Its stright nicotine man. I smoked it for a few weeks and realized I was using it way more than regular cigarettes. There's no odor, so I would just lay in bed puffing on that thing all night, puff on it everywhere...in restaurants, wherever. It was easy to quit though once I decided to.

I went through a real health kick after that. Did p90x for like 9 weeks solid. Hardcore about it and eating right. I lost about 15 or 20 pounds and was pretty ripped. Wasn't drinking, smoking, or anything. Then I got burned out and went back to eating fast food every day, eventually started crushing liquor again, and now I'm back on cigarettes even. I've put on 20 lbs. since I quit the health kick. I'm still alright at like 175 so not too bad, but there's definitely some loose skin I'm getting sick of looking at again. Feel like im on the verge of another health binge.
 
For most I believe the cigarette has a built in laying off mechanism. As in when you smoke one you don't want another for a bit because there is a certain nastiness.
When you take nicotine in another form you may in fact get more and become even more addicted to it.
That's kind of what I feel happens to me with the gum. Now I'm addicted to both.
 
I think you're exactly right reno. I don't want another cigarette for about an hour after having one. You almost need your lungs to recover, and to get the nasty taste and smell out of you. None of that applies to the e-cig.

Spot on observation.

Nothing wrong with 175 and I am leaning towards the E Cig purchase.

Also leaning towards the P90x after this 6 week arm cycle. Downloaded it on a computer somewhere but never used it. It is very plyometric in nature right? Might be good pre-volleyball season stuff.
 
Plyometrics is just one day a week for a good portion of the program. You will not be able to complete it if you are a smoker. And least I don't think you could, not at their pace.

The first time I did the plyo (it's like the second or third day), I had to stop multiple times and literally thought I was going to puke. By about week 5 or 6 it was my favorite workout and I could go right along with them and even do the jumping jacks during the 1 minute breaks like he does. Now, I'd be back to puking I'm sure.

The worst and best was the yoga. I hated it, but it was a great workout. You really should commit to doing the whole program the way it's meant to be done if you are going to do it at all. A lot of pussies won't do the yoga for whatever reason, mostly because they hate it. They'll make excuses like it's gay or worthless, but it's really because it's fucking hard to do.
