Has anyone tried having a cigarette lately?

[BK272]

It's only been six days for me, but already I can't stand the smell of cigs. Wife tries to kiss me after she smokes one and the smell is just awful. Crazy how I never realized how bad they smell for 20+ yrs.

Tried one a couple weeks ago, two drags.....nauseating. I put it out and threw in the trash where it belongs.

I haven't had any desire to. They stink.

I had a camel after two months of not smoking and it actually tasted really good. It didn't smell good though

I still smoke some and hate it.... well, its a love/hate relationship really. I sure don't do it for the nic and my eroll satisfies hand-to-mouth. I think I do it for the feel. Smoke just feels different than vapor both in the mouth and inhaling. I have to work at getting past the taste... I actually work at it so there's something in smokes I'm willing to go through discomfort to get. Usually, I smoke in spurts of three or four drags on the same smoke several times a day... yuck, yuck, yuck. Then I vape to get the taste out of my mouth. My worst time is when I'm upset. I nearly go back to chain smoking then and it takes food, drink and vape to get that taste out of my mouth.

funny though..with the menthol vaping that seems to stay in my mouth too. It is really hard to vape something different and still not taste the menthol.

I probably take a drag off of my friends once every week, and then quickly rince off my lungs by enhaling huge quantities of White Lie from HHV.

It tastes exactly like..... hum..... what's that stuff called again?

Oh Yeah!

Crap!!!!

Just the thought makes me want too puke my guts out.

I am still not having issues with anolog taste..maybe it is just me or the fact that I smoke menthols. I have been vaping all tobacco flavors..could that be why?

I tried on Sunday after having a few shots at a bachelors party...It didn't taste like my e-juices and made me feel a lil sick so I tossed it

Not sure, djezewski, but you might be on to something, there.

My husband and I quit about 3 months ago now. A few weeks ago, we decided to buy a pack, smoke one each and I gave the rest to a homeless man outside the store. We got home and went to the garage and lit up. It was so awful. Husband almost got sick from it. I took a few puffs, but couldn't take it and put it out after only a few drags. I had to shower to get the awful smell off. It was a great learning experience and I will never try one again.

Yeah I went through a bad spot in my early vaping career when I thought I needed an cigarette. Everyone here described it perfectly as an astray. And I know every smoker has tasted ashes before at some point.

All I asked myself is this what my poor wife had to kiss everyday. Damn this must really be love.

Tried a black and mild the other day also. Something I would go to for a little more flavor. Ummmmmm vanilla type astray. Disgusting is all I can say.

I dont talk bad about cigs like some do here because it saved me from some killings, fights, strangled animals (pet groomer) etc...

I had one about 4 days in and it was disgusting. At work when someone lights up and the wind blows my way I can REALLY smell them now. Funny how you never realize how strong the scent is until you quit. Crazy now such a little thing can really screw with your senses. I now feel like I have a brand new nose and tongue, it's wonderful.

I'm with the guys (and gals) who say they don't know how they smoked for all those years. My GF still smokes and I can't stand the smell. And kissing her is pretty bad too. I made her really mad the other day. She kissed me and I said "ugh" afterwards. I thought I was a dead man. "Whatcha mean ugh?" "We'll see if I ever kiss you again." I tried to explain that it was the cigs but she wasn't hearing it. She barely talked to me the rest of the day.

I do the same to my wife although there is an element of

Wow, surprised to see so many people dislike the smell of cigarette smoke now ... To be honest, I absolutely LOVE the smell of cigarette smoke ... If I walk in my office building and someone's smoking a cigarette outside, I walk real slow, just to smell it ... It's smells delightful ...

THIS!!!
(As long as it's a quick whiff and I'm not standing in it.)

I've had a taster puff on three or four occasions, but haven't actually taken a real drag. The tasting was enough to convince myself that I wasn't missing anything, but I also didn't want to tempt myself with the chest hit (one of the only things I truly miss about smoking).

I have had one cigar since I dropped the analogs. I used to smoke about a half dozen or so a year, and will likely continue to do so as long as I can keep myself from inhaling the smoke instead of puffing on it like I should.




In some ways vaping is still not as satisfying as cigarettes. In others, like walking up stairs without coughing, I realize how much vaping rocks!

Here's to three smoke free(ish) months!
Cheers!

I've had no desire for a cigarette, more like an anti-desire. I carried one from my roommate's pack to take a size comparison picture and carrying it was completely foreign.

Now pipes are a different story. I have a desire to load up a bowl. I have a fear of the taste sending me back and a lack of desire for ashtray mouth. One of these days I'll load a bowel but not any time soon.
If I don't like it I'm going to have some income selling all my pipes and tobacco.

 

[jrod_141]

your stories are hilarious, and similar to mine. tried to have one of my wife's, but it tasted so bad, so ashy and disgusting that i couldn't do it! i never thought it would be so easy to not smoke, nor did i ever think that i wouldn't want one so badly!

 

[fullsleeve]

the stench that my co-workers bring around me after they smoke is enough to make me wana vom. god I cant believe I ever smelled like that. i have zero urge to ever smoke a cig, vaping gives me way more satisfaction and enjoyment than a $8 pack of cigs ever did
