What do you NOT miss about smoking?

[Kmaiguyhi]

Not being able to sprint a lap when swimming :-d

How about burning money? I know I've spent loads on this new hobby but at least I have something to show for it.

Not waking up coughing in the night

The best thing about not smoking is being able to exhale all the way until your lungs are empty and not coughing at the end... I do like that

I definitely don't miss the smell - In fact after only vap'ing for a week being around cig smoke gives me a headache. I also like being able to keep the windows up in the car and NOT having to freeze my butt off in the morning to have a cig.

I'll bring up a groaner: I miss the appetite-suppression that came with smoking cigarettes. If you'll note in Dr. Laugesen's new report, the lab animals that inhaled PG for months gained weight compared to a control group. Personally, I'm going up a pound a month -- and I've been e-smoking 10 months. It's alarming. It's unwanted. For some, persistent weight gain might well drive them back to cigarettes.

I know my son uses cigarettes to maintain weight, as many bodybuilders do. When he quits, he puts on pounds quickly. When he smokes and works out, down goes the weight. And he pretty well dismissed e-smoking with a wave of his hand. Not cool with his younger set.

The loss of the companionship of smoking together, in fact, troubled old DevilFish here so much that he had a difficult time using his e-cig among peers. They laughed at him. He was a smoker trying to do a healthy thing, but kept smoking cigarettes so "the babes" wouldn't laugh at him. No small consideration for many smokers.

I enjoy the absence of ash and rolling tobacco all over the place and not having to spend ages looking for a mislaid lighter! My other half still smokes though, so I do still get his ash and tobacco to clean up.

What I do not miss is the burning end of a cigarette falling off and nearly setting light to things. That alone is a good enough reason to vape.

I don't miss my horrible yellow furred tongue. After only 2 weeks e-smoking my tongue is lovely and pink and smooth

I dont miss the coughing fit I used to get after yelling at my teenage son when he wouldnt get up in the mornings

[Mommyshann]

I don't miss going into a hacking coughing fit everytime I laugh. I can actually really laugh now!

I don't miss pipe-ash in the corner of jacket pockets. This got mixed in with change and made fingers very dirty. I also don't miss setting fire to my trousers....
