I’ve tried everything there is to try to stop smoking. Some of them successful in the short term. But they were never a replacement for smoking. Just make you forget about it for a while. So I’d always end up back on the cigs sooner or later.
But I’ve been on the heated tobacco for a few years now. To start with I’d still have a few cigs when I was drinking. But for the last couple of years I’ve not touched a real cig and actually prefer them. I could never get that with a vape.
They’re not cheap mind. In fact they’re no cheaper than buying duty frees.
Who knows how bad they are for you? All I know is I’ve not had a cough in about two years. Whereas for the previous 40 years whilst smoking I was forever coughing my ring up.
