Hi! I'm rahn from tucson. been smoking for seems like forever but actually around forty years. been wanting to quit for a long time; tried patches and pills and just plain old will power to no avail. Well, after listeng to crazy frank talking about freedom smoke and how cool it is every morning on his radio show, I finally got my booty down there and checked it out. I was pleasantly surprised to find the atmosphere there so inviting, with comfortable seating TV's and munchies laid out. the people there are very nice and wanting to help however they can and the girls are very easy on the eyes (which is always a plus). well it was friday when i finally got my Jessy M. and got rid of my cigs. Hadn't had a cigarette since and really enjoy my jessy. It's only been 2 days but i think I'm finally on my way to a smoke free life....thankyou frank, thankyou freedom smoke crew for showing me the way...

Hate to be a bummer, but not true for all of us.

Ya i guess you are right from the other posts i see on the forum from day to day.
I guess for me i have tried every option imagineable but to no avail. The e cigg was the last resort after so many failed attempts.
I am also wondering if the e cigg would have worked for me ten years ago hmmm. After 20 years of smoking I'm at the point were i desperately needed to do something. I guess i'm just so happy i have found something that works for me at this point in my life! I still get urges but feel going back is not an option for me but only time will tell, i have only been analog free for maybee 4 months.
Would you agree it's the best and most powerfull tool to quite smoking on the market today?
Anyway good luck charlie girl and your efforts to quite.

Thanks for the welcome and comments everyone,
Charliegirl, I can understand how you feel. I felt the same trying to quit before but this time, I am determined. I Have actually quit for longer before and gone back; but with these vapers it seems so much easier, I guess with the combination of goin thru the motions and actually feeling and tasting it as you inhale and see the smoke or I mean vapor come out plus giving you a dose of nicotine. I can even blow smoke rings or i mean vapor rings...And yes, couch magnet, I agree with you about this being the best tool for quitting smoking...If I keep vaping and hold on to my positive attitude I will quit the coffin nails...I can see I have a good group of people that are happy to give advice and show me support; that means alot also...

Thanks hon. I do agree with you and I didn't mean to sound so pessimistic, I've been smoking a l - o - o - o - n - g time (40+ years) and have tried quitting many many times. Talking about being desperate to have something work! I guess you can't expect a habit like that to just go away but I had my hopes on vaping in a big way since I read and saw so much about how people smoking for years took a few puffs, and poof, the end of cigarettes for them! I wanted that too! Realistically, I am thrilled with the progress so far, down from 2+ packs a day to less than a half pack most days. without much effort at all. That is definitely great, and I really am happy about it, but now I feel saddled with the paraphernalia for addiction times 2! I never keep the cigs near-by, I eliminated all the visual cues, keep my trusty Tornado with me at all times and do a ton of positive self talk...and out of the blue comes that tidal wave of craving for that friggin' smoking demon! If you could hear me talking to myself you would probably have me committed because I sound like a lunatic! I want to be an ex-smoker! I want to feel the success of accomplishment finally, and not be my own worst enemy! Maybe, like I've heard from many, I just need to chill out and give it time, quit pressuring myself and be happy with the progress I have made... every cigarette NOT smoked is an accomplishment. I believe it, so WHY do I let it taunt me? I'm not a masochist! Jeez! It makes no sense. But I guess addiction never does! If anyone has any insight, please, lay it on me!!!

Yall will get it done, positive thinking and 36mg nic and fresh batteries will eventually win the war. Hell I dont even want a cig when I am drinking anymore. But believe me I have strong juices and fresh batteries before I do, I vape heavily but its better than giving in. Plus I like it when people ask "what is that" its a game changer for alot of people though. It doesnt bother me, I do it in front of cops just to see if they will say anything and so far not 1 has. I love vaping.
