Any BENIFITS? / Gifts? from Being a NON SMOKER?....How do you feel?

[Newbie from PA]

I know just from cutting down (12 anologs a day if I even can!) Muscles don't ache in morning,...so far anyway.
I'll probably miss? THROAT & LUNG CONGESTION / COUGHING / SMELL / PAIN / Low MOTIVATION / TRAPPED / DEPRIVED every 20 mins / RUNNING OUT OF OXYGEN / PAIN & EXHAUSTION climbing stairs...
Anyway,.....................Just wondering

 

[Thesaurus]

I've personally experienced the same benefits OP describes. Being able to vape inside is great compared to stepping out for a smoke. On top of that, the flavor choices are great...I've yet to see a caramel mocha flavored cigarette.

Being able to control my own level of nicotine. And not only that but being able to take a few hits and set the vaporizer down versus a cigarette that you have to either finish smoking or put out.

The only con i've seen from vaping vs. smoking is that vaporizers have a little ways to go before they make you look as badass as a cigarette does. But not far. They do look pretty cool.

Hey,...good points! Anyway, (No Offence Thesaurus) (I see you're 20)...Nothing "badass" about a cigg. In fact, we are some of biggest whimps going along with this. started out of course: Fitting in / Dizzyness / "just because we were told "not to" /...then...Drug Addiction...soon: Hard drug addiction (to keep feeling dizzy) Alcoholism,...Complete doward spiral in life...(speaking for myself anyway) We are Drug Addicts us real smokers, Goverment run!: Poisoning our wonderful bodies, and all that other stuff I mentioned above.

Good thing you started this young!...Not completely POISONing yourself anyway

 

[Newbie from PA]

yeah,...never thought about your first comments. anyway....
GOOD JOB THESAURUS!....Keep going out there and LIVE YOUR LIFE!....Remember what our parents say...lol

Hey! We should make a POST: BENIFITS OF BEING A REAL SMOKER!...
...............Well, we'd be giving our keyboards a rest...
.........................THERE'D BE NOTHING ON THE PAGE!

 

[Thesaurus]

lol i agree man, no offense taken. Well said. Are you using electronic cigarettes to completely quit nicotine?

 

[Newbie from PA]

I think eventually,...yes.
Not that it's really a "habit"...(Is Eating a habit?) (we are just fullfilling a "need) ( No more than getting in a new car, going to shift to drive, then "turning on the wipers" instead!....One would do this probably 5 times, then, stop doing it) so (I can easily do something else with my hands,...and I do!...(IT IS NOT A HABBIT!...if ya think about it?) I think for 36 years I've been "burning" my throat "feeling that burn" and "cigg replication & feel" will be what I miss mostly.....hence (my other post: Mini? KGO / EGO I still can't decide)
As I see (and of course the NIC levels can be controlled...to "0" eventually) Upgrading to more longevity and stronger Throat it / Vapor is pretty cheap......Was thinking about the (Smokeless Image) VOLT (for the above reasons)...eventually will go bizurk with vaping I'm sure / upgrading.

You should (if ya didn't) check this thing out! Reviewers are blown away

 

[Thesaurus]

Thanks for the recommendation man, I'll check it out.

I know I don't smell like a giant cigartte walking around town. My sences of smell and taste have improved. I have stopped coughing first thing in the morning when I first wake up. My chest isn't tight in the morning either! I feel great mentally too, I have clearer thoughts and more energy.

 

[Motoman101]

Hi. Yeah the benefit is life.

 

[_more_]

Things I hated about smoking. ashes and BUTTS. Odor of cig ashtrays that always needed to be emptied. No ashes falling everywhere. Burning people or pets that bump into a cig that is lit.

I love vaping in my bed while i am falling asleep, can't do that with a cig

I never liked the act of smoking except as a teen afterwards it was just addiction to nicotine. I tried to quit oh so many times with oh so many methods, that is another thing I hated about analogs was wanting to quit but failing.

I love that i will never have to quit smoking again, because i am done with the whole burning tobacco problems.

Vapor wins

Well said an inspiring Guys & Gals!....NICE!

 

[Kopfstimmen]

I have another one that's probably a little uncommon... When I was smoking at home, I did it alone. Now that I'm vaping, my girlfriend (who is and was a nonsmoker) does it with me...

 

[JohnnyVsGirl]

From the perspective of the smoker's gf/spouse/etc I can say it's nice not to wake up at 4:00 a.m. in the morning listening to my fiance cough up a lung next to me. I no longer roll away to the other side of the bed if he breathes on me. I don't have to go into the bathroom put my bathrobe on and smell his smoke because he didn't feel like going outside to smoke. His closet of clothes smell fresh, not like smoke. He has more time to spend with our 2 year old instead of running outside for 15 minutes when it's 100 degrees outside. He can happily smoke inside while surfing the net, watching tv, playing with our daughter, etc. He has more energy and awakens less frequently due to apnea. He no longer leaves at 11:55 p.m. to grab a pack of cigarettes before the grocery store across the street closes at midnight. He hasn't lit the wrong end and started cursing because he ruined an analog. He can take phone interviews for jobs and vape at the same time. He's pretty happy. And today we might head into Chicago to go to a street festival with pony rides, petting zoo and Vapor4Life will be there. Plus he can vape amongst the festival goers. Not too shabby for the pluses.

Kopfstimmen, you're right he doesn't have to do it alone. I am a terrible nail biter and I started vaping 0 mg to break my hand to mouth association. My nails are actually starting to grow and I'm not mangling my cuticles anymore.

 

[fitchy]

yeah plenty of benefits from vaping, not smoking now at all.... 3 weeks happier, healthier, smells are wonderfull, brain is in gear, body revving up too slowly, lol

 

[clippergear]

Many, many benefits and gifts going from analogs to vaping. No stink, ashes, butts, bronchitis 4 times a year and it's also a great way to meet people. Everytime I smoke my e-cig somewhere people are always asking questions about it so I get to meet new people and explain why vaping is so great!!

 

[VapingRulz]

I'm closing in on 3 years of vaping and not smoking, after 37+ years of being a heavy smoker. I grew up surrounded by smokers. To me, it was normal to smell that gross after-smell. Now, I can smell someone smoking from far away. I can smell smokers on the elevator. I can tell immediately when I enter someone's home if they smoke. It is a very unpleasant smell to me now, where it used to be normal - almost comforting. I do still like the smell of a freshly lit cigarette and I don't ban smoking in my home because I don't want my guests to be uncomfortable, but I really don't know many smokers anymore so it's not a big issue.

I don't wheeze at night anymore. I can have a nice belly laugh without hacking up a lung. I can sing again. Lots and lots of benefits to vaping instead of smoking!
