Halo Kit - The smokers angel

I recently received a mini halo kit that i was lucky enough to win on twitter. I will add before i start that i didn't have to do a review, i was never asked and i always give my 100% honest opinion.

The reason i have chosen to give a review of this product is because of how brilliant the kit is and how in this day and age of ever increasing cigarette costs the Ecigarette works out much cheaper and you are able to smoke in places that you usually wouldn't be able to.



The above photo isn't mine and if from ecigarettedirect.co.uk but it shows you what the Smoker's mini halo kit consists of.


At the time of posting the Mini Halo kit is on offer for £14.99 


The HALO MINI Electronic Cigarette:

What you get:

    * 1 HALO lithium battery
    * 1 USB charger
    * 1 Silver e-cigarette case
    * 2 Refills
    * Manual
    * First Class Shipping (free on orders over £39.99, otherwise £2.99)



My husband has used the kit and over five days use has cut down on smoking normal cigarettes considerably and hopefully soon will move over to the Ecigarette permanently. While the Ecigarette does contain Nicotine is does not contain tar or the hundreds of other chemicals that can be found in normal cigarettes. Another plus is there is no smell when smoking them and no risk to others of passive smoking. This is the closest you can get to smoking a normal cigarette but as you can see has alot more advantages to it. Next week i will be purchasing a kit for myself..yes it really is that good!

A quote from their own website.
The e-cigarette is a device designed to simulate the process of smoking. It looks like a cigarette, and the end lights up when you inhale, but avoids many of the harmful effects of ordinary cigarettes. So how does it work?
The white end of the e-cig is the lithium battery container. Two of these are provided, so you should never be without your e-cigarette.
The brown end is the cartridge. Inside is a liquid which contains nicotine, propylene glycol (also used to make stage smoke) and an atomiser which heats up the liquid to create vapour.
What you inhale is not smoke, but vapor containing nicotine. However, when you exhale the vapor is present – and closely resembles smoke.
When you inhale, you activate the electronic circuits contained within the electronic cigarette. This initiates the vaporization process - and makes the end of the cigarette glow red. When you cease inhaling the vaporization will finish, with the cigarette returning to standy mode. The cigarette is battery operated, and can be recharged using the equipment provided.
The nicotine itself is contained in cartridges, which come in strengths of extra-high, high, medium, low - and zero strength.

Trying to quit

I am trying my best to quit smoking at the moment. It's the one true bad habit i have. I don't drink anymore and even when i did it was usually just the odd one or two vodkas to wind down in an evening on a Friday or Saturday night. *I think this may have something to do with having a few too many in my younger days and then throwing up all over my friends brother who was chatting me up at the time. *cringe moment*

However i was never addicted to drinking, and smoking is a much harder habit to break than i imagined. Most of my family are non smokers so why i felt the need to sneak off with a friend and have a couple of puffs when i was just eleven i will never really know. We did it on two occasions that i remember and i never touched them again till i reached the age of fourteen. My foster sister was older and more outgoing than me and she smoked. When she first offered me one i took it. I wanted to fit in, i hadn't long arrived and i didn't want to be the odd one out.I coughed and spluttered and her and her friend laughed. I remember feeling embarrassed so i made it my mission over the next few weeks to learn to smoke. I always looked older so buying them was never a problem. After the first week it began to get easier. The coughing my lungs up stopped and i began smoking like a pro. Me and my foster sister started making it a regular thing where we would go out for a walk and a ciggy and at the time it felt good to be accepted.

However now i am 18 years older and have realised i want need to quit. Not just for myself but for my family. Though i really wish it wasn't so damn hard. The patches are good, they stop my foul "i need a ciggy" mood but the 24 hour patch seems to only do me any good for the first 8 hours. Oh and just for a bit of info:- Don't ever leave the patches on for longer than recommended. I did and ended up with it burning my skin and blistering. I fully admit this was my fault. I left it on for 8 hours longer than it should of been. A very stupid mistake which i won't be making again.

Anyway, i will quit smoking. It will be a struggle and i know that for me it won't be an overnight process but i am hopeful that in the not too distant future i will be able to put smoking behind me.

Have you ever given up something? Do you have a bad habit you want to break?
