Still Smoking?

[PeteMcArthur]

This poll has probably been done before, but perhaps time for a results refresh. How many members have said goodbye to smoking completely?

... for 6 months now, and counting !

Cheers,

i still have the one one mainly for nostalgic reasons.. unlike some i dont hate them.. i spent too many years using them to hate them..

I still smoke two a day - not because I really need them, but because I still love them... Like Trog, I do not hate the things (nor did I have cough, or any other noticeable symptom, even after 23 years with them).

I am curious to see the results of this poll, although I guess that those who have completely quit may be a little more eager to respond than those who haven't....

I kinda have to still smoke, since I have a DSE901 with only one good battery and a penstyle that really doesn't do much for me. PLEASE mr. Mailman, bring me my new mini and pipe kits this week!!!!!

Not a single cancer stick for almost 3 months

but just added up the money Ive spent on penstyles ,901s, batteries , atomisers, screwdrivers, e cigars, 30 different juices and loads of experimental things

Ive spent a whopping £661.00 !! In 3 months

but have enuff stock to last 3 more months I hope

So may have stopped any cancer but after adding up my bills may die from a heart attack instead !

Same for me, only two months but no cost saving yet. If I can hold on without buying any more I'll be in profit in two weeks.

Trog don't even think of bringing out SD Mk2!!

The way the question is worded, I have to say "yes". I quit inhaling cigarettes July 17, 2007, switching first to snus and Stonewall dissolvable tobacco bits. In January, I began e-smoking .. pipe, cigar, and finally e-cigs. I've continued to do everything except inhale tobacco smoke. At best, I've mitigated the odds of lung disease. At worst, the nicotine is still killing my arteries in a way that won't show up for a few years.

I feel great, however, and the persistent smoker's cough is mostly gone. I tell people I've quit smoking. They see me puffing a pipe and say I'm still smoking. Your call. I've done what I think is best for my health, while remaining a hardcore nicotine addict.

I havn't smoked since my screwdriver arrived a week ago. I couldnt say I have left it behind though. There is still a packet of tobacco on the side and some may be smoked at any time. I just prefer the e-cig.

I would say I have quit, even though this is only my 12th day using my e-cig.

I was out of town with friends for a couple of days last week, and though I took enough cartridges for myself I failed to factor in the number of people that would want to try it out... so the cartridges were drained towards the end...

I took a recular cig from one of my friends and went outside to smoke it, but smoked less than half before putting it out... they just don't do it for me anymore, the e-cig is far more enjoyable.
