Ahhhh....you need to revise your plan then.....add a preliminary step of 'convert girlfriend to vaping' in order to strengthen your resolve! lol

It's really tough with another smoker in the house. My husband still smokes, though he tries to stay away from me when he does. I can still smell it and I must admit, it smells good and I crave. As the days of being smoke free are beginning to add up, I'm becoming stronger and stronger so as to not spoil my run of smokefree days.

i only like the smell the first 3-5 second then it smells like a dirty ciggy , but that first second when the fresh tobacco ignites before you smell second hand smoke is just SOOOOO GOOOOOOD ,it is hard with one smoking still but like i said 3-4 a day isnt bad for me , its the pack a day plus 2-3 ml of vaping a day that wasnt going to well
at least we dont smoke in our home so i dont have that pressure

it's funny. my friends are so worried about lighting up in front of me that they have even asked if I mind when in their own homes LOL. go ahead. but here, try this first (hand them my pv). sometimes they just vape with me now though instead. giving away a carto is about the same price as a smoke anyway and I always pack spare batteries..

good luck wood, you can do it. fight those urges. just remember everytime we cave to the death sticks, it just enforces the ciggy's will on us. it's like they talk to our brains. the more you ignore their pleading, the less they try to sway you. after 2-3 days the physical addiction is gone. it's bveating the mental aspect after that. 1 vape at a time brutha

Who says you can't enjoy the smell of a burning cigarette still? I catch it in traffic sometimes, or walking down the street, some guy walks by with a cigarette going and I think "Damn that smells good". I'm also lately thinking "Man I'm glad I don't have to smoke that cigarette, it doesn't taste anywhere near as good as it smells.." congrats to you for cutting down!

Just keep at it, I agree.

ya no doubt not everyone picks it up and quits right away and to be almost a year in and able to do 3 smokes a day is still good i just gotta move forwards instead of falling backwards again

You need to find what works for you, if you find yourself smoking again then focus on the success you've had, going however long that was without one. The cold turkey approach may end up working for you, but then again you may need something else. Going from 3 packs a day to one is a major accomplishment. If you need to do this in steps then that's fine, but keep in mind that each step is a step forward toward your goal. If you have to smoke again it isn't a failure, but I can tell you that if you believe it is, it will make things much more difficult. So much of this is a mental game and when you focus on the negative the tobacco wins. So just take things as they come and whatever happens it's an advancement not a failure

 

[wood]

ya no doubt the most i ever smoked was a pack a day though i could never do 3

 

[IanK1968]

I see you've gone 7 days wood, good stuff. Keep up the good work man.

 

[Pipeous]

nice job dude, you've allready beat the most evil week.

 

[wood]

nah my counters a liar

 

[smokum]

If your happy with "youself"..... I'm happy for "you" !

 

[Lori68]

Wow, maybe I am the exception to the newer vaping croud - I actually can't stand the smell of cigarettes now. I find that if I catch a whiff of it I almost feel like I've stuck my nose in a dirty ashtray. It could also just be that my sense of smell has changed too (ever since I hit my forties certain smells can really make me ill).

But keep your head up wood. One day smokes will be just a memory

Hope you are a Family Guy fan

Hey look Chris, I'm Yanni
Faker. Hey everybody he's a faker.

stupid clip came to mind when you said that haha

Lori68,
I'm the same way, you're not alone. I find the smell disgusting.

Keep on it wood, everyone has to go at their own pace. Going from a pack a day to only three is a great improvement!!
