Day One

**Metstoo** · 02-23-2010, 04:14 AM

Smoked the last in my last pack of analogs yesterday. Gonna see how I do with just vaping...

(Immediate bonus? I don't have to go to Walmart to buy cigs! Yay!)

80 (average age of death) - 18 (start smoking age) = 62 (years of smoking in your life) * 2 (min it takes to get a pack from store) * 365(number of times per year to get one pack from store for one pack a day) / 60 (min per hour) = 754 hours or / 24 (hours in a day) =

31 days of time saved not buying a pack at the store in a lifetime

Could you imagine waiting in line at walmart for 31 days?

You can do it! Just vape a lot if you feel the urge to smoke an analog. Thats what I did for the first couple weeks. Now I don't even care to smoke and analog at all.

Are my lungs already recovering? Cuz some of my vaping is making my chest tight. I've been vaping for a little over a month and it hasn't done that until now.

Yes, up to 9 months or so usually less.

So some irritation is normal? It came back today and I've been wheezing a bit.

Going on day three with no analogs and doing okay.

Aside from the issue with the bronchial constriction I'm finding that the vaping at 24mg is just enough. I still want an analog occasionally for the quicker nic fix but if I vape enough that goes away.

I do feel kinda guilty for some reason... like I haven't REALLY quit smoking. Mental baggage, no doubt!
