The Safe Cig Review by Kim

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…

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…

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…
