I can't make Patti do anything, but I do need clean feedback to make that program as effective as possible. That's a very important program, and it could quite literally save lives. Making it effective for everyone who uses it is a high priority for me. Consequently, so is feedback that is clean.
I'm not entirely sure what to think of electronic cigarettes. I have seen people quit with them, and I have seen people get themselves even more addicted to nicotine by relaxing and using higher dosages of it because "it's electronic". I doubt Patti would do that, but nicotine is nicotine, regardless of how you get it. We're trying to kill that. I also am not so sure Patti's subconscious is going to tell her to use an electronic cigarette, or if it does, what its motives would be (as it seems resistant to changing this situation). Regardless, again, I cannot make her do anything. I can only do my best with what I have to work with.
I'm not sure that her using an electronic cigarette would really make much difference with my program, unless she chooses to use a higher dose of nicotine than she would normally get. On the other hand, electronic cigarettes that are using nicotine delivery systems are not much different than just plain old cigarettes: the addiction is still there, and it's only being traded off. The goal, of course, is to stop smoking, not trade one source of drug for another.
As a side note, I got word last night from one of my successful now-non-smokers that she, after being off the program for about 7 months, was trapped in a car all day with a smoker who was smoking, and had no desire to smoke. I know this works, but I suspect it needs a little more tweaking, or perhaps I should design it to be used for 6 months, instead of 12 weeks.
Believe me, having a subliminal that will allow anyone to stop smoking is a major prize for me, and I'm not going to ignore an opportunity to improve the program.
