I smoked cigarettes for 42 years and had almost given up quitting. I started vaping with an e cigarette from v2. They were unreliable and didn't give me the vapor I desired. A friend told me about evod. I ordered a set and 7 weeks ago I gave up smoking altogether. I did smoke one or two at the beginning, but realized that the menthol cigarette did not do anything for me and it tasted just like my candy cane twister e juice. So I bought some more mint e juice and haven't touched a cigarette since. My husband who gave up smoking 12 years ago thinks that I should give up vaping too. But I really enjoy it and it takes care of the hand to mouth problem without eating myself to death. I have saved alot of money and feel alot better. I don't think I could have stopped smoking without vaping. I stopped smoking with chantix a few years ago for 3 months and I couldn't stand not doing something when there were other smokers around. Thats my story. Thanks for being there.

Thanks for sharing and congrats on ditching the cigs, I'm new to the forum and vaping
HI cindi and welcome to the forum. Congrats on your journey. For me the hand issue is/was half of my problem which vape satisfies. Enjoy.
Welcome and glad you joined. There are so many great e liquids out there , you are going to have more fun with vaping than smoking. Nice post. Hope to hear more from you.
The husband might be a problem though. I highly recommend replacing with a box mod, mini nautilus and a tank of your favourite juice 
On a serious note, welcome to the forum. Don't let some threads intimidate you (sub ohm on a tank you've never heard of etc) and enjoy the knowledge shared here

My wife believes the same, I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary of vaping and I have NO intention of stopping.
I am weaning down the nicotine level in my juice, however. (started at 12 am now at 3).
But as far as stopping vaping, no, I have no intention of it. There are WAY too many flavors out there to enjoy.
I told my wife that she really needs to support me in this venture as having no support would only give cause to return to cigarettes. So, it begs the question, does your husband want to put up with vapor which dissipates in 11 seconds, or a dead wife from cigarettes?
Whatever you do, don't give in. He's your husband and he should support you and your decisions. Especially in a decision that is helping you improve your health!
That's my two cents
Vape on!

Welcome and congrats on giving up the stink tubes.
I smoked cigs for over years and vaping helped me kick the nasty habit almost 3 months ago. My partner has never smoked cigs so is not able to understand how difficult it is to quit. Even though I haven't had a cig in almost 3 months it still bothers her that I'm vaping.
You know? - sometimes you just have to stick to your guns. I'm now coughing up some wretched "stuff" because my lungs/body is healing itself. ..I get the stink-eye regularly b/c of this but I know I'm doing the right thing. Myself and my grape soda juice are having a nice party for one on our patio as I write. I'm ignoring the stink-eye It's my party and I'll vape if I want to
Hang in there...stand your ground. You've made the choice to quit smoking (give yourself a pat on the back). Now your husband has a choice to support you on your way to a cig-less life.
Cheers!

Hi Cindi, congrats on quitting! I quit via vaping, and my hubby quit cold turkey. Each of us has to find our own way, and the most important part is that we aren't smoking cigarettes. For me, vaping is what worked. I've tried other ways in the past, as I see you have as well. My husband is just happy that I'm not smoking and supports the vaping. Hopefully soon your husband will too!
@juskiddin the coughing up nasty will pass. Even though it is completely disgusting, it gives you a good feeling to know how much good your doing for yourself.
@cindi cat lover welcome to the forums and congrats. Home to hear more good things in the future!

Thanks @josh w , I appreciate your words. I've read other comments about this, I think I was just a wee bit surprised it's taken over 2 months to happen. Every body is different I s'pose.
Cheers
thanks for the support. I know that quitting smoking is a personal thing and we all have to get through it in our own way.
I have had alot of fun with the flavors. But smoking menthols for so many years, I am partial to minty flavors. I'm sure that will pass. Sometimes I think that I should feel guilty like when I smoked cigarettes. Then I remember that it isn't bad for me and I'm totally happy

thanks I really appreciate the feedback. I am proud to have gotten away from cigarettes. They would have killed me. Now I have a future to look forward to.
