Has anyone quit real smoking?

[Tags]

I got my e-cig Oct 13 at 7pm and not had a single analog since. 3 weeks, 1 day, 21 hours, 7 minutes, 23 seconds since quitting. 457 cigarettes not smoked. $110.82 saved. I feel alot better, I don't get winded as easily. I noticed that the flavors I got with my e-cig had no taste at first, but now I can taste them.

Its easy to quit with the ecig but i found after a many months
i was turning back to the analogues.I now vape and smoke,
sure i smoke less but i struggle to avoid the anolgues completely.
i have tried many times now but after a few months i fall
i ended up with the pv permanently welded to myabsstbtion aree

must try harder at tricking my mind into believing the ecig is the same as a cigarette !

Same here Kit,I started out great was having 1 or 2 now and then but after a few months I noticed I was gradually smoking more,But still smoking less than 1/2 of what I was.2 packs a day for nearly 40 years.

There's a convenience store that's a three-minute walk from my front door. I remind myself of that every day. I've been off analogs since June 21, and there have been some rough spots, mostly concerning equipment failure. It took some doing but found a reliable PV (510). I spent the money and bought enough back-up equipment to keep me feeling secure. And I guess that's when I decided I didn't want to be an addict any more. There aren't any cigarettes in the house, and in 19 weeks, I've stepped my nicotine content down from 36mg to 9mg. I started out wanting to gleefully stick it to the government and the tobacco companies, but I'm still vaping now because I want to be nicotine free someday. I might vape for the rest of my life, but I won't ever smoke again.

Im not too far into this, I orginally planned on slowly cutting back. I figured I would smoke in the car and at work. Well, the first day I only had 1 cigarette. By the end of the week I was still nursing the same pack of cigarettes I had when i got my kit. Tomorrow will mark the first payday EVER my entire life that I am not going to buy cigarettes. I actually ended up throwing out that last pack.

I am still new at this, having received my starter kit about 3 weeks ago. On the day I started vaping, I had a few analogs. The next day I had some analogs first thing in the morning, then none the rest of the day. Day 3 was the same.

I made up my mind that if I could go virtually all day, I could give up those morning smokes too. On the fourth day I was analog free, and have been now for 18 days.

I still have some leftover packs in the house and car. I actually keep them there on purpose, it helps me mentally to know they are there. But I don't have any desire for them.

For the first time, I am confident that it's over. Analogs don't have a hold on me anymore.

I quit smoking as soon as I got my 510 kit. I wasn't even trying to quit. It was so much easier to vape and get my nicotine.

As soon as I got my kit I quit smoking and chewing completely. I did both for over 20 years and chewed for 25 years. If I wasn't smoking I had a dip in. I held on to my pack of smokes and my can of chew for almost a week (just in case) before I gave them to some co-workers. I never even had the urge to go back to either of them!
It's been almost 2 weeks and I can breathe again. I don't go to bed wheezing or wake up hacking a lung. I am getting my sense of smell and taste back.
