Most Bizarre Thing at CES 2008? The NJOY Electronic Cigarette

[OttO28]

unlike the patches and the chewing gum, the e-cig appears to give the user access to nicotine while also allowing them to participate in the associated "hand to mouth" ritual.

addiction is an odd thing and when your body associates the pleasure it gets from the nicotine with the physical gesturing used when smoking it would not be hard to believe there is a psychological connection that takes place between the two events that intertwines them. the patch and gum can not satisfy a smoker in the same way that a pseudo cig can in my opinion.

would be interesting to hear what others think...

Smoking is for a large part very psychological, especially if you've been doing it for a longer period of time. I started carrying toothpicks with me after I didn't have the nicotine craving anymore. Else I just have the feeling there's something missing and the "I know I was supposed to do something" feeling.

With toothpicks I distract the brain from sending those signals, because there already is something in my mouth, can't have two things in there!

interesting, ive heard of lollipops but never toothpicks.

i havn't had a cigarette since last october (rarely smoked unless shooting dice at the casino). i hope the e cig can help lots of those who are ready to quit for good.
