HI

[md 1964]

I decided to take the plunge and brought my first E Cig on sunday . Living in the UK I decided to go for a British make called E Lite . I have been smokeing for over thirty years and really hope this wil help me knock real fags on the head . When you start E cigs how long does it take for the desire to pass for real cigs ? .
Hope to post on here lots more

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Everybody is different...some lose the analogs right away and some do both for some time before they switch to vaping alltogether. If you still smoke while vaping don't feel bad. Eventually you'll like vaping more than smoking.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on deciding to quit analogs.

I think it's going to be different for everyone. I smoked 2 PAD for 25 yrs and haven't had one since the day I started vaping. The first week for me was really easy, week 2 was a little more difficult actually. I made it a point to not put myself in situations that would tempt me. For example, I've been vaping now for about 8 weeks and have only been in a gas station 1 time - I just pay at the pump and go. Likewise, I've been in our local CVS twice (place I used to regularly buy my cigs) - the first visit was easy, the second (just a couple of days ago) set off a craving but I got through it.

From what I've read though alot of people go back and forth for a little while before kicking it for good. When I'm tempted I just remind myself of the reasons I quit - my wife and daughters - and it helps me to put things in perspective. Good luck to you!

Hi MD, welcome to the ECF! Congratulations on you big step.
It is different for everyone, just make sure you have some good juice and decent kit. Also don't start on low nic, and it will be easy!

yep everyone is different, I can sit down to eat with a bunch of smokers(everywhere here has outdoor seating) and not have a single craving. now put me at the bar inside with no smoking and a few drinks later bammmmmm. out of now where i will have a craving. even at the almost 2 year point, what helps me get by is i keep a higher mg juice on hand for nights out and when my normal just isnt cutting it.
