Day 1 of my electronic cigarette challenge
Hi welcome to my blog, today is the 2/11/2012 and after smoking for many years and I can tell you at my peak I can smoke at 40 cigs a day.
The reasons I want to give up smoking is for a number of reason first and foremost Price!!!!!! the costs of a packet of 20 cigs is now nearly £8.00!!!!!!

£8.00 per packet
Having worked out the numbers my smoking habit is going to be costing me a whopping £3,000 per year if I continue to smoke on average of 20 a day. So today is the day I decide to say NO THANK YOU........
Considering I we have not had a family holiday in a few years I think this is a pretty selfish amount of money to spend on cigs when I have three beautiful children and a nagging wife who would all love a holiday. ( Only joking shes wonderful really)
Ok thats the costs covered. What else am I going to gain.??

Well it goes without saying the health benefits, to which I am not going to go into great detail here as everyone knows the dangers of smoking and if you dont you have been living under a rock for far to long.
My main concern is fitness side of the health aspect, I get out of breath very quickly and would love to run around with my kids more without saying hang on mo kids your dads knackered!!! which i frequently do :(

So how am I going to do it?
Well as you may already have guessed I am going to try an electronic cigarette and here are my reasons for trying one.
1. Tried will power and found out that I do not have any
2. Patches tried them and lasted 3 hours and now use them as plasters with benefits.
3. Hypnosis - Tried this method twice in my life time and really just wasted money on having a nice relaxing sleep for half an hour in some strangers house.
So just in case you have not guessed it already I am going to be using an electronic cigarette to aid my giving up process.
Now I tried a disposable one not so long along ago and I have to say I wasnt impressed! However just last week I bumped into a friend who had a expensive looking model that you have to refill and after testing his I have decided that this would be the tool to help me stop smoking.
For those that do not know how and electronic cigarette works let me explain, It contains just nicotine and which you inhale via a vaper and this is supposed to stop your craving for a cig. I will explain in greater detail if my challenge lasts
So its day one and so far I have gone all day without a cig. Hopefully i will carry on so I will be able to update this blog tomorrow. speak soon wish me luck.
