I don't totally agree with this, not to cause a commotion but just personal opinion, as everyone does personal research /study. Dr Google can be a fibber.People who quit cold turkey don't annoy me. It's the ones who insist that since they quit cold turkey, anyone can.
Here's the thing, some people are addicted to the nicotine, some are addicted to the MAOI's in tobacco, and some are addicted to both. If a person is only addicted to the nicotine, three days of tobacco abstinence is enough to break the habit. If you are addicted to the MAOI's or the MAOI's and nicotine, it's much, much harder to break the cycle.
Add in the hand to mouth habit, and things get even rougher. There are special e-liquids for people with MAOI addiction, called WTA (whole tobacco alkaloid) e-liquids. Those contain the full spectrum of tobacco alkaloids, not just the nicotine (major alkaloid) that makes up 95% of the alkaloid content in cigarettes.
If you quit smoking, picked up vaping, and still find yourself craving 'something more,' it's a good sign that you are also addicted to the anti-deppressants (MAOI) in cigarettes.
Sorry for the long winded technical post. Most people don't care about or understand this stuff.
The formaldehyde in e-cigs argument is spurious. It was based on bad research and has been thoroughly debunked. As a side note, and completely unrelated, were you aware that the human body naturally produces formaldehyde? It is essential for the production of some basic biological materials, such as certain amino acids. Amino acids are necessary for important life processes as they are the building blocks of proteins in the body.
Ah geez.What absolute rot.
Apologies for this debate Dr. T if you need any advice/samples etc just PM and I'll sort it out for you.Considering the OP's health problems and his need to stop smoking I'd say this isn't the place for arguments about ecigs.

Regarding e-cigs or what I like to call plastic cigarettes, will it be another several years till were force told of the subsequent dangers? One striking concern is the inhalation of Formaldehyde.
If I asked are you stopping sugar and the response was yes I'm using sweeteners you can appreciate the similarities that can be drawn.
Nicotine is present in a given concentration, do you have the original article outlining anti-depressant amid smoking cessation and its confirmed concentration amongst brand batch? It seems to me concentration levels would not be confirmed.
My reasoning would be considering precentage absorption (sublingual/transdermal) how the rate of delivery is affected by heat and batch production. How addiction can be separated from the nicotine addiction given no definite readings of either within an individual's blood stream. How the psychological aspect is defined between two psychological stimulants and finally the complexity and part unknown composition of a cigarette and how this alters chemical state. Throw in user's conditions, heat/moisture/age of cigarette(s); cannot be factorised to a absolve the two from each other IMO.
Not to knock e-cigs, but do you ever see them on prescription, or through smoking cessation via your Pharmacist/GP programs? Or even the health benefits portrayed over the counter/packaging No? Perhaps because the NHS after considering this as a cheaper option were not consolidated in their opinions, law suits are expensive. Where it is sold is a business, when asked we say it is not a good alternative to a cigarette.
Wow sorry this got ridiculously long especially for a Sunday
Dr. T sorry for the negative outlook but in reality congrats. The hardest part is starting the cycle to stop, then its breaking the cycle to never have to start to stop again. Whatever method is aiding this is useful in stopping cigarettes. Just don't let marketing sugar coat it.
Oh wow really, I never knew this, would it be a particular brand being prescribed, as I can't imagine a generic version. If as you say regulations are met, in the future if a component has proven negative health effect, law cases would be flying around like pigeons!Nishy sorry but the Formaldehyde you are referring too is only created when a unsuitable device is ran at a high power, this produces a terrible disgusting taste and is like smoking the filter of a cigarette and saying look at all these chemicals that cigarettes give off we never knew about. If your stupid enough to do this its darwins law in effect.
There was been at least once ecig now licensed under medical regs now and this was very recent (that's why not on prescription as none had the mhra license) as from next year you will see these as a available prescription item.

The aldehydes we are considering, have approx a million forms, in relation to certain flavours these can become cytotoxic at higher or lower temperatures having effect on the user. I believe from previous links a particular coffee flavoured aldehyde exhibited this. Benzene rings cannot be totally uniform with regards to one flavour, surely isotopes exist. Budget controls this quality no? I do appreciate that with the Magnetic Resonance it does identify the forms. Also the high heat test that was conducted wrongly with respect to users was just dumb.
