    Default Did your lungs clear up?

    After about a week my smokers cough went away my sense of smell and taste became more acute and my overall stamina improved! Did any of you experience this? How long after you switched did this happen if so?

    Good poll.
    I work at a job where there can be high concentrations of CO2. When I smoked, I'd work a 12-hour shift, and would be wheezing, coughing and short of breath.

    Now?

    The CO2 doesn't effect me at all.

    Yet another reason to hate the FDA -they want me to go back to that life.

    Bastards!

    (The side effect, though, would seem to be weird dreams of zombies...)

    I lost my morning hack after day 3 & on about day 5 noticed things like vehicle exhaust (with windows up & a/c)
    I can now smell someones analog from well over 50ft away if the wind is right & can smell stale smoke on people in grocery stores.

    Same here. Can smell burning tobacco for quite a distance now.

    I do, however, maintain my firm resolve to NOT become one of the tobaccophobic antismoking jackasses that I had to deal with when I smoked.

    Never. If they want to smoke, it's not my business to bother them.
    But if they ask for ecig information, they get a card or two.

    It's like I quit smoking. It's like every time I've quit. I *do* cough from time to time, but that's throat dryness and I can tell from the "tickle". Gulp of drink, and I'm fine again. Loving my new addiction.

    My son told me that I no longer snore at night, and yes my breathing is not heavy like it was when i was a heavy smoker.

    Before I started vaping I could even find myself puffed out when fighting to get the duvet in it's cover! .....no problems now.

    Dude, she has you stuffing the duvets! Then again if I had stuffed a few more of them I might not be separated and noticing all the 'new' 'scents' about my place. But then again never would have been able to quit smoking with her around.

    I had terrible morning pipe clearings with Hitchcokingly disturbing shower drain fodder followed by many a daily hacking. All mostly gone now!
    10 weeks in now and as the euphoria of the 'switch' is on the wane there are the oddly romantic cravings for whatever it was my analogs actually tasted like....kinda like missing the wife 25years of smoking and the Divorce from that is... SAVING me money. One question though Pete; How often am I supposed to change the pillowcases? Laundry is the time I miss it the most...marriage that is.

    Happy Vapes
    Mike
