Return to analogues if ecigs banned?

**New Year quitter** · 02-08-2009, 03:23 PM

First off, sorry for the atrocious grammar of the thread title, but'cha gotta be economical.
Anyway, I gave up analogues on News Year's eve 2008 and I said to myself that as long as I have the ecig then I can live without ciggies but I knew that without the ecig then I could never just give up and smoke nothing - I've tried several times and never lasted more than two days.
I started by using TW liquid, but I've now moved onto glycerin and food flavorings, 0% nicotine (and very cheap). One thing I've noticed recently is that I don't use the ecig nearly as much as I used to, it's as though I'm giving up smoking/vaping without really meaning to.
If ecigs were banned tomorrow I wouldn't even feel the urge to smoke again.
I never would have thought that possible two months ago, it's as though the ecig has given my mind time to adjust, which cold turkey would never have done.
All I have to pay for now are the atomizers, and I've got 8 fully working ones at the moment and a USB pass-through, I'm saving so much dosh, there's no way I'd ever be a smoker again. I may even call it a day with ecig in a few more months, because we don't know what the vapour is really doing to us.

Wow ... Congrats New Year Quitter ...

I actually quit cold turkey after years of unsuccessfully trying to quit. A few months later, found ecigs and the rest is history. My goal is to wean myself off nicotine all together again. I'm playing with a couple formulas to see if I can get a tasty zero nicotine liquid with a throat hit ... I love trying to make my own juice, because if you screw up, you have no one to blame but yourself !!!! haha ...

Congrats on being able to accomplish a huge feat both within the ecig world and out!

Congrats new year for coming this far. I'm hoping that in another month or so the same thing happens to me. I started ecigs 1 month ago and haven't looked back at analogs. Feeling much better and I have never been able to quit before,except for 2 months in the last 30 years so this has been a lifesaver for me. What I find though is I am constantly vaping, which is keeping me away from the analogs,but I'm vaping way more than I ever smoked. I am well stocked and always buying more supplies. If they are ever banned, I won't need to go back to analogs for a long time. That being said, I do hope that as time progresses I can cut back on these,but I find it too stressful to think about now. If I do end up vaping forever, it's still much better than smoking so I'll find the money somehow to keep my supply going.

If you do call it a day for the e-cig as well, then more power to you. Way to go not to be addicted to anything. I am already down to 0nic and have been for the last 3 months. But I do vape much more then I used to smoke. So for me it is just a habit I guess. If I do give everything the boot one day, it will not be as hard as I have no more nicotine addiction--Again, good job--Sun

I've been off analogs for 9 days and counting. I didn't intend to quit analogs completely--just cut down--but quitting was pretty easy with the e-cig.

That being said, it's just possible that when I manage to get down to very low or no nicotine levels in my ejuice, I just may find myself quitting even the e-cigs. However, I really doubt it. I enjoy inhaling and the ritual and habit associated with taking a moment for a quiet puff or two.

At this point, clearly still addicted to nicotine and inhaling, I'd be soooooo out of luck if e-cigs were banned. If I didn't find an underground source, I'd be back on analogs without a doubt. Oh, the horror!
