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…

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…

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…

Hello, my name’s Kim, I’m a little new at using a blog, but I wanted to be able to share my story,  day by day, while I quit smoking cigarettes.

Let me give you some background:

I started smoking at the age of 15.  I never really worried about the effects of smoking on my health throughout my late teens and early twenties.  I was very aware that all of the additives in cigarettes were harmful to my body, but I just ignored those facts as if they didn’t apply to me.  I’ve been pregnant twice, both times, I quit smoking cold turkey the day I found out for sure.  Both times after the birth of my sons, I started right back up as soon as I was home from the hospital.  For some reason, a baby was a good and worthy reason to stop smoking, but my own health was not.  For the past few years, I averaged around a pack per day, sometimes less and sometimes a little more given what my activities or stress level were.  I’ve smoked for the better part of 16 years, the last few, reluctantly. continue reading…
