Has anyone quit real smoking?

[gypsierose]

I have been analog free for 1yr 3 mos. I had to quit because of pregnancy. I bought the e-cig because I returned to work and it is a high stress job. Most of my co-workers smoke. the urges came back and were horribly intense. I bought the 901 and have had it for 2 days and it takes care of the urges wonderfully so far, and the last 2 days at work were incredibly horribly stressful! Keep up with it and I believe anyone could go completely analog free. It depends on how bad you want to be rid of them.

I smoked for over 30 years. Was a 2+ pack a day smoker. I started e-cigs 5 weeks ago and have not had a real cigarette since.

how do you add those cool banners with the amount of days you havent smoked?

i cant add one yet because its only been a week and i havent quit smoking yet.

from 1- 2 packs of winstons a day for years to just a few a day in only one week though.

i hope to add one of those banners someday when i completely quit winstons..[/quote]

Go here Haqur's Smoke-Free counter and add it to your signature.

thats great midnight,, already not smoking..
i need more will power to not have one every 5-6 hours..

Believe me, it's taking every bit of will power I have. I'm probably using the e-cig more than I should but it's keeping me from lighting up. The pack of cigs I have left are in the car, so the e-cig is easier to use.

Just wondering how many people have completely quit smoking, for how long, and how they feel in comparison.
I have smoked for about 12 years and have cut back from a pack a day to 8 cigs a day, so i think with the ecig I can stop completely, but my husband smokes alot and has a really bad smoker's cough, so I'm hoping if he can quit on these.

Got my e-cig on Tuesday, haven't smoked since Wednesday morning.

I had the same question when I posted this poll. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/for...cess-rate.html

I've been off the analogs for 2 months now, and I have no temptation to return to them.

I've tried a couple of puffs from analogs now and then out of curiosity, and I just can't deal with the aftertaste anymore.

The gadget geek in me, who loves to order stuff online and anticipate the new toys in the mail, has beaten the tar out of the old 20-year smoker in me. Pun intended. A little enthusiasm goes a long way. I haven't touched a cig in 12 days. Amazing. The fact is that vaping is just more fun and interesting than smoking.

While it's been an investment (always have extra batts, atomizers, juice!), the benefits are off the charts. Beyond feeling and smelling better, just think of the health care costs you''d pay later as a smoker. Money well spent.

The obvious problem is that as long as you are addicted to nicotine, the threat of relapsing is still there. Just be prepared ...

2 to 2 1/2 packs a day, non-filters. Last cigarette the day I got my penstyle. Every day I take the money I would have spent that morning on my packs and drop it into a jar. I use the cash in that Jar to b uy my liquids and parts. So far it hasnt gone empty

Even if they ban them, I'm an esmoker for life.

The difficulty with vaping is the reliability of the things...I can get really fed up when things don't work properly and still need to have some tobacco to resort to.....but like most people say if you can get yourself sorted out with enough spares and back-ups.........smoking tobacco could be a thing of the past.
