When I was at three weeks, I was really enjoying my newfound superhuman senses of smell and taste. Except for when my wife came in the house after having a cigarette, because then I'd be like "Holy crap, did I used to smell like that all the time?"

When I was at three weeks, I was really enjoying my newfound superhuman senses of smell and taste. Except for when my wife came in the house after having a cigarette, because then I'd be like "Holy crap, did I used to smell like that all the time?"
Fortunately I'm the lone smoker in the house so my battles are fought at work lol
When we told our Dr. about the ecigs we had gotten for Christmas, and the fact that both my wife and I were down to just a few analogs a day, he was so happy I thought he was going to flip. i explained the ecig and how it worked, the fact that yes we were still getting some nicotine, I figured the bomb was going to drop then. Instead he says "hell I don't give a damn about the nicotine" that's the least of the problems with smoking. A little nicotine if far less dangerous than all the .... you get in a cigarette. We talked about them for a while and he also commented that we had both lost weight, and that normally when someone tries to quit smoking they put on weight. I went on to explain that we were using a national program, we just didn't sign up or pay their monthly fees. I got all the info off the internet to be ablte to follow the eating plan. He was so happy when we left I thought he'd start singing. We go every 3 months (due to advanced age, combination of my two heart attacks, and my wifes back injury) When he sees us next month he'll faint. I've lost almost 30 lbs, my wife 12lbs, and we both have completely quit. He didn't know much about E cigs, i'm taking my MOD and got a couple of tip covers at the vape shop in town that I'm going to take and see if he wants to try a vape. I'll put something good and sweet in just to see what he thinks of our new dessert.
Its wonderful!!
Thank you everyone for the kind replies and the warm welcome. I'm glad my story seems to have brightened some other people's days as much as it did mine.
Great story all the way around, Nate!! Thanks for sharing! It's great to hear positive reports like yours!
I saw my dr. last month and she was happy to hear I'd quit smoking and was also interested in hearing more about ecigs. She knew someone who just couldn't quite let go of the last few cigs and wondered if an ecig would work.

This made my day! I have yet to tell my Doctor, appointment is for next month. I may do what you did and not say anything.
I hope to see longitudinal studies done on vaping to see the real effects (good or bad) fingers crossed for good news!
The studies are out there, they just never get publicized because their conclusions don't fit the preferred narrative being promulgated by the moralist nanny-staters who want to ban e-cigs for no good reason and/or tax them completely out of existence.
Politicians have no interest in actually helping their electorate. Those in the real world know what's up, like in the OP.
