e-fags - anyone know anything about them

I smoked for 20 years (plus fooling around as a kid which doesn't really count as regular smoking). Stopped for 10 years. Started again for 2 years. Stopped for 1 year. Started again 3 months ago.

Patches, gum, mouthspray, lozenges don't work for me. The oldskool drugs did, first time around, but you're not allowed them twice. The newskool drugs gave me horrible dreams and turned me into a zombie, I gave them up but the fags at the same time and it lasted a year.

Lengthy pre-amble. But I can't do the month-plus no-concentration that comes with stopping cold turkey (which I *can* do, have done, I'm a total c**t for a week then behaviourally OK, but workwise I'm shot for a good month, can't focus on anything, then it slowly gets better).

Workwise I simply can't do that. Big reorg, lots of layoffs, need to be at my best. But hate stinking of fags and having to hide from the kids etc. Plus I run (very slowly!) and smoking as a runner is Not Great.

So my mind is turning to e-fags. I'd still be a nicotine addict, but all of the s**t that impacts your general health isn't in the e-fags and I wouldn't stink of them.

I have no clue where to look - internet searches find you the usual mix of "vaping" enthusiasts who go on about the flavours etc but what I want to know is for someone who smokes 15 Marlboro Lights a day, what kind of kit do I need credibly to replace that, and is it close enough to the real thing that I'm not going to be a c**t for a week then just relapse onto the fags again.

Anyone know anything?

Ta muchly.
