Do the cravings ever go away?

[EvilOne]

Every so often I still get a craving for a cigarette. Completely random not associated with the old habits like after a meal or anything. Even though I know at this point it will most definitely taste like straight .... Does this ever go away or am I the only one?

I'm only three months in but I still get cravings every once in a while.

Very much an individual thing. Not doubt Length of time smoking and amount, along with individual dna makeup(susceptibility).

I never have Cravings anymore, but I do enjoy my vaping hobby very much. If that makes sense.

Mine did....took awhile but I can be around smokers and have no cravings at all. Honestly never even think about it anymore, but I started out at 24mg and stayed there for almost two years before I was able to lower my mg. Close to 4 years now and I'm at 3mg and have to use 0mg to go below .75 ohm.

For awhile I still enjoyed tobacco smell if someone was smoking, then one day a smoker was close by and I almost barfed! That was it for me I never had a craving since. I have been vaping 5 yrs straight now, so regular cigs have no hold on me.

I get the nostalgia cravings more than the want of a cig. Like sitting on a buddys porch just shootin the .... on a summer night chain smoking. Makes me wanna light one up for old time sake.

I don't know if it would qualify as a craving but I still love the smell of second hand smoke. When I pass by someone smoking a cig, I probably vape more. I still have smoking dreams and wake up angry at myself for no reason.

Don't think I've had an actual craving since the first 3 months. Now the entire thought of them just disgusts me.

It took me about a year and a half. I smoked for 37 years.

The funny thing is I still enjoy the smell of a lit cigarette. The great thing is it has no power over me now

For me, the idea of living on a respirator meant, you may need a new craving and I have ...........

I had frequent cravings the first year, one or two during years two and three, and one last year.

They, in my experience, get fewer and farther between, as well as easier to overcome. Just make sure you've got juice you enjoy and back ups for your back ups.

 

[KODIAK (TM)]

Nope. Not ever. Which is surprising because I'm a sissy-boy with no will power. Smoked almost 40 years and cried like a little girl with every attempt to quit cold turkey.

 

[HauntedMyst]

My cravings went away after about 2 or 3 months. Then I had one and it tasted like crap. I never had the cravings again.

Heh, be careful.

I'd been an ex-smoker and vaping for ~7 months when I went back to cigs, (because I'd run out of coils and lost a job and other bs excuses I told myself). The first couple did taste bad and were hard to finish... but then the ol' tobacco monkey reclaimed his seat on my back, just as if he'd never left. I smoked for another year after that before getting back to vaping exclusively.

I still sometimes crave a smoke when I'm drinking. So, I just vape like a madman until it passes.

I had cravings once a week for the first 3 months and then
they stopped out of the blue.

Drinking a lot of water and chain vaping when the cravings
hit helped me get over the hump. Highly doubt my body
was longing for nicotine, but more likely all the toxic crap
I was no longer ingesting.

 

[rhelton]

They have not for me and I have been vaping for over 5 years. I have gone back up to 12mg liquid and I only get those cravings once or twice a week maybe.

 

[EvilOne]

Probably more of a nostalgia thing I don't know...just a random thought. Cause the actual cravings subsided long long ago. And it was totally random too. This wasn't like one of the cravings from when I first started vaping...you know craving one after a meal..or in the car etc.

 

[Chris Edmunds]

Try some good tobacco flavors. I love tobacco flavors for my everyday vape. It helps me to not crave cigs

Next month is my six year anniversary of vaping. I smoked for over 40 years and actually didn't even intend to quit smoking altogether when I began vaping. I just wanted something I could use when I was in a situation where I couldn't smoke. Also, cigarettes were getting so expensive that I was having a hard time justifying spending hundreds of dollars a month....up in smoke.

I have absolutely NO cravings anymore. Second hand smoke used to entice me a little at first, then that changed somewhere along the way and now that smell gags me. Everybody is different, but I never thought I'd ever be able to quit smoking. Nobody was more surprised than I when I discovered that I had completely quit smoking almost by accident.

Short answer: in my opinion the cravings totally go away. The timetable is an individual thing.

I've been cigarette-free for over a year now, and I still get cravings once in a while. They're manageable, but they happen. When they do come, I just vape like a madman until they pass. It usually doesn't take too long...
