I've had a ecig since NYE and I've probably had 20 real cigs since, my Mrs is/was the heaviest smoker I know she would do 35/40 a day use any excuse she would saying she was stressed and needed a cig. She would panic if she only had 5 cigs in the house at bedtime incase she needed a cig during the night, she would often ask me to call and get her 10 even though she would have a 20 packet unopened in the house, she would even take them out of the packet and hide them around the house so she knew she had some incase she ran spare or use that as a excuse to buy some because it looked like she didn't have many in her packet. She even went to the stop smoking clinic and came back with loads of patches but she alway had a excuse to keep putting it off when to start using them( they are still unopened in her kitchen cupboard). I got her a ecig when I got mine and again she had every excuse why she couldn't use it, but she's finally getting use to it and is down to about 10 a day now. Like other people say I never have my ecig out or my mouth now
