7 Days with The Safe Cig
I’m a smoker. I know. It’s horrible. My Mother and Father smoked, many of my friends smoke. I didn’t want to give up the simple luxury I enjoyed. What I didn’t enjoy was the coughing, extra mucus, burned tobacco smell all around me, and a reduction in how food tastes and smells.
The history of smoking dates back to as early as 5000–3000 BC when the agricultural product began to be cultivated in South America; consumption later evolved into burning the plant substance either by accident or with intent of exploring other means of consumption. The practice worked its way into shamanistic rituals.Many ancient civilizations, such as the Babylonians, Indians and Chinese, burnt incense as a part of religious rituals, as did the Israelites and the later Catholic and Orthodox Christian churches. Smoking in the Americas probably had its origins in the incense-burning ceremonies of shamans but was later adopted for pleasure or as a social tool.The smoking of tobacco and various hallucinogenic drugs was used to achieve trances and to come into contact with the spirit world. – From Wikipedia
We all know I am a Freelance Web Designer / Programmer, and I came across a client offering a new smoking alternative, an e-cigarette, named The Safe Cig. Now hopefully he doesn’t read this, but I was skeptical. Not because it being called “The Safe Cig”, no no, but because it was a “electronic cigarette.”
This puzzled me as I read further about the product, with it not using combustion, how can it provide me the satisfaction I attain from a cigarette?
This is what The Safe Cig says:
Since there is no flame, there is no combustion taking place. This means you are instantly eliminating over 4,000 chemicals that are released from burning tobacco. No tar, no carcinogens, and the nicotine is optional. The Disposable Atomized Refills can even be ordered in varying strengths, giving some users the potential to wean themselves off of nicotine completely.
Ok great. Those are some nice benefits. Along with no smell, and flavoring, I was sold. I attained one from the Owner directly as we are currently working on the site for The Safe Cig.
I received it within a week, and this is where the miracle begins.
The first day after charging a full night I did not have a cigarette available to me, well, locally, I suppose I could have gone to the store. So I started the morning with The Safe Cig alone. I was pleasantly surprised the nicotine-added Atomizer satisfied my morning craving after about 6 hits. I then started my day, using the The Safe Cig when I felt I needed a “fix”, and normally during the course of the day while working I consume roughly 8-10 cigarettes in about an 8 hour period. The entire day I used The Safe Cig, without requiring a real cigarette.
Doing good so far!
Until I came to dinner. I had a nice meal with my girlfriend, which was more than I should have ate, and I was quite full. I look to The Safe Cig immediately for my after eating smoke. Ready to see it’s magic. I used it roughly 8 times, until I realized something amazing, I wasn’t really even interested in smoking anything after about 8 drags. Even after such a large meal. Which means it took less of The Safe Cig to satisfy one of my main smoking habits, smoking after eating. So throughout the evening I continued to use The Safe Cig until bedtime, where I usually stop smoking 2-3 hours before getting in bed to prevent the bad smell and taste.
So day 1 is complete. I actually went from a pack a day of cigarettes to just The Safe Cig. It may sound a bit far fetched, but I would place my name on it. I was just as amazed.
Tomorrow I will post day 2 of The Safe Cig series.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I am still trying to quit smoking cigarettes so support is always welcome.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for day 2 of The Safe Cig Series!
