I've been a smoker for oh, around 3 years. I started out in college just smoking in occasional social situations. That continued post college until my wife was pregnant with our first. The stress got to me and I started smoking 1 to 2 cigs a day.
Parenting pushed that up to a bit more, and then I started working at home. Well that 1 to 2 a day turned into about 4 a day. Then working from home turned into unemployment when I quit my job. From that point on I've been smoking around half a PAD for the past 2 years or so.
My wife knew that I smoked but she didn't really know how much. I'm a closet smoker so the only people who know are my wife, and 2 coworkers. Everyone I know hates it, so I keep it on the DL. It was really bad bc I have to sneak them, and we all know that isn't easy and when it's a long work day, or a long family day I'm about ready to kill someone by the time I can sneak away.
I'm pretty ashamed to admit it, but I have a smoking jacket. Its not a cool older gentleman smoking jacket, its a black nylon jacket that I wear to keep the smell off me. Every time I leave the house, I leave with my Marlboro Smooth, a lighter and that damn black jacket. I have various places around town that I know I can pull into and jump out of the car with my jacket and a quick smoke. Hotels, abandoned building parking lots, parks, etc.
I tried the gum but it didn't take. I don't like the taste, or the way the nicotine hit my throat. And it takes too long. When that craving hits, I don't want to chew a piece of nasty gum for 30 mins. I need a quick fix.
But that was before I got my e-cig. I order a 510-T with a manual battery and 5 30 mL bottles of Menthol. I haven't smoked an analog in 3 days and I haven't missed them. I don't even have any analogs anymore. I carry this thing with me everywhere and I love it!
A tank lasts me about 2 days, same as the regular sized manual battery. I'm not a huge vaper, and I've been so pleased with how this has worked out so far. I just pull it out and take a few drags when I feel the urge. I can smoke inside! I can sneak into the bathroom so the kids don't see! I can stealth vape hiding it in my hand, and blow the vapor into a cup or my shirt. It doesn't smell! It's a gift from the heavens.
My plan is to quit smoking entirely. My wife has given me a 1 year deadline to quit everything after I told her about the e-cig, and how I had quit the analogs. My started kit came with 5 bottles of different nicotine levels from 24 down to 0 so I'm just going to step down the nicotine to 0, and then try to quit vaping.
I'll keep everyone up to date. I know it'll still be difficult, but I'm thrilled that I'm not sucking on cancer sticks anymore. At least as far as we know.

That's about the coolest and funniest thing I've read here!
