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:  I was able to step back from the situation that was causing my increased stress and just lay back on my bed, using my Safe Cig in a non-smoking home.  I did not continue to experience the desire to “chain smoke” in the same way that I had in the past while smoking tobacco cigarettes.  This was partially due to the fact that I was already in a comfortable setting where I usually find the most relaxation.  Although I did use The Safe Cig more today than I do on average, I was still satisfied and relaxed much more quickly than in the many years that I have picked that pack of Marlboros up when I faced similar feelings of anxiety.

Other added bonuses were: although I did use The Safe Cig more than usual, my lungs are still clear, my throat isn’t sore, and I didn’t waste an additional $8.50 or more by having to purchase an extra pack of smokes in order to get through the unpleasant events that I was facing.  My self confidence was through the roof!  I realized that I really have found something that will work for me in any situation and I lost all doubt of The Safe Cig  becoming another failed attempt to quit smoking.

I am amazed simply by the fact that over nineteen days, I have saved $140 by not purchasing cigarettes and using electronic nicotine replacement.  I didn’t even factor in the time that I used to spend driving to the store to buy cigarettes, or the gas money spent in getting there!  Those facts alone speak volumes but in parting for the day, let me also add that I’ve lost ten pounds since I quit smoking which I mainly contribute to my increased energy level.
