Great New Product to Quit Smoking
A friend of mine was raving the other day about a product that she had heard of called the Njoy Electronic Cigarette. She started smoking when she was in high school (I met her last year when we were juniors in college) and she did it mainly because she wanted to be cool and because she thought that ‘everyone was doing it'. However, people stopped doing it because it turns out smoking doesn't really make you cool; it just makes you sick and smelly. Unfortunately, she couldn't stop. So she spent the next few years going on and off between smoking a pack a day, to going cold turkey to smoking heavily again and then trying to stop using different methods.
She tried the patch first. She said that it would fall off and was uncomfortable to have on her all of the time and she would forget to change it. Also, she was used to having something in her mouth so it wasn't a good transition for her. Next though she tried the gum, which she said worked really well for her for a few months and then she would get headaches from chewing so much and it turned out that the gum was almost (or more even sometimes) as expensive as actually smoking was (so she decided to save her money ha for something she liked better I guess) and started smoking again.
She also tried hypnotizing which she decided was an absolute crock and a waste of time and money. So finally she read about this Electronic Cigarette thing. She heard that it was basically the same as smoking but without all of the harmful aspects that came along with it.
This Electronic Cigarettes didn't have tar in it or nicotine. It also didn't smell or make her clothes, breath or couch and furniture reek. And most importantly it didn't have negative health effects for her or for others around her (second hand smoke is a huge issue now). And since smoking has been ban in a lot of public places now, she was able to use these without getting in trouble.
They still taste the same and feel the same so it is a great way to ease yourself out of the smoking habit and they aren't nearly as expensive as smoking actually is.
So she has been smoke free for a while own and even though she is taking it one day at a time, she really is making a ton of progress and we really are proud of her. She is definitely recommending it to other people she knows who are trying to quit.
