I did it gradually using an electronic cigarette and slowly reduced the strength of the nicotine inside them until I was 'vaping' 0mg e-cigs. From there it was just quitting them all together which was easier than I thought! I've been cigarette free for 8 months and electronic cigarette free for 5 months. So I was only using my e-cig for 3 months in all. My advice, get a starter kit http://www.easyvape.co.uk/e-cig-kits-c-122 and quit smoking ASAP!!View Thread
