Thanks to your kindness and support, I am off cigarettes and vaping exclusively for 18 days now.
I started smoking when I was 13, and smoked for 45 years! It was really hard, but I quit smoking in 2001, for almost 10 years. I would bum a cigarette occasionally, maybe 3 times a year. This spring, I was in school, and during breaks from classes, my school pals and would go outside and smoke. I started bumming smokes from them, and after awhile I bought my own pack. I ended up getting hooked again on smoking. I only got up to a half-pack a day. I smoked for 6 months. Then I got a cold and cough so bad it wouldn't go away. I was hacking up a lung and I knew smoking was making it worse.
I decided to look into how to quit. I looked at Chantix, and the patch, and remembered the pain I had when quitting smoking the first time. Then I found out about the e-cigarette. I got my Kgo in the mail on November 14th. Love it! Had tons of questions still, the manual was not that great! That night I smoked a cigarette. I didn't smoke another one until 5 days later. All in all, I have smoked 4 cigarettes since I started vaping 18 days ago. The pack of Newports is still sitting in my car, in case I want one, but I don't.
My plan is to wean down from the 18 mg. I am on now, to 11 mg., then 4 mg, and then eventually stop vaping. Thanks to everyone at this forum for all the help. I could have never done it without the kindness and support I have found here.
