can you answer?

I am wondering if a user were to switch back to analogues after vaping for a year+ would the person smoke as frequently as they were when they vaped?
This question always plagues me, love to hear your thoughts...

On another note, just noticed my ticker below, wow cant believe it has been that long and that easy!!!

Maybe. Maybe not. It just depends on the person if they were addicted to nicotine or was smoking/vaping was just habitual.

From almost everything I've read here from people that have relapsed, they eventually do go back to smoking just as much as they did before. Then again if they didn't relapse that badly, they might not be back here trying to quit again.

I think the body wants what it wants. It'll always eventually revert back to where the body wants it....

I tried smoking a pack of cigarettes a month or so after I quit. I had been vaping the entire time since I quit. I hated it from the first few puffs and never made it more than 1/2 a cig. Ultimately it depends on the person. I still enjoy a pipe from time to time but that is a whole different tobacco experience than cigarette smoking.

Congrats on making it past a year!

I doubt you would smoke as many puffs as vaping, it's just to strong and it doesn't taste good, plus hardly no vapor...

"it gets worse, never better". Words to live by.

Everyone is Different.

But I believe that if someone was to start smoking again that the Vast Majority would return to whatever amount they mainly smoked before they quit.

So if you were a PAD Smoker (for a Extended length of time), you would become a PAD Smoker again.

Some might be able to just Smoke a Few Cigarettes a Day. But unless that is what they were before, then they would be in a Small Minority

I can't speak for others but I have No Doubt that I would return to my former 3 ppd habit... Or more.

I did not find that magically taking 18 months off smoking for pregnancy and nursing bought me ANY relief. I was quickly up to my "norm" back then within a week or so after my little one weaned. Oh sure, I had the "just a few here and there" first, but tobacco won.

With me, tobacco ALWAYS wins. You don't smoke the way I do for FUN. You do it because you are completely addicted.

Also a good motto "Every quit is different." I have lost times of the number of times I tried to quit and each time was harder/easier. I have NO clue if I'd be able to return to vaping successfully, so have no desire to "test" my theory that I would be smoking as much as, or more than I was before.

That's a niggling little "I don't want to quit" thought if you ask me. I'd quash it. Just go places where smokers are getting treatment for whatever, and talk to them about it, if you feel the need.

I have no need to "retest" my addiction, and no doubt that I would quickly be back up to 3ppd.

Funny. Questions like that never even occur to me. Why would I want to back to smoking?

The 3 times I relapsed my cigarette consumption went way up.

I went from a couple in the morning, one on my breaks, one on lunch, a couple at night to one every hour.

Then one every hour to one every half an hour.

Then one pretty much any time I wasn't eating or sleeping.

When I vape I vape all day long. I work from home and don't stop taking pulls except when i'm eating and sleeping. When I relapse back into cigarettes I carry on that frequency.

Maybe I was a little unclear , but I absolutely do not want to go back to smoking!
I am just worried if for some reason vapes were unavailable and I did happen upon a cig and no doubt would become re addicted, would I go from being a 1/2PPD smoker as I was before Vaping or would I become a chain smoker, not that I want to test it!

Cigarettes are something that the usage of increases rapidly once you start smoking them.

I really have no intention of going back to them as they smell terrible to me now and they are messy. Ashes all over the place. I haven't even tried one since quitting them
