E-cigarettes/Vapour Cigarettes

I'm wondering if anybody that is/has been a smoker has used the e-cigarettes or vapour cigarettes? I quit smoking 14 months ago, but still get cravings...mostly out of behaviour I'm sure. So, a friend had suggested the vapour cigarette. It contains a very minimal amount of nicotine (6-24mg)...has anybody tried this? I'm scheduled for surgery on May 2... If I occasionally use this method, will it effect my surgery? Just looking for information. 

TIA,

Jen

Hey Jen:

I quit smoking 4 years ago and I still get the odd craving, usually when I smell somebody smoking a fresh cigarette.  I would be afraid that using the vapour cigarettes would just be a new habit to get rid of. 

Just my thoughts

I would not suggest it, because it does have nicotine in it. Even the smallest amount of nicotine can put the old habit back into you. Believe me I know its hard. I quit after 31 years of smoking to have this surgery. Please, you have made it this far, just munch on a carrot when you get a craving. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! 

Actually you know, you can not buy the nicotine ones in Canada, that I last knew, when I was quitting I used Vapo cigs... they have various flavors Grape was my favorite but it was jus****er vapor that gave the motion of smoking but nothing else. This may be an option.

Good Luck!!

I would check with HRRH before just in case. I quit smoking august 16, 2011 and was very blessed to have never wanted a cigarette again.

Dont bother.... read "the easy way to quit smoking by alan carr"... you wont want to smoke anymore...

Nicotine affects healing... and you have already quit.  I wouldn't do it.
