic cigarettes have become a flaming subject once again.

The IOM stated in their report as written by Dr. Jane Henney, a professor of medicine and public health sciences at the University of Cincinnati and chairwoman of the Institute of Medicine committee, "These products are ones that might carry a claim that they have less risk to the user than a traditional tobacco product. We believe that if those claims are to be approved by the FDA, the sponsor will have to bring to the agency a series of data to support that claim." The report suggests that the FDA require testing in laboratories and animals, progressing into trails with people.

We agree. Continue Reading
