I'm a smoker.

I like smoking. I like tapping the cig pack against a hard surface to pack the tobacco tighter. I like pulling off the wrapper off the top. I like pulling out the first one and lighting it. I like how it feels. I like going outside and getting away from everyone to smoke. I like buying different bic lighters with stupid sayings like "sexy Sagittarius" or "hot mama". I like the smell of the smoke shop. I like getting a buck off when I buy two packs. I like the new "fire safe" public ashtrays where you just drop your lit but down a tube. I like the smokers and the smoking section. Smokers are my people. They have a personality. They aren't stuffy and like to tell you how it is. You can find out from them where to get the best burger or the best happy hour martini if you're new in town. Honestly, I don't want to quit. So, I'm hoping that my new eGo electronic device will actually change my mind. Cotton candy, apple pie, coconut, cherry, and cookie dough are you going to make me happy? Will filling a cartridge with your flavor, feel like tapping my cigs to pack the tobacco? Will your sweet vapor remind me of the smoke shop? Will getting $5 off my first juice order from a vendor make me smile and think I'm getting a good value? I don't know. I just don't know. but I'm going to try. Because I've tried before and failed. and there are some people in my life who would be really happy if I did quit.

Very well said.

I'm a smoker. I the kind of smoker you are. In fact, I'm the kind of smoker you may have asked where to get a happy hour martini, or which place sells a good scotch as the house brand. And doesn't put ice in it. I always know these things, and I LIKE smoking.

I haven't smoked in 3 months.

It wasn't, honestly, that hard. And yeah, I find I enjoy vaping. Not quite like smoking. But yeah, it's less unlike smoking than everything else is, if you know what I mean.

If I had a magic wand, I'd simply turn tobacco smoking into a healthy habit, and have a party like you wouldn't believe.

Without a magic wand...I'm learning how to vape. Learning how to get the MOST flavor out of it. (Tobacco flavors only for me!) Learning how to make it work.

Getting excited when the mailman comes...yeah. It's alright.

I still go out for a "vape" if I'm in a non-smoking restaurant, and sit in smokey bars. Cause frankly, I can't stand people who don't smoke.

Welcome,

I too am a smoker, although I haven't for about 3 months, not that I don't think about it.

I think the packing of the smokes, the opening ritual, the preference for hard pack to soft, and getting bumbed when they only have soft packs. All these thing have been replace?

This was not something that I was planning, I only wanted to save a bit of money. I don't even know if I am happy about it yet, but I don't see going back. Not if I can continue to vape...I now like it better, go figure?

Hard packs! I gotta say, I miss hard packs.

I was playing cards with my wife the other night, and found myself "packing" the box of cards.

Something else "our kind" of smokers HAVE to do- find a PV we really like. Gotta like the look. Got to feel good in the hand and the mouth.

Cause...everybody says that "nobody really likes smoking, they just do it because they're addicts," and that is partially true.

I don't LIKE smoking. I LOVE smoking.

But vaping seems to have filled the space that smoking left.

I'll tell ya what'll do it for ya.... The first time you've caught a cold whilst vaping, and you can continue to do so without it shredding your lungs and throat.

Ande, 3 months is a long time in my eyes. I'm at 3 days or maybe it's 4. It feels like 3 months. I would really like to have you wave that wand and start the party! Pack those cards! I'll pack the beer or maybe a bottle. lol Thanks for reading my ramblings and sharing.

lol Nova, I loved the hard packs too. The whole process of it was ritualistic and those are proving to be the hard habits to break more so then the annoying nic fits. I'm still working on the "I like it better" part. and, well... sorta grumpy about it. I mean do you ever stop thinking about having an analog, or getting that wiff across your nose when I smoker is near?

Olde, I hear you, that was not a fun time. and thinking of how I would still smoke with chest colds, my God what was I thinking???

I smoked through colds too. Wouldn't want to be a wuss, now wouldcha?

Vaping isnt' smoking in any of the good ways, BUT, it isn't smoking in the bad ways either.

For me, it's been enough to fill the gap. If you hang in there, the gap sort of resizes itsellf...you find that vaping is enough like smoking to give you what smoking did. And it has some extra benefits.

I especially love, for example, the way that it drives non-smokers, and especially ex or anti-smokers absolutely insane. Even more than smoking does. YES!

and it tastes good with scotch.
