After 55 years or so as a dedicated smoker I'm starting to think I've kicked it for good - no urge to light up that one American Spirit I've had sitting in the packet on the coffee table all that time. vaping just tastes better, I get enough umm, "relaxation", from it and I like it. That 55 years is not counting the time when I was about 9 and a bunch of teenagers thought it would be fun to teach the younger kids to smoke... cinnamon sticks, with full inhalation and a hefty throat-hit. Then we moved on to cigs, when available, for about a week till my mother found out. Imagine though: cinnamon as a "gateway to smoking" - they need to ban it.
My transition was eased by a week of cold turkey in hospital following major surgery and the Ego Kit my wife had purchased several months before which I'd tried a couple of times, with little enthusiasm. BTW that surgery is not directly related to smoking, though there is some epidemiology suggesting a possible link, but there's that for just about any illness you can get with all the smokers' money sitting in trusts now, waiting for the busybodies to come along.
Anyway I'm feeling good - 12mg ejuice and I'll decide later whether to lower that or eliminate it. I still don't, and won't, hate smokers or smoking; I really enjoyed (loved) it and there'll always be an ashtray in our house for friends but I've moved on.
I've got my first serious equipment upgrade with an Aspire Premium Kit (Nautilus Mini with VV+ battery) - nice vape but a bit cimbersome for on the go so next will be something smaller and lighter - maybe a joyetech eGrip. Thanks for all the great info here - it's a great help to us noobs.
