I thankfully never got into it, but have seen some friends from the yard switching to the e-cigarettes. they start with menthol and high nicotine levels and then gradually lowers the nicotine level on each fill up. a starter pack is only $14 at the gas station, rechargeable, and refills are $3 a peice. they said it helped them quit for good, maybe you scrapper friends should atleast try it out
