Do you miss smoking ?

[mudmanc4]

Every now and then I get this nasty urge in remembrance of that thick smoke, but then I remember what came after that, the sick feeling, the "heady" buzz from all those nasty toxins (whatever they were) , but it passes fast.

When they come, I try not picking up my pv, and just wait a minute, after it passes a little, then I pick up and vape

Just wondering if any of the rest of you still have those fast onsetting triggers like when we drive, or start to talk business, you know the ones.

Nope, don't miss it at all. the only urges I have are to vape

Those urges still come along.

Fewer and further between as time passes.

Particularly strong triggers and I just put a fresh snus in the lip, kills the thought of a smoke in a matter of minutes.

Those urges ease with time. I sometimes miss the "rose-colored" glasses version of what it was like to inhale smoke! Having tried a hit or 2 a few months back, and I knew for sure it was just a that. You know, like not speaking ill of the dead...lol. I am now 6 months smoke free and can say that it was a filthy, nasty, stinky, unhealthy thing to do.
Then I smile and pick up my pv. All is well...

OTD,
Where do you buy your 36 mg??

I used to really struggle with the urge for an analog ... particularly after a meal. But not so much, anymore.

However, just last night, I was was with smoker friends. Somewhere along the way, I had picked up one of their lighters - just fiddling with it. And all of a sudden, I realized I was trying to light my PV.

Old habits are hard to break.

Totally not nostalgic. I don't crave analogs at all either. Last time i was kind of touched by analogs was upon remembering this pic ( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3129/2457747371_b512c658ff.jpg ) but it doesn't come close to making me question my new found preference

Every once in a while I feel like I am missing "something", but I am pretty sure it isn't nicotine. Lately I am wired enough that it takes quite a while to get to sleep, so there's plenty of stimulant in these things, and I should probably step down to a lower level in the evening. I haven't had any urge to light up an analog, though I still keep some handy - I need to be certain that I can stare them down without temptation. But vaping is quite satisfying, and much more enjoyable. So far, so good.

Smoking sucks. 36mg on a 6v 510 is way better

OTD,

I'm still working through a rather large supply of unflavored I purchased several months ago from Electronic Cigarette, e-Juice | ecigExpress . They had a sale at that time so I really stocked up.

It's been long enough since I've purchased any juice I honestly don't know who has the best prices these days. There are several vendors that carry 36mg, flavored or naked. Spend some time going through the Supporting Suppliers - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat and have fun shopping!

Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

The first couple days after I got mine I still had the craving for an analog. But after smoking one tasted like crap and made me feel like crap I knew I would never go back.

[reeds101]

The only time I miss smoking at all is if I am drinking. But, I just keep vaping and it passes. I know it would taste crappy, anyway.

 

[Paranoyed]

I am on my 4th week smoke free and yes I still have daily urges to have a smoke, but I remind myself of everything that came with that 4 minutes of pleasure and I am perfectly content to vape instead.

 

[yknotagain]

After 6-1/2 months without an analog I still get the occasional urge, yet far fewer as time progresses.

 

[smokingisbad]

Not really, acutally I dont have vape cravings as bad as I had smoke cravings. Which I find is a very positive step forward and away from smoking.

 

[kevbow]

Nope.....not at all and I smoked for over 20 years.

 

[the86d]

As long as I can get devices, and eLiquid I will never miss smoking.

I do have to add a bit of nic in the morn and eve, but NO!

 

[beckah54]

I don't have craving for analogs anymore. I prefer the PV and the flavored liquid.

I still miss that chemical induced feeling of being calm but alert, especially when I'm stressed out. Dopamine, Serotonin and other enzymes are changed (brain chemistry) when we quit despite getting the nicotine.

I miss my "happy place" from smoking, but don't miss the cost, stink, mess and health issues. I'm just happy to be able to blow 'smoke' and continue with some nicotine. After 8 months of being cig. free, I'm thinking about trying some snus to overcome some of that.
