I know what you’re thinking…another post where Laura tries an aid to stop her smoking and another failed attempt. Well, you’d be right if I’m honest. I am still smoking (and trust me, I am very ashamed of that) but I have cut down to the point where I am smoking less than I ever have done since I first made the mistake of starting and it is largely in part to the latest device I’ve been testing out- the iCig from electronic cigarette (c/o).

Apoligies, but an e-cigarette is never going to be the prettiest thing to post. However this done win bonus points for the best looking one I’ve tried. What I especially liked is that everything is contained in a handy box, that and the fact it came with a variety of flavours to try so you can get a feel for what is going to suit you best.

The starter kit claims to be quick and easy to get going with and really it is, it couldn’t be any easier. Each refill is the equivalent of 20 cigarettes so it also works out much cheaper than smoking the real thing (and I don’t know how harmless/harmful these are but they have to be safer than a traditional cigarette, right?).

I might not have completely quit yet but I am already feeling the benefits of smoking less, and since I’ve had this kit since way before Christmas (yes, I am horrendously tardy with this post) I’ve found myself barely reaching for this either…I quite simply don’t want to smoke in any shape or form any more and I am hoping beyond hope that the next time I write a post about the filthy habit it’s one to say I’ve done it!
