Blech! Tried a cigarette

[simplyme82]

I can't even imagine how bad a real smoke must now taste. I live with my sister who still smokes in the house and it makes me sick just to smell it - wintertime in St. Louis and I always keep a window open - that should tell you how bad it is.

I know the feeling. I have a friend come over yesterday and the minute she came in I smelled cigarettes on her. Kissing her was even worse. She said she was taking a shower before she came over, so I'm pretty much thinking "Gawd! How many did you have on the 10 minute drive over!?"

I tried a cig at just after a week off of cigs and got the lightheaded + nausea. That was it for me. Never again. Now that I am almost 2 months into it and still marvel at being 100% craving free. I was just thinking about that the other day. My mind is not hounded by that need. I don't even have a craving for nic or vaping, its more of a desire because I enjoy vaping. But I can go all day without vaping and not get a "nic fit" or that agitated craving anxiety that I use to have with cigs. I love it. I feel free.

This might be extremely dorky but I use to equate cigs to "the one ring" (Lord of the rings). I remember the first time I was reading the series was when I just started to smoke. I thought cigs then were pure evil and that they take you over and control your mind. But I could not toss my precious. lol I am so glad to be ride of them now.

Sandy....bet you would have never thought that taking those couple of drags and then littering would have such a profound effect on others today, eh? I'm so glad that you shared that experience!

Your post got me to seek the encouragement I needed. I flushed the ones I found (see post #13).

lilac779 just tossed 6 packs!! whoohoo!!!!

It's a great day in vaping land!

It is a truely strange transition, once you transition off cigs, and it took me a while to do that. Once I got going on the vaping thing and got past the "vape at home" but cigs at work. It took me a couple of weeks to get off of the cigs. Yeah, I did both for a while. This might be bad advice, but keep an analogue cig around and try it in month. if you are allready beyond it, that is awsome, for me, when I tried one after a month of vaping, it made me never want one again /vomit


This is really bad advice, if you are beyond analogues, don't listen to me. I've just used them twice since I have quit just to reassure that they are the most evil nastiest things ever. I'm guessing most people don't need this re-affirmation.

I've always enjoyed the taste of newports (smoked it exclusively). Had one not too long ago, enjoyed it (the taste), but realized that it's just awful in every way. Now I'm on the hunt for a good Newport liquid.

I guess I'm just waiting for the day when cigs taste like ..., lol. On other quits of mine (and there have been lots and lots trying every NRT and other snake oils), the longest I went was 2 days so once a week is not that bad!!

THIS!!! LMAO! I just imagined you standing over the trash can with your last cigarette and as you go to toss it, some cig junkie dives in screaming "NOOOOOOOO!!"

Wow, back in the day I remember digging butts out of the my trashcan and smoking them.

Monday, after four months of vaping only, I decided to try a analog because my buddy was smoking my old brand. Good lord, I almost threw up. Right back to the PV.

Looking back over the past couple of weeks, my enthusiasm for vaping has waned a little. I've been having a lot of problems with both my cartotank setup and direct drip atty's throwing codes on my provari.

Been there done that!

MadVapes sells a Nuport. It's pretty good IMO. Doesn't taste like a cigarette, but has a good flavor to it plus the menthol...
