I started smoking again after not smoking for 20 yrs.! it was during a manic episode and that was about 12 yrs ago. I went along time without smoking, addicted to the lozenges. But another manic episode did that in again. Problem is that when I try to quit now, I get absolutely crazy with rage. it is not the urge to smoke that stops me it is the rage. I have a 16 yo son at home who is very sensitive and I cannt do that to him. so I got desparate and bought an electronic cigarette, and just got it in the mail today. Two questions, any one here trying to quit that has BP disorder. Anyone here tried with any sucess with this nicotine inhaler?? I need help, it is gonna ruin my life. I work as a masage therapist and cant smell like smoke and worry about getting short of breath when I had to work hard, as i do medical massages and it is a work out for me. I love my job and dont want to jepardize it. any help would be appreciated gratefully. ty

Just curious if any one here has tried Ironology Iron Block? Says it helps with iron saturation and ferritin levels.
