Daffy is correct about what you experience when you have not smoked in a few weeks. I had not touched one for few weeks and decided to take a hit or two off one my mother had lit up when I was over visiting her. Here is my experience with that, I have posted this elsewhere here but it can't hurt to put it here for those that care to read:
After being exclusively on my Dragon and 510 for the last 21 days or so I decided to do a test to see where I was at with my "taste for tobacco" that we all have to one point or another, or think we have anyway.
I can't put my amazement into strong enough words at the way a tobacco cigarette tasted. It was terrible and nostalgic all in one. It evoked memories of snatching a ciggie or two from the parents as a young teen and puffing them down outside somewhere or in the bathroom with the fan going. It tasted exactly as it did when I was first starting out. The other amazing part was after using the E-Cig for so long and worrying about the throat hit and the taste I find that my E-Cig is superior in both ways. It felt as if I was sucking on a straw when I had that full flavor Winston to my lips, I was flabbergasted. This can't be I thought to myself, how is this true? I still don't know but I do know what I felt and experienced and it is exactly as I described. I felt as if I was taking a hit off a super ultra light tobacco cigarette with a terrible taste.
The other thought that was in my head was how in the hell did this get me addicted, it's taste like crap, what was I thinking? I don't have an answer for that either except that I was exercising my constitutionally protected right not to think and use my brain, as were the millions of others that have started smoking tobacco over the years.
I would say mental ......ation but that's giving people afflicted with mental ......ation a bad name because honestly they have enough sense to not start the habit in the first place, I can't think of a single mentally challenged person that I have ever met in my life that smoked tobacco, what's that say about us?
Anyway after my great experiment I felt pretty good about myself other than the fact I had come to the realization that I had made such a terrible lifestyle decision that mentally challenged people don't screw it up, yet I had managed to do it for over 32 years. Depressing? Hell yes, but not the end of the world after all I did see that I was never going back to those awful tasting things. Why would I go back to tobacco cigarettes when I get better taste, and better throat hit from my E-Cig than I do a tobacco cigarette? Oh, and the best part of this great experiment? It only took about 3 hits on the tobacco cigarette to come to these conclusions. I lit it, took a hit and put it out disgusted and grabbed my E-Cig to get the taste out of my mouth!
Please don't post any pm's about being offended by the words mental ......ation. The point being made is how incredibly insane starting smoking tobacco even sounds in hindsight, not to belittle or to make fun of ......ation. I have relatives that suffer from mental ......ation and would not dream of belittling anyone afflicted. Peace people and good luck with your bid to keep away from those tobacco products.
