[trashguy]

Hi

Friday will be a month since i smoked my last analog. i was just wondering
if its safe to say" i quit smoking " ? iam having alot of quitting smoking side
effects. I started off on 11mg (med) and im now on 6mg (low).

thanks

Wow... 6mg? I'd be climbing the walls, but I was a heavy smoker. Started out with 16mg and had to up that to 24mg before I felt comfy.

Yes, I do say that I've quit. But I temper that by saying that I'll never give up my nicotine!

Yes, you quit smoking and now you vape Keep up the good work. Next month it'll be a year for me

Yes, I say that. I figure that if people using "the patch" or "the gum" can say it, so can I! Remember... vapor is technically different than smoke.... When its foggy outside, you don't say "its smokey out there"... it is fog/vapor/condensate.

There is no particulate matter in vapor (and no carbon monoxide). And e-cigs are PVs - personal vaporizers. Go ahead and say it!

I truthfully say that I have quit smoking. If you do not smoke tobacco products then you have quit smoking.

I quit smoking and took up vaping.

I just usually say that I haven't had a cigarette in over a year and leave it at that.

I'm with Chrisl317. It's only been 5wks for me and people still hit me up in the breakroom for a light. I say I'm not smoking today.

My choice. I do have cigs and a lighter in my locker, but it's my choice not to smoke 'em. If they really need the light I'd go get it for 'em but there's usually someone else around. And I keep on vaping.

Exactly. Look up the definition of smoking in any source and the true definition involves the inhaling of burning tobacco product.

I quit smoking almost 9 months ago and very proud of it.

 

[Devin35]

absolutely! your a vaper now!

I quit smoking over a year ago.
I vape now.

 

[crashtestjeep]

Yup! I DID quit smoking!

I admit I vape on every occassion possible tho.

 

[GregH]

Same here. I tell people that I quit smoking because I did. But I am quick to explain that I switched to vaping instead and have no intention of stopping that.

I say I upgraded to Vaping

I play a head game with myself. I never say I quit, I just havent had one in almost 3 months. Otherwise I will surely have to go smoke a whole pack in one day LOL.

I did quit once for 9 months using wellbutrin, I stopped the pills and started smoking again. So maybe when I pass the 10 month mark I will feel comfortable saying I quit.

thanks all its very encouraging, almost feel like im cheating a little though.
i guess when i get down to 0mg its pretty much harmless.

Some of us actually feel like a little nicotine might be better for us than NOT having a little nicotine.

Nicotine does not appear to be any more harmful than caffeine.
And nicotine is being found to quite possibly have many beneficial health effects.
