I went on to e-cigs and because I was relocating to "the jungle" where I am now I bought up stocks of batteries, atomisers, filters, e-liquid and whatever else.
These hundreds of pounds worth of kit are now lying redundant in a corner of my office, I gave up e-cigs after 6 months and if ever I get the urge I have all this equipment in the corner of my office ... Three years so far and no such urge!
But being addicted to e-cigs is OK because all it is is nicotine and nicotine never killed anybody, it's all the other sh1t in real cigarettes that kill and those are not present in e-cigs and spending the monetary value of one packet of real cigarettes every month or so ... well e-cigs are a bargain!
Sorry if I defend and speak highly of e-cigs but they served their purpose of curing me of a lifelong addiction that I believed I would never quit ... Well done the Chinese
