Fresh Meat

[Coastal Cowboy]

Long time listener, first time poster.

I've been on e-cigs for four weeks, on the advice of my physician who seems to care about truth and science rather that hype and fearmongering. I smoked 1-2 packs a day for 30 years.

Free at last, free at last...

Looking forward to sharing information, ideas and what not with other converts.

I thought this was going to be a post about bacon or BBQ ribs.

Hello, cool you have a doctor that looked into things for themselves. That's the only way to come to a reasonable conclusion, certainly can't take tptb's words at face value.

Welcome!
Glad you had someone show you the light

How great! Your Dr introduced you! Is he/she accepting new patients? Welcome. Now the fun will start. Hold onto your check book, you are going for a ride.

Well, he said he couldn't "recommend" e-cigs, but that if I were looking at alternatives, it was "something to consider."

As for the financial aspects... Well, in the four weeks I've been smoke free, I've saved well over $100. That's $200 on what I would probably have spent on the combustibles minus the ~$100 or so I have in equipment and juice. I expect to save money!

Welcome aboard and congrats on switching to ecigs

Welcome to the forum - yes, I expected to save money too. 6 weeks in and I still have that expectation. I fear it will remain an expectation for at least another few months.

But you know, if I could put a value on lying in bed at night and not wheezing, bending over to tie my laces and not getting winded - then I am way, way ahead.

Enjoy the journey, and we'll enjoy the fresh - not smoked - meat.

I have spent far more than I have saved, but as Aglet said, the freedom from wheezing, coughing, rails etc is worth far more than money.

Thought this might be the singles thread. Bummer.

I smoked for 24 years, have been vaping for 1 and LOVE it!... LOVE, LOVE!

Congrats on quitting smoking and welcome to the forum!!

 

[Glen Snyder]

Way to go, you'll feel better soon if you haven't already.

 

[ShariR]

Welcome! I just joined the other day and I can not figure out what setup I should start with. What did you decide on and why. I am soooo confused. I am a 1.5 to 2 pack a day smoker for over 40 years.

I have read so much information here and there are so many knowledgeable(sp?) people here that I am sure you will be successful. I will be too if I could just figure out what to buy.

IBCR Media - Welcome to ECF and the wonderful world of vaping. I tip my hat to your doctor.

Congrats to quitting! I am hopefully going to start a journey of quitting smoking and starting vaping instead soon too. I worry I will get too excited about trying different equipment and different flavors to save any money, but getting my health back is exciting too. See you around!
