I started vaping to save money, and not to quit smoking honestly. Health wasn't the primary reason. vaping could turn out to be seriously detrimental to our health, so I am hesitant to even view it is a safe alternative. Safer, probably, but we really can't be sure how dangerous vaping is, or Isn't.
Anyway, I didn't have a tough time at all. I mean, I was getting my nic fix and it simulated smoking well enough. It hardly even felt like I was missing anything. For a while I was smoking and vaping. I then made the choice to only carry an ecig with me to work, so that I only smoked at home. I then started vaping more and more and smoking less and less. For a while vaping just didn't cut it when I was drinking (mind you this was back in the ego style days), and I would still have a cig after meals and with coffee and such. But then a funny thing happened... As the technology got better and better, and my vaping tastes more refines, I started to get more satisfaction from vaping and I no longer enjoyed cigarettes. I didn't really plan that part out, it just happened naturally. At this point I feel that the draw is too weak with cigs and I don't enjoy them. I've been vaping 100% for nearly 2 years now.
I will admit to smoking a cigarette once in a while when I'm out drinking. Not because I crave one, but because I could and I felt like it. I prefer vaping, so I don't sweat having an occasional cigarette for old times sake.
