Went on a cruise and bought a Green Leaf set up to get me through the no smoking areas. 9 months now...........
Based on all the people here at ECF who share stories about quitting smoking the day they started vaping lead me to think that soon - or at least within a few years - vaping will prove to be the #1 most effective stop-smoking method.
No wonder BT wants vaping to die a quick death.

Same here! I started vaping in my car passing thru Warner Robbins and haven't stopped since!
agreed! i've never once heard someone say "the day i put that patch on/chewed that gum/took that med was the day i never smoked a cig again"
it's ridiculous how easy it is.
i bought a disposable ecig just to see what all the hype was about...one week later, haven't smoked in 4 days (only smoked 3 cigs a day for three days because i had a pack of cigs left, and even then i quit on them 3/4 of the way) so yes, eventually something is going to have to give. the government wants their taxes and BT won't go down without a fight.
Let's see..I tried #'s 1,2,3,4,6,7,9,10,and #11. I have an electric cigarette roller, a carton of tubes and a half pound of tobacco in the drawer in the kitchen, they've been there for 2 months.
I quit smoking the day my son gave me an E-go and a bottle of RY4 juice, 2 months ago. To be tobacco free after 40 years is so great I haven't the words to tell. But my fear is that peoples ignorance of vaping will ruin this for everyone who have been liberated. We have smokers rights and non-smokers rights and I just joined CASAA, hopefully they will be a voice for vapers.

I haven't fully given up analogs yet, but have cut down from over a pack a day to 5 or 6. I think I finally found a juice I enjoy, since I filled a tank with it this afternoon I haven't had a cig (appx 6 hours). I already find myself starting to dislike the taste of cigs...
I bought a protank 2 and an ego twist. At first I was still buying cigarettes because I didn't want to risk breaking my tank at work, but after I quit (temporarily), I haven't even wanted to smoke an analog.
Now that I'm back at work, everyone and their mother has one now, the smoking area is now being called the vape lounge haha.

Switched to vaping but the legislation in my country is making me go back to smoking!!!!
I tried to stop so many times over the 27 years I smoked. Then finally one day a friend of mine pulled out an eGo/CE4 loaded with 18mg/ml blueberry and gave me a go. I had no idea what a massive effect it would have on me. I quit smoking with one drag of that eGo. That was 9 months ago, and I will never smoke again for as long as I live.
If you'll excuse me, I have some very nice Roar Vapor's Green Peach Tea loaded in a cartotank that is begging me to vape it. Gotta go

ugh. the whole reason i hadn't even tried to quit before this is # 1-10 on that list..... all that crap about "treatment", "therapy" (GROUP therapy? GAH. are they kidding? *shudder*) "counseling", blah blah blah, YAK. All that crap was the LAST thing i wanted. just the thought of those things made me cringe, and scream and run, lol. i am not SICK, i don't need "medicine". i do not have an ILLNESS, i don't need "therapy". I had a HABIT for fracks sake. i also was not about to take prescription medications with side effects that sound nearly as dangerous to the health as the smoking itself.
when i heard about vaping a month ago it was the first time i thought, wait what? now THIS, i can do.
the first day i vaped, about a week ago, i went from a pack and a half down to about 10 smokes, then decreased every day til i got down to about 3, then when that pack was empty, just didn't buy another.
that was two days ago and now i'm done.
ugh, BLERK, GAK. No shaming or judgement from a doctor or "counselor", 
no dependance on anything or anyone to "do it for me" - only my own volition, at my own speed, and with the TASTY bonus of delicious juices.
i dunno ... i think this could put Chantix and Zyban and nic gum right outta business!!

TOTALLY. never ever woulda thunk it. but this made it SUPER easy - no suffering, no withdrawal symptoms, no airy fairy touchy-feely "sharing" with a group,

It just took me a week of vaping and smoking to see that vaping was the way to go. I didn't even plan it. Once I had a good set up (an Ego instead of the V2 unit), it took a day and a half of just vaping (non-smoking without even realizing it) to realize I could quit this nasty habit.
And I did.

first good drag off the ego, i got light headed from nicotene. i actually said outloud to myself ' why in the !@#$ would anyone smoke cigarettes with this being an option???'

i had the v2 also..just didnt cut it..ego twist hit the spot perfectly. bye bye export a gold, 5 days and counting.
Congrats to you, jdm1982, 5 days will turn into 5 weeks, which will turn into 5 months. You are on the RIGHT track!
I am number 11 (vaping) although tried most of the others mentioned in the first post before.
After 29 years of a PAD or more I had tried to quit quite a few times for many different reasons.
This time was different though.....
I bought an iTaste MVP with iClear30 tank and some Grandma's cookies juice (tastes just like Mother's iced oatmeal cookies) one day, and gave away what I had left in my pack of smokes (and my lighter) before I drove home from work.
I didn't need (or want) them anymore.
That was more than a month ago. I still have the last pack of cigarettes I ever bought sitting on my workbench (next to all the vape gear).
It's still wrapped in plastic.
When I hit 6 months without a cigarette I will put that unopened pack in a plastic box with a plaque that reads, "The last pack of cigarettes I ever bought, and NEVER opened".
It will be displayed (proudly) in my workshop.
