I worked with a guy who tried to quit using the gum but went back to cigarettes. The reason? He was spending more on the gum than the cigarettes. I think electronic cigarettes have been banned in Australia and here in the US. You are inhaling diethylene glycol (antifreeze) and that can’t be good.

No. It's propylene glycol, a compound added to antifreeze to make it less toxic.
It's also used as a solvent in pharmaceutical formulations, as an additive in food, toothpaste and mouthwash, in hand sanitizers, antibacterial lotions and saline solutions and in smoke machines to make artificial smoke.

My mistake. I can't see that there's any difference how one gets the nicotine...inhaling a cigarette,real or electonic, through a patch or gum. I'd think you still need the motivation to quit because nicotine is so addicting. I don't if it's true but I've heard they put other stuff in cigarettes to make them even more addicting. Last summer at the local flea market there were some out of state Native Americans selling "artificial" cigarettes. I noticed on one sign a blurb that said, "some brands contain real tobacco." Made me wonder exactly what was in the other ones!?

Jesus! You really don't get it. Burning tobacco gases are poisonous in so many ways. Is that the part you missed? Nicotine Replacement Therapy doesn't simulate the smoking experience, which could be as big a factor in a smoker's failure to quit.
Also, an electronic cigarette should cost most ex-smokers around half as much.
