To those who are in doubt about people who have quit smoking and wanting to vape, here's my story...
I quit smoking cold turkey on December 31, 1989 at 6 p.m. (funny how a dedicated smoker who quits will never forget the quit date). Quitting was one of the most horrible experiences in my life! At one point I was on the floor rolling around and crying. I would have crawled miles for one but somehow I mustered the gumption to keep on going. I went into a state of depression and all I wanted to do was not stop eating (because I really wanted to smoke after having food) and I slept away most of the time that I wasn't stuffing my face with food. I packed on 50 pounds and had nightmares about accidently picking up an analog and puffing on it and then thinking OMG what have I done, now I have to suffer through quitting again. There was never a day that went by that something didn't "trigger" that "I wanna smoke" mechanism hidden deep within every smoker. I got over the craving but never got over the "action" and pleasurable parts of the habit. In 2003 I went through a bad divorce situation and decided to smoke "just one" with a friend one day. Guess what? You got it...I left her house and headed straight to the store to buy a pack and the rest is history. The sad part about it was, I didn't want to quit ever again after having failed after that many years, plus, the recollection of how hard it was to do. Thank God for E cigs! I've been analog free ever since day one of vaping and I don't miss a thing!
The point of me telling this story is, even though someone is no longer smoking does not mean they never will again and it doesn't mean they no longer want to. I would highly recommend E cigs to any former smoker who still struggles with the urge to indulge in the "act" of smoking that all of us find so enjoyable. Go with no nic juice and have at it and forever be free from the struggle of wanting to smoke. You'll have less of a hassle than the rest of us who haven't quite gotten our nic level to the right mg yet. All you have to do is choose your flavor and have at it. I can see where E cigs with no nic juice would highly benefit most ex smokers who still think about and want to indulge in an analog session. I never ever thought I'd smoke again, but I did. I hated the smell with a passion and could smell it from a mile down the road and when I started back, I didn't really enjoy the taste at all. It was the act of doing it that I missed and I made myself like them--- again. I made myself not care if I stunk----again! I only wish these had been available back in 2003 and I would have avoided another 7 years of pumping my lungs full of smoke----again! Don't make my mistake. Do whatever you must do to calm that beast that lies within every "smokeaholic" just waiting to rear his ugly head and roar one last time.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
