Electronic cigarettes: I quit 3 years ago but I still need nicotine - is this normal?
The most important thing is not to start smoking again. That's why it's best to vapourize with a sufficient dose of nicotine and for as long as necessary to avoid withdrawal symptoms and the urge to have another cigarette. However, as e-cigarettes are not devoid of health effects, it is preferable to stop smoking altogether. This may require addressing the problem of nicotine dependence with other substitutes, such as patches.
