MrR has smoked ever since I knew him and for a few years before that, he started when he was about 15/16.  He has often said he would give up but has never really got past talking about it. Over the last few years MrR has made a complete life change and has lost over 5 stone and taken up exercising.  However the one thing that hasn’t changed is his ability to give up smoking.

This year he had talked about it and when we were offered the chance to try an e-cigarette by Smoke relief I asked him if he would be interested.  He immediately agreed and we waited on the delivery.  A parcel arrived very quickly and MrR after pysching himself up started to try the product.

MrR has said the pros are as below:

• using the e-cigarette feels like smoking
• It overcomes the need to smoke by having something to keep the craving under control
• It is easy to use and can be used indoors
• there are no side effects
• it is very compact and easy to keep with you.

His cons are as below:

• he found the flavoured cartridges very sickening
• it is easy to overuse
• there is no way to tell whether the cartridge is empty or full.

We were given a starter kit and cartridges for this review and have gone on to buy the deluxe kit as MrR found only have one unit to charge meant he ran out when out and about. MrR is now down to 5 real cigarettes a day from having at least 20 and his moods have been fine and he has noticed he can taste food better.

As MrR is not able to smoke indoors he loves that he no longer has to stand outside in the rain!

Using these is not only helping MrR cut down it is also saving us a lot of money!

We will be back to order more refills for next month.

disclosure we were sent these items to review but the opinions belong to MrR
