Remember the days when cigarette advertising was everywhere? Benson and Hedges cricket, the Marlboro man riding a horse into the sunset, models and yachts and the good life – smoking was in and all the cool cats were doing it.

Then along came science and ruined it all by telling us just how much damage we were doing to our bodies. That black lung cough after a heavy night kapping entjies? Not ideal, which is why you’re left with a few options to try and turn the tide.

If you’re in the boat that wants to quit smoking cigarettes but still enjoy the puff then we have two options for you, two stabs at turning your back on the nicotine monster once and for all. First up is the Nicolites Rechargeable Starter Kit and Five Cartomisers for R599 (43% off). Here’s what you need to know about this deal…

Kit contains:

Rechargeable battery
High strength tobacco cartomiser and one medium strength tobacco cartomiser
USB charger
A lifetime warranty on the Nicolites Rechargeable battery

Nicolite Tobacco cartomisers includes: 

Tobacco: Low, Medium and High Strength
Menthol: High Strength
Berry Blast: High Strength

If you’re really wanting to go all out, or maybe bringing a friend along for the ‘let’s quit together’ ride, you should be looking at the Vivid Two Pack Vapour e-Cigarette Starter Kits and 5 Liquids for R1 199 (44% off). Enjoy the moral support of a fellow smoker fighting the good fight with this beast and here’s what you’ll get:

Starter Kit includes:

Vivid CE4 Clearomiser
Five 10ml designed flavoured e-liquids – flavours may vary
Vivid rechargeable long life battery
USB Recharger

Flavours may include:

Apricot Peach
Berry Blast
Cinnamon Apple
Citrus Fruit
Classic Tobacco
Fruit Fusion
Golden Tobacco
Menthol Breeze
Pineapple Rock
Red Wings

I can’t pretend to know what Red Wings flavour tastes like but it’s got to be better than the Sunday morning Ash Tray Mouth flavour us smokers know about.

Go on with your bad self, join the vaping revolution and allow yourself the luxury of casting judgemental looks at those kicking it old school.
