The Safe Cig Review by Kim

When I reached the fifty day mark two days ago, I knew I definitely had something to write about!  I’m excited about being tobacco free this long, for the first time in my life.

During the past month, I realized a few differences in my view of smoking.  First of all, I’m surprised at the number of people I see smoking, standing outside of businesses on their break, outside of stores, even outside of the gym!  I know that the majority of people who smoke really want to quit but just don’t know how (one statistic I read said this number was as high as 70%!).  When I first started the process to quit smoking, I was scared.  Scared of failure, scared that the product I was using would fail me, afraid that I wouldn’t have enough determination to follow through.  I think I eventually came to a place, that made me willing to try to quit, when I was MORE SCARED OF DYING as a result of using tobacco products and getting cancer.  Now, I’m shocked at the number of people that are still smoking when there are safer, healthier alternatives. continue reading…

It’s now been 27 days since I began using The Safe Cig and I’m so excited about the fact that I’m still tobacco free!  In a way it’s comical, I look at people when I see them holding a cigarette outside of the local store, and I have trouble relating.  It’s amazing how the human brain works, how quickly it allows us to unlearn a habit.  After all of those years I spent smoking, I don’t HAVE to reach for my pack of Marlboro’s first thing every morning, then go racing outside to have one.  What I do is this:  Carry on my daily life, fitting so many more things into each day, and I use the Safe Cig WHILE I’m going through my daily life, no matter where I am. continue reading…

Here are a few facts and statistics that I found while surfing the web:

“Every year, tobacco use kills more Americans than World War II and the Vietnam War combined. Tobacco related illnesses kill 440,000 US citizens per year.” (Centers for Disease Control. Cigarette Smoking Among Adults-United States, 2001. MMRW 2003; 52(40); 953-956.)

“Tobacco is the only product in the U.S. that causes death and disability when used as intended – the single, most preventable cause of death in the U.S. ” (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention & Health Promotion) continue reading…

Alright folks, I’m at the end of day 22 with no tobacco use- let me share with all of you who are still a slave to those cigarettes- IT’S NOT DIFFICULT TO QUIT TOBACCO USING THE SAFE CIG.

The most difficult part of quitting smoking is fear of the unknown.  I remember that familiar old feeling of panic when I knew I was getting down to my last few cigarettes and thinking about how I should schedule those last few.  Should I only smoke one tonight and save the rest for morning, or should I just make a quick trip to the store right now?  That may be a question that you, as a smoker, are familiar with.  I can speak from experience on both sides of this fence.  I made many late night trips to the store solely for that pack of cigarettes.  I was a slave to my addiction to tobacco for more years than I was tobacco free in my lifetime.  I can’t believe that I made it so hard to quit. continue reading…

At the time that my son was in first grade he became aware that smoking is bad for you.  From age 5 and forward, he was aware of the health risks and continuously asked me to stop smoking.  His perception was that I would light a “bad cigarette” and fall over dead on the spot.  He knew that smoking caused heart attacks, strokes, and cancer from things that he was taught at school, and also different things he’d picked up in society or on TV.

There were times that I’d tell him, “Buddy, mom’s going outside to smoke quick,” and he would look like he was literally holding his breath from the time that I walked outside until I returned safely after that cigarette.  He told me recently that he’s worried about my smoking ever since he can remember.  One of the questions that he used to ask me was- “Mom, don’t you want to be here to see me grow up?” continue reading…

Today was a bit of a stressful day for me and that same old desire that I used to have while smoking cigarettes kicked right in.  I wanted to chain smoke.  There were a few major differences between using The Safe Cig and smoking my favorite old Marlboros that I noticed today.

Studies show that when nicotine is inhaled it reaches the brain by way of our bloodstream in mere seconds after we inhale it, causing the release of chemicals that cause a feeling of euphoria or pleasure.  Our adrenal glands receive this dose of nicotine releasing adrenaline to our system and acting as a stimulant.  Nicotine in large quantities tends to inhibit or block those same chemical responses that our body experiences which then creates a chemically induced calming effect.

The most notable difference that stood out to me today was this:  continue reading…

Eighteen days of using The Safe Cig and I’m completely amazed at the results.  I’ve never been as satisfied with a nicotine replacement method, or used one that was this effective.  My cravings for tobacco have completely diminished, which even surprised me, I’ve been let down so many times by failed attempts and ineffective alternatives that I truly began using The Safe Cig with no high hopes or expectations.

At this point in the past, using any other quitting smoking aid, I’d usually given up.  Nothing has worked this well for me in the past for this length.  I am completely convinced that this method will eliminate tobacco cigarettes from my life completely.   continue reading…

Since the twentieth of March, when I began using the safe cig product, I’ve made remarkable progress.

I began by using the 18 mg atomized “filters” and expected to use one per day, as I had been smoking one pack or more of normal Marlboro brand cigarettes.  Today was my 14th day of using this product.  I had no intention of trying to reduce my nicotine intake while adjusting to The Safe Cig, but as of today, have used 7 of the full strength atomizers.   continue reading…

On day four I began to breath easier, more deeply, and I felt as though I had more energy.  The more I’ve researched in the past week, I found scientific proof that supported what I was experiencing.  My oxygen levels have begun to increase.  The tightness in my chest and lungs from congestion has eased and I am able to take deeper breaths.  I don’t feel lethargic like I did after I used to smoke.  My voice is becoming less raspy.  I don’t cough in the morning when I first wake up, and my constant “smoker’s cough” has begun to go away. continue reading…

By the third day of using The Safe Cig, I realized that some of my daily routines would have to change if I wanted to be successful.  I could no longer take a step away from whatever my activity was to take that “smoke break” outside.  This was a little challenging because that change of scene had become so big a part of my routines.  Each time I used The Safe Cig, I didn’t feel the complete satisfaction that I had while stepping outside to smoke.  What I did was concentrate on the additional time that I had at whatever project I was working on, and made an effort to appreciate the added convenience of  being able to smoke while staying focused on those projects.  Within a day or two, I was able to fully adjust to my new routine, and really put that extra time to use! continue reading…
