    Should I start smoking e-cigarettes?

    This might sound strange as I haven't smoked in years and even then I was a light smoker who could pack up at will. About once every two years I would have a cigarette while drinking and feel awful the next day but I do miss the action of smoking.

    I've now discovered that you can actually get e-cigarettes that don't even have nicotine so that would fulfil the 'action' without the harm ... but I wonder if it might be a slippery slope ... what do you think?

    I am not sure what it is but the action itself suggest that you still have the urge to smoke. My father was a chain smoker once and when he stopped smoking, he literally stop. The smell of cigarette sicken him. I suggest if you want to stop. Stop. It may easy for me to say because I don't smoke but if this would make you to stop smoking, then ...I will say it.:-)

      But I have stopped really and apart from the odd one I haven't smoked with any regularity for over ten years... I just miss the action and the 'pause' that a cigarette gives

    No. absolutely not. Tried, containing nicotine and it was gross tasting. Rather have a real cig. E cigs do not help quit smoking regular cigs. Have been quitting and now, even if have 3 cigs - next day feel like crap. Yes I'm re-quitting. Keeping track. Everytime I smoke, next day feel heavy in the chest or sore throat.
