2nd day Vaping over analogs....loving it! But still miss it a bit

[jreknong]

congratulations and keep vaping!
at first i feel the same way like you here in my country where most people smoke clove cigarettes, people stare at you with curiosity..even a firend of mine was asked by a policeman because he thought that it's a device for illegal drug..lol
during the first week i still smoke for a few puffs but only because i'm curious with the vaping effect or if my liquid was run out, but a couple weeks later i found that i couldn't go back to smoke again, i'd rather not smoking at all

Yeah, it's like saying goodbye to an old friend. I smoked for 40 years, and that cigarette was always with me. I knew I had to let go and walk away...but it was hard. You'll do it. From the sound of your voice (or whatever) I know you will.

People look peculiarly at me when I am vaping, and especially when I am filling the tank. Someone commented that it looks like I was doing something illegal. I don't get embarassed.
Many people have asked me what I am doing, some people know it is a ecigarette, but they
haven't seen one before. Good way to start a conversation.

Some of my relatives thought I have started to smoke again when I told them I was going out
while I was at my aunt's birthday. I told them that I was vaping, not smoking. Thry didn't
understand the difference even if I explained what vaping is. Some smokers are like 'cool'
about vaping but most of them think that it is just waste of time, they don't even consider to
give up analogs. Although, I have managed to turn a few people minds. They have bought
equipments and they smoke a lot more less already.

I hate it when I have to go to vape where all the smokers are. I don't want to be a passive
smoker, I don't want to smell bad, and the smoke gets my asthma worse. It hasn't figured
out yet, that there are vapers who don't want to be gategorized aa smokers. There should be
areas for us as well if vaping is prohibited same way as smoking is.

I smoked 1-2 packs of analogs for 13 years. Then I quit and I was smoke free for 3 years
until I moved abroad where everybody smoked. I started again, then smoked about six
months. I stopped, stayed smoke free for 7 years and started again, and smoked about 6
months again. Then I found ecigarettes a little over a year ago. I haven't had analogs
ever since. Sometimes I get the urge for have a ..., but I don't like the taste at all. I knew
one grandpa who smoked for 40 years, and even if he had quit smoking over 30 years
ago, craving for a ... didn't go anywhere. I am so glad that there are ecigs!

People get more and more aware of ecigarettes, so, I am sure peculiar looks by people won't
disturb that much any longer. Just be a proud vaper!

Vaping since 2012. Newest mod Vamo V5. Hopefully I have enough money to buy Provari some day!

This is day 45 for me and I quit both cigarettes AND Skoal smokeless. Funny thing is I had a harder time getting over my loss of "chew" than I did the Marlboros. But I have not touched either since I took up vaping so day 2 or day 2000 if we are tobacco free it's a win for each and every one of us.
