So I was at work yesterday and a "kid" I work with was out of smokes looking to bum one for his break. He asked me if I smoke, and I said not anymore. I vape! So that's the good part. But geeeeez since that moment I have been having a killer craving for a cig! I have been vaping non-stop since then lol.

But seriously, this is really making me mad. I would have expected the craving to have left by now. But nooooooooo. It's probably all that bragging I have done about how easy it was to quit.

Anyway, to get my mind off things I have been playing with that silly app Bitstrips :p

DON"T DO IT!!!! Up the nic in your juice. You can make it through it. Really you can. (Blame it on the new lizard brain. :) )

Are you one of those that hate the smell of cigarettes now? Smelled that one day when I was feeling the tug of the old cancer stick and man did that put the brakes on that.

I am sooo put off by the cig smoke smell now! I am surprised about it too. Now every time a smoker passes within 20 feet I swear I can sniff em out. I want to chase them down and say,, "You don't have to smell like an ashtray anymore! Vape this and you can smell like cupcakes!"

I don't hate the smell of cigarette smoke per se; I hate the smell of stale cigarette smoke- esp if it's in an enclosed place. Like really!!! Open a window or something. I hate it when that stale smell lingers outside in the air too. Ever walk by it- the person(s) who was smoking is no longer there but it smells rank.

Trust me. If you don't like the smell, the taste is a heck of Alot worse if you have been vaping for a few weeks. I tried a drag a few weeks ago out of curiosity, and had to gargle with vodka( I did swallow it afterwards...heehee) to get that nasty taste out of my mouth. Just think of that when you have craving.

The smell is pleasant compared to the taste. ;)

I can relate. I think after I got enough gear to start vaping, I didn't dual use, it wasn't until 3 days vaping exclusively that I tried a RYO smoke from what tobacco I had left over. I rolled it up and lit it, and it was terrible. So I didn't have a smoke since then for over two months, I have been only vaping.

But recently anxiety/depression got worse and one night about 2 weeks ago when I couldn't sleep and had drunk too much I just walked to a shop and bought a pack and smoked one. $20 a pack here! I won't be doing that again.
Quite strange really, because it had been so long since my last, it tasted different, actually tasted like I remember them tasting the first time I had one.

Just think about all the people who thought you stunk and how you knew you stunk. Imagine sitting at your desk with your fingers still smelling. Then imagine the hacking and wheezing. No way, don't look back now!

I used to be embarrassed to come in from a smoke break smelling the office up. Heck you couldn't even sneak out for a smoke.... Everyone could smell you before they saw you.

Funny, I had a strong craving this afternoon, too. Right out of the blue.

I hit my regular tobacco vape pretty hard and it dissipated but it was an anomaly. Maybe it's something in the air...lol

I kid you not, we were in a parking lot last week and I sort of smelled (the stench of) cigarette smoke. Looked around and couldn’t see anyone smoking. Stood there like a stooge turning round and round until I saw somebody about 150’ away walking to his car smoking a cigarette. It was slightly windy and it just blew me away that I could smell it that far away. I used to smell like that. Now I smell like a little key lime or a big honking pot of coffee. I really gotta get the cupcake thing going.

Went to the performance of "Million Dollar Quartet" Wed. night. Toward the end of it, 3 of the characters were standing "outside" together, all smoking & talking together (real cigs were used in the play). It looked so....familiar, I guess; I really experienced the desire to be smoking with them! First urge I've had for quite a while.
