My boyfriend (smoker of 12 years) and I used electronic cigarettes to quit cigarette. Not the type you buy in convenient stores but ones that have stronger batteries and atomizers that are sold online. I would highly recommend a setup for a newbie called the E-Go C Twist paired with a tank (to hold the liquid) called the Kanger T3. You can also purchase all sorts of delicious flavors online and taper down your nicotine from 26 to 16 to 12 to 8 to 6 and then 0. I'm currently at 6.
This is my situation, too (You know this all-too-well, stardust
- lovin' that ProVari, eh??). Electronic cigarettes not only changed my life - they may have, in the long-run, saved my life. I own too many eCigarettes, APV's, various tanks, etc. to post pictures of them all. To do so would be... well, embarrassing! 
But below are some of my saviors:NSFW:
The white and the blue eCigarettes in the foreground are the eGo-C Twists of which stardust speaks, in case any newcomer is interested to know what they look like. They have slightly more advanced tanks attached to them, though, than I would recommend to someone just starting out, but they give the general idea.
In the background are my three APV's - "advanced personal vaporizers." From left to right we have a Sigelei ZMax (the one decked out as R2D2); the Innokin iTaste SVD (the one that looks like a lightsaber, LOL) with a Vivi Nova SVT tank atop it; the right-most is one of my most technologically advanced APV's out there, the eVic by JoyeTech, with its own operating system built into the mechanized head. It has the same tank as stardust's ProVari, the KangerTech Pro Tank.
Vaping has left me more physically fit, completely non-reliant on traditional tobacco (haven't smoked a cigarette in ages), increased my lung capacity, dismissed any smells/odors/need for flame/ashes/secondhand smoke, and allows me to control very precisely the amount of nicotine I put into my body.
I have an app for my iPad that helps me tangibly track my progress away from my eleven-year Marlboro Reds addiction. Here is a snapshot of what it has to say about my progress at the time of this post:
NSFW:
490 blissful days of tobacco-abstinence. I think eCigs are one of the greatest things to happen to global societal health in a long, long time.
I guess, to conclude...

...and happy to be!!

I would also like to sincerely echo this statement
SwimmingDancer, some people are, indeed, somewhat allergic to the propylene glycol used in eLiquid; you can skirt this issue by purchasing liquid that is nearly, or completely, VG (vegetable glycerine).
I remember when I first started, waaaay back, I would use those types of e-cigs that look like traditional cigarettes, and whose liquid-soaked cotton cartridges were comprised entirely of PG, and I had similar symptoms. I now use an 80% VG, 20% PG mix as my standard, though 100% VG isn't bad, either. Consider giving it a try!
