Default Did you stop smoking in 2009 ?

I know at least a couple people were trying to switch to e-cigs, and quit smoking as a new years resolution. If so, how is it going? The reason I ask is I am trying to do the same thing, I just started a little late (today). I would consider it a success if I can cut back to 5 or 10 analogs a day.

I can't wait to get one of the banners in my signature line that says "Smoke Free For XX days" Of course the hard part is getting there.

I had my first ecig a few days before Xmas, and immediately cut down on my smoking. Xmas eve I had a couple while my batteries were charging, but since then I haven't needed one. After 35 years of smoking, the last 10 on unfiltered hand rolling tobacco, I've only ever gone for a day before without one, which made me feel like killing someone ! I now think I've got it cracked, and I really do not get that urge anymore. I really can't believe how quickly I have been able to do it, yes I do still need nicotine, so not completly cured just yet. ( Anyone want any rolling tobacco )

I quit analogs over a month ago and have zero cravings for 'em now. I simply finished up my opened pack and switched fully to the vapourizer - haven't looked back.

To be honest, I'm quite amazed that some users have such a difficult time letting analogs go and keep pining for 'em - guess everyone's different though. I've theorized that it's probably the result of addictive/enhancing additives used in some brands over others.

I think the hard part for some people to let real cigs go is because "they cant let the feeling of feeling bad in the morning go" .... they have felt bad for the last 10 yrs or so etc etc so if they feel good in the morning then thats not normal ....... To feel good on a morning is a bit strange .... But thats what is normal lol.

i was a hard core smoker for 25 years...quitting was unthinkable...
the day i got my 901 i quit analogs without even trying too much.
i thought if i could do it everyone else can....but i still see people smoke a few while vaping.
