Does anyone ever plan to quit vaping?

[FearTX]

I did not intend to start vaping, I did intend to stop smoking, that intention led me here. They should really make the patches in flavors they taste terrible when you light them up.

I have a plan to be @ 0 nicotine by 12-31-2014 other than that there are no plans.

I have no plan to stop vaping ever and I have no plan to lower my nic either.

Love vaping...no reason to stop!

I would like to not be addicted to anything. I dislike the idea that I always have to have something (cigarettes, vape gear, patches, gum) with me because I can't really function without it.

That said, I really like the way my mind functions when I have nicotine in my system. When I've quit smoking in the past, I can feel a difference long after the initial withdraw is over (1 year +). It feels like my brain is a lot more sluggish and less creative. I'm a student and a writer, I need my brain to behave. Is it any wonder that I keep relapsing on all of my quit attempts?

With that in mind, I am in absolutely no hurry to quit vaping or even cut down on nicotine, but I would like to be totally free of it at some point.

I have an addictive personality. I quit a serious Diet Coke habit when I realized that I definitely feel better without it. But it took some solid evidence that giving it up helped to get me to do it.

I quit smoking about 3 years ago for over 6 months, with vaping. The equipment wasn't as good then, and I was under a fair amount of stress in my personal life. Many of my friends and family members are smokers, and I went right back to it. I've been trying to get back on the vaping, but was having difficulties. FINALLY figured out how key the right juice is, quit pinching pennies, and am having a blast with sampler packs from assorted vendors!!

I'm down to just a couple cigarettes a day, and figure Monday will be my absolute quit day. (The one first thing in the morning and the after-dinner one are the hardest to give up).

I will probably eventually reduce nicotine levels . . . some. My husband (ex-smoker) still swears that nicotine improved his memory and helped him think more clearly and quickly, so we will see if I ever get down to 0mg. Won't stress it.

As for quitting vaping? I've already proved I can't be trusted without them not to return to smoking. So that would be a definite no!!

I never intended to quit analogs when I tried vaping, long story short, I ended up preferring the vapor over smoke so here I am. Initially started at 24mg nic, 4 months in and I'm highly satisfied at 6mg.

Do I plan to quit vaping? Probably not, but I will tell you there are profound differences that I notice now:

1. Don't crave vaping the when I wake up in the AM. Before, first thing I did was light up a cigarette while waiting for my coffee to brew. Now, I think my first vape comes when I'm heading out to work.

2. Don't get nervous/jittery on planes as I was with analogs, and instead of making a beeline toward the exit to smoke before getting my luggage, my first vape comes when I'm comfortably settled at my destination.

3. When down with the flu, I would smoke cigarettes no matter how painful it was on my throat, the fix was in and I had to get it. Now, I can do without a vape until my throat is clear without feeling massive cravings.

Bottom line, I no longer have that intense addiction I had with cigarettes, vaping for me now is like having a cup of coffee, something I enjoy more than something I MUST have. Being someplace where I cannot vape is no big deal anymore, it can wait without having to put in effort or getting irritable/nervous.

Nicotine is a stimulant, like caffeine. As an artist, it helps me stay focused on projects that last hours of concentrated effort. I also enjoy the effects, much like I enjoy the effects and taste of coffee.

I've been going back and forth on quitting. I technically think I'm still smoking, as I'm still enjoying my addiction to nicotine, and engaging in the habits, but as this delivery system is SO dramatically less dangerous and harmful to my body and belongings and neighbors, I'm in no rush to quit using it. The cost is also a nice benefit. It's also liberating in a way, as I don't have to stand in a parking lot at midnight smoking a cigarette (my complex is 100% smoke-free). I'm also having very different cravings, they're not as strong and demanding and as constant as when I was smoking cigarettes, and that alone is worth it.

I'm out of real cigarettes right now, with no plans to buy any. If I do, i won't beat myself up, because one or two a week, or even every couple days, is so much better than the 2 packs a day I was doing. I'd like to say I'll never smoke a cigarette again, but it won't be the end of the world if I do.

I'm in the wait and see camp. I'm a month in, so far so GREAT, and I don't see any issues going forward.

I was a die-hard smoker for almost twenty years, I picked up the Samurai Kit from VapeDojo.com about a year ago, and tried with that. It almost worked, but then I had a large amount of drama happen, and I jumped right back to cigarettes. This time around, I've got an eGo-c Twist and a Protank, and I'm getting a vamo for my birthday next month.In the past week and a half, I've pretty much decided that I like vaping more, and I've already dropped down in nic to almost 0. In fact, once I get more flavoring and sweetener, I'll be mixing up some 0 and vaping on that.

I <3 clouds.

I'm experiencing this as well, and it's made me very curious what is in cigarettes that causes those intense cravings.

quit vaping? ... not likely

No thank you ... I've even increased my alcohol intake ... celebrating quitting smoking

 

[Anjaffm]

Quit vaping? Not bloody likely. And I see no earthly reason why I should

There are several substances in tobacco cigarettes which - when combined with the nicotine - cause the addiction and the cravings.
Nicotine itself - without that nasty stuff - is much less addictive.

I just read a good article about it here:
Pharmacological and Chemical Effects of Cigarette Additives

Wow. I knew the cigarette companies were the enemy, but they're just EVIL.

 

[Neesher]

I have an addictive personality. I quit a serious Diet Coke habit ...

Me too! That stuff is poisonous. I was on 2 litres a day and I got very twitchy if there was none in the house.
So now I'm off the Diet Coke, off the cigarettes and would love to be off the nicotine eventually, but feel like Ive done the worst of it now, nicotine is harmless compared to the other 2 so I'm in no rush at all.
At some point I might work on the caffeine addiction too!

Shiiit I would like to but I just don't know if its in the cards. Especially if i go out drinking hahaha

 

[Camay]

Not going to stop vaping. It is very soothing for me and my family encourages it by even purchasing ejuices and supplies for me. Besides, everyone has a vice!

 

[JR3342]

No.
Just slowing the nic level down every month. Till I hit 0 nic, then just vape for flavor.

 

[JustB'nMe]

I'll have to say at this time the answer is no. I've only been vaping for 4 months now but after being a smoker for 14 years, it's the only way I've successfully quit smoking. I vape juices with low nic as it is (8mg) and eventually I might ween myself to zero nic. Mainly because I've found flavors I like so much I could vape without it. Plus, just having something in my hand during my idle times or when I'm driving that I can take occasional puffs from just does it for me. Smokers who try quitting usually replace it with something else anyway and only for a short time because they still crave nicotine. I think vaping is a more effective, pleasant and safer alternative. So, since it's not hurting me or anyone around me, I plan to vape on!

Started vaping to drop analogs, mission accomplished. Now as far quitting vaping don't know that I will. Enjoy it far to much, more than smoking I think. Goal for now is to aim for 0 mg nic.

I'm still very early on with being smoek free but it is my ultimate goal to be nicotine free. Whether or not the vaping will stop who knows. Still way to early for me to say.
