Esmoke and Poop...

[dirtyballoonknot]

I don't know if this has been covered, and wouldn't even know how to search for it, but, like many smokers I CAN NOT poop, deficate, #2 without a cigarette. I don't know if it's the smoke itself, or the chemicals that trigger that response. If it's the nicotine than all should be well, but, if it's the smoke itself I'm afraid I'll have trouble using the restroom, LOL...

Anyone have any insight on this?

I always figured it was the coffee.... anyhoo- business as usual here.

Freud would say...

or should I say "business" as usual.

I always thought it was closer to Pavlov's dog...That's my point though. EVERY time I go, I'm smoking a cigarette, so, even when I feel the urge, if I'm restricted (on a plane, etc), it makes the process more difficult. I know there is some mild laxitive in cigarettes, just not sure if it's the nocotine or not.

AWESOME! I might guy one of these for that reason alone! At least now I know it's the nicotine...good work Rosa! Anyway to give kudos around here?

We have no shame on this forum.

I don't have shame in general, but, this is a pretty big deal, as I mentioned it's pretty difficult without the "fix", and it's something I typically do on a daily basis, LOL

Good luck! I hope everything "comes out" alright for you.

If you overdo the nic, espeically if you've reduced your levels then use something a bit higher than normal, you get the opposite issue - trust me...


(On a serious note I have to say once you level out on nic things settle down - drinking more water, which you should be doing now anyway, will also help a LOT)

Adjust your Cheese Intake..

if you use glycerine (i added a good amount to my eliquid bottles), glycerine can be used as a laxative.

now, i'm not being 100% scientific with this, and i only started vaping recently. but i used to have common digestive problems/not being able to go sometimes or just horrible gas building up to where my stomache would swell...a lot. it hurt.

i have not in fact had that problem, and i have to say. i think this may end up being a majorrrr pro to vaping for me . we shall see

ROFL, Martha. So very true.

Perhaps adding some bulk (high fiber food, fresh fruit and veggies) some high antioxident juices and LOTS of water will help your poor body adjust to it's fight to cleanse itself, no pun intended. Poor digestion can be very harmful, indeed, not to laugh at, in fact makes it hard to laugh but in truth NO ONE drinks enough water or eats enough fiber. Make it a daily goal to drink at least 6 8oz glasses of H2O, watch your sugar and carb intake. Coffee, teas, soft drinks, ale's and beer, can all be dehydrating. Compensate!

Appreciate the advice, and it's likely warranted, but, as I've stated here or elsewhere, it's not neccessarily that I CAN'T go, but, smokes help the process along (Pun)

I'm sure I could adjust my diet, and that's probably something to consider regardless, but, if I need to GO in an instant, smokes do the job!

Was just trying to help. You don't want to quit smoking I take it. Would probably be better for you to eat right and flush the cigs.

I do not, and again appreciate the thought...

however, it's usually non-smokers that give me this kind of grief , well, I suppose most of you are non-smokers now

Ahhhhhhh..this explains why I now have teflon-coated log-cabins!

Seriously...when i now lay a cable, it barely touches the sides. Talk about saving the forests! I'm reducing my carbon footprint!!!!

No longer do I have to strain shooting out nickels and dimes or wince in agony as the turtles-head creeps out!

MAGNIFICENT E-CIGS!!! Will your wonders never cease!
