Hello and Thanks

[yeggim]

First off, I'd like to thank the vaping community at large and especially this forum for 86 smoke free days. I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for the knowledge gained here that enabled me to help my wife accomplish the same 86 days. I was a pack and a half to two pack a day smoker for about 40 years.

Money was the main impetus and I've pocketed close to 700 dollars so far. Add in the fact that the gubmint is down about 600 dollars and I'm tickled pink. No real side effects or problems so far. Still at 24mg juice but my wife is down to 18mg juice. It's a real win-win-win situation. vaping tastes so much better, breathing and circulation have improved and putting that money in my pocket instead of the insatiable maw of gubmint is icing on the icing.

Again, my heartfelt thanks
yeggim/Bill

Congratulations to you and your wife!
Your post is an inspiration to me. I've been vaping for about two months, but I'm also still smoking
4-6 cigs a day. I sometimes get discouraged, but there's no way I'm giving up. I'll get there, but
it's just going to take a while.

Thanks. It's like the Encyclopedia Britannica of vaping here.

SMITTY , I vaped for about a month and half while still smoking. I was smoking 3+ cigs a day while keeping in mind that i wanted to quit; and I did. The last day I smoked I only had one cigarette and it make me feel crappy with the chemically taste. The first three days of withdrawl from all the chemicals on cigs are the hardest then it gets easier! DON'T GIVE UP!!!! The tobacco companies have to be ...... losing so many customers to Vaping.

Great post. Congrats on your success, and also your wife's! This forum is the place to find out anything you need to know, and is a lot of fun, also.

Thanks BrianMANN, I need all the encouragement I can get, and there's no way
I'm gonna give up!!

I do too!
I always try to encourage at least trying it before you discount it.
Vaping is not the same and will not produce the same results but it is a wonderful alternative.

Congrats! I wish more people would try vaping and quit smoking.

Congrats!!

I love reading success stories

Smittytoo.. You will get there!!
There is nothing wrong with a slow transition! Not everyone can put down the analogs the day they pick up vaping. For many it takes a little time

Hey smitty, only 4 to 6 a day is quite the accomplishment. At a pack a day, that's a 70% to 80% reduction. That's certainly nothing to sneeze at.

fantastic! every day gets better....this is my first spring in too many years that i can smell the dirt in my garden and the blooming shrubs. life without cigs is a wonderful thing...pass it on every time you can. <*}}}>{

I started vaping 8 months ago, and have since introduced it to 7 people in my small town. It just keeps growing, welcome to the community.

 

[smittytoo]

Thanks Amraann and yeggim for the kind words, and yeggim, you and your wife have done
an amazing job and I'm looking forward to being where you're at now.
