Has anyone tried having a cigarette lately?

[freeall]

Atty quit on me today, so I got a smoke off a guy at work. WOW. I smoked for all these years and somehow how enjoyed it? Gross.

It tasted like ashtray. I felt like crap afterwards, too. The smell, the taste, the butts. Brutal.

So many people don't know what they're missing with vaping. Never again will I smoke.

Vapor for life.

Yea, I can't go back either. If I get a sniff of one when passing someone outside, its actually tempting. On the other hand, I was at a casino today, I knew immediately, that I had entered a smoking section, before I even saw a sign. The air stunk. For some reason smells appealing to me outdoors. I am over 17 months longest I have ever been. I love vaping too much to blow it now!

 

[Mr.Mann]

Yep. (Though, not the whole cig--it was research, LOL). When I see people trying to get a juice that tastes "like a cigarette," all I can think is that is a situation where they remembered a bad relationship with rose colored glasses. "Oh, she wasn't that bad; we had some good times." LOL

 

[djezewski]

Still do it but much depends where I am. I still have to have 2 with my morning coffee, then I taper off and just vape more as the day goes by and pretty much exclusively vape at night. Have one big bottle of juice that I am not too fond of that I am trying to kill while some of my good stuff is steeping...that doesn't help.

 

[klynnn]

The last time I tried one was over a year ago, Thank heavens. Don't think I need to ever do that again.

I still burn an occasional cigarette. That happens when the vape just doesn't satisfy. Oddly, at times like that, the cigarette didn't satisfy either. When I learn that at the gut level I will probably quite entirely.

 

[klynnn]

Took me about 4 mos. Every so often I would try one to see what I was missing. Usually would light it after I hunted to find a lighter and then put it out since my vape was better, Last one was at 7mos none since.

 

[zacbandit]

Yea I have one in the morning first thing, and then sometimes I have one right after something else you use a lighter on. Thats about it. lol

 

[shannannagans]

It makes me wonder why I ever picked one up in the first place. When people smoke around me, it makes me want to gag if it blows in my direction and I smell it directly.

I quit smoking and started vaping over a year ago...I don't think I could ever smoke a ciggy again because I can no longer deal with the smell.
I had smoked since I was 12 years old and never realized how it smelled and I couldn't smell it on others who smoked.
If I couldn't vape anymore (for whatever reasons) I couldn't go back to smoking ciggys..I would quit altogether.

I smoke a nat sherman every once in a while with a friend but they're incredibly awesome, natural cigarettes that, like a cigar, go well with whiskey.

I rage smoked today. Bought a whole pack, smoked one, exclaimed at how gross it is, put the pack away, and pulled out my PV to get the taste out of my mouth.

Nat Sherman's were my brand of choice. They were so good!

I smoked for 28 years, quit, apparently for good, 2 months ago, thanks to vaping.

I lit one up yesterday just because I missed it. Did the same 2 weeks ago. It's nasty compared to some of my juices.

I'm still a bit perplexed how I tolerated smoking for that long. I'm also equally perplexed that despite not liking the taste anymore, juices that "taste like a cigarette" catch my attention.

I wonder to myself... why the heck would I want that?



It's an unexplained phenomenon.

Not up on a soap box or anything, but I've never been tempted, for one nano-second, to light up again. After 31 years of it, I really was sick and tired of it. I was a slave (and still am) to the nicotine, but I grew to loathe the taste and smell of the cigarettes themselves. Thank God I discovered vaping, for the 'hand to mouth and inhaling' aspect of things, because I tried The Patch, nicotine gum, and Chantix, and they didn't cut the mustard. At all..

 

[Marius_Kingsley]

And NOW, I've been drinking a bit. And since it's been a HORRIBLE day, and I've been drinking, and I have a pack of smokes, I just had a smoke a little while ago.... I'm a little disgusted. I had to wash my hands after coming inside. I had to change my shirt after that. I can't believe I didn't notice this awful smell for 12 years. And I can't believe I didn't feel this way with every cigarette for 12 years. And I can't believe I ever had a second cigarette.

Good for you! And not in a sarcastic or demeaning kind of way. Seriously! I tried it all too (except Chantix), and vaping has kept me smoke free for WEEKS at a time, while all the other cessation aids just ...... me off, because while I was getting nicotine, my brain didn't believe it. I would smoke while I had nicotine gum in my mouth. And the patch just didn't seem to do anything at all.

But even with vaping, I still get these awful cravings. But when I give into them, as I have 4 times now, it's just gross, and I don't want to do it again.

Oh, I'm sure you can find a better song than that!

i had a red yesterday, and it kinda sucked. i took a few toots off my PV right afterwards to get the taste out of my mouth, but it tasted like an ashtray... had a cup of coffee to clean out my mouth and tried it again, and thankfully the beautiful Apollo RY4 flavor came back...haha
