I can totally relate. I was a newport light smoker and the first time I vaped I tried to smoke a cig about 5 minutes after and it was the worst thing I ever tasted. I consider it a miracle.

I haven't DARED to try another analog....I know the smell alone when someone walks by me just BOWLS me over now....my hubby is made to wash up before he gets into bed at night...LOL....after 40 years, can't IMAGINE going back....EVER!
One of the coolest things for me is that if I have to fill out a form, I can now mark it non-smoker. You see a billboard saying, 'quit tobacco' and I can say, "yeah, I did!" It's such a great feeling. tobacco no longer controls me. Of course I do like my 510, but my doctor is happy for me!!!! He almost passed out. 
Haven't had one since my third day of e-cigs, over 2 months ago. It tasted like burning pavement. All I could think was, what the hell am I doing?! I want to go back inside and puff on some banana! Or maybe some caramel, or maybe.... .... Haven't looked back (aside from looking back in disbelief)
Although I will admit that a freshly lit cigarette does still smell good to me in a very odd way. I think its the actual smoking of it that wouldn't go over so well.

I love the smell but after vaping for the last 3 days I cannot stand the taste just had my last analog! Had to go hit the listerine and wash it out. I just ordered about 80.00 worth of samples and accessories because for the first time in 20 years I am free YAHOO!!!
I still like the smell of tobacco, but I don't want to smoke anymore. This is much cleaner and nicer, and I can vape without being inconsiderate - although people do freak if they haven't seen it before.
This has been my precise experience, Panini. I had been at least a 2 PAD smoker for about the last 15 years. In the past, after quitting for a while then eventually succumbing to light one up again, that first analog after a "time off" tasted soooooo good. And of course, with that being the experience, the whole smoking 2 PAD commenced once again.
Now, is a totally different experience. After going a couple weeks or more without an analog, and lighting one up "just to see", my experience is that of how terribly gross and distasteful that analog really is. I toss it after a puff or two. This makes the whole previous process of once again taking on that 2 PAD habit a "fail" for me, and not something I would likely do. I can't wait to get back to my vape.
Remember how we used to go around the house and car or work or wherever, and go on a search and destroy mission to remove all temptation from our presence? I do. Cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays, ANYTHNG that served as a reminder. Now, it's totally different. I deliberately keep a pack of analogs around, and I deliberately light one up (though I really have no desire or craving to) every couple weeks or so. The same thing happens over and over as I toss the analog after a couple drags. This all seems to have acted more as a positive re-enforcement for me to not smoke, as opposed to the old "system" of avoiding lighting up that first one for fear of beginning once again the 2 PAD habit.

Oh gosh, I know how that feels, when I am out in the nightlife and I smell and/or see someone smoking an analog it used to make me want one and now it just makes me gag !!
I think this is awesome, as the same thing also happened to me. . .
I read about a lot of people who started vaping and were able to simply kick the smoking habit right off the bat -- others were smoking analogs and ecigs for some time.
I have been vaping since August 2nd of this year and have not had an analog cig since about August 9th.
Aside from the nicotine addiction, I also had to deal with the habit of buying analogs when I filled the car up.
Every time I went back to analogs, I noticed how disgusting they tasted . . . it was awful. This served as a constant reminder not to buy another pack of analogs.
Since then, everything has been fine. No analogs and no buying packs of analogs out of habit.
Personally, I think it is the 4000 chemicals you taste that is so disgusting.
