Advantages: It worked!

Disadvantages: None as yet

After 10 years of smoking dirty, disgusting roll-ups, I gave it one last attempt to give up...and guess what, it worked. It took a bout of the flu to aid my progress and one, tiny, tiny little device...the electronic cigarette - an invention making a huge splash in Japan; and something which will doubtless catch on massively in the next few years here in the UK.

The electronic cigarette is a simple device which looks like a cigarette but contains no tar or carbon monxoxide or several hundred other chemicals that normal fags contain. You charge it up, smoke it and voila. What it does contain is nicotine, the addictive substance in fags - but on its own, it isnt that as bad for you (it does still increase you heart rate). There is a trail of "smoke" that you blow from the electronic fag - but this is harmless water vapour.

You might expect to pay through the roof for this potentitally life-saving device...but you don't. Its available for £20 from miniciggy.com, plus various nicotine cartridges and chargers etc.

I gave up smoking using the electronic cigarette after several years of trying using other NRT (inhalers, patches etc). It worked for me, so can work fo you.

Summary: The electronic fag with no ill-effects
