Thank you So much everyone here!
Day one, I went from 60/day to 5/day without any effort at all.
I had issues with morning vapes causing me to ‘cough and choke’ so I smoked in the mornings.
Day three, I discovered LorAnn English Toffee and vaped way-too-much and got the dry sore throat. I switched back to premixed only, then back to smokes, to make it go away.
Day four, I was no longer coughing my lungs-out for 2 hours each morning or coughing every 5-10 minutes throughout the day.
Day five I started coughing up mouth-full's of junk from smoking for 46 years.
Day six I crashed my bike at 10mph, landed on a can of food in my back-pack and cracked one of my ribs. This was a big setback. Any coughing ‘with a cracked rib’ is excruciating. I ‘reluctantly’ decided to split the difference of the permanent smoker’s cough and the temporary newly non-smoker’s cough by smoking 15-20 cigs/day for a few weeks (while I had to sleep sitting straight up). [I wanted to paralyze the cilia in my bronchial tubes]. {Not recommended}…
Just the reduction from 60/day to ~17/day caused my voice to come back. (I had lost my voice due to all of the smoker’s coughing that I was doing), for the last five months! - - Man ‘O’ Man I sure was happy to get my voice back! - - Talk about encouragement; I had been thinking that my dad died of cancer of the (Esophagus or Oesophagus) at age 46. – I have 6 years more than him!
In the mean time, I built up my stock and decided to stock for all my family and close friends as well.
I have sold (and did a 5 flavor demo) to four family members and a dear friend so far. Out of these five, 3 were ready to quit and did so, during the demo, without any issues. Two continued to smoke, because they were not really ready. - - I would advise Ya’ll to warn them a week in advance. Let them prepare and be low on stock. .
I am sorry for the long post. I have tried to ‘par-a-phrase’. – This is the short version. Lol!
May 5th was my ‘drop-dead’ date; (my Mom’s 70th birthday). I have been smoke-free since midnight May 4th.
Now, I can finally preach what I practice without any issues.
Yes I voted that “I've completely quit analogs with e-cigs” because I have. It does not mater that my last smoke was 72 hours and 35 minutes ago. It has been done.
I want to do special thanks to Kate (the cigar nun) and to Bob (you know who you are) please keep up the good work.
Oh yea, the ‘morning vape issue’ went away after the first morning without cigs. I want to give a very special thanks to the member that mentioned ‘French Inhaling’ (mouth to nose), I forgot about that about 30 years ago. It worked real well, on that first morning without cigs. It really helped a lot. You would not believe how much! Now it doesn’t matter much. Because, I now have a healthy throat. Thanks Ya’ll!
Thanks Ya’ll!
I mean It really. Thank you for my life. Now I will live an extra ten years.
