Color me skeptical. I remember people saying they'd quit if cigarettes ever got to $1.00 a pack. The first pack I bought for myself cost $0.75 from a machine.
How many have snuck in the occasional cigarette while vaping?

I've been vaping going on 4 years and same for my wife. However, she like to buy a pack and smoke when she drinks and it would get me, I would smoke one with her. Or if she was smoking and we were arguing I would steal one from her. Just about 4 months ago, I broke the cycle and haven't smoked since... I no longer enjoy the taste and the feeling. I'm a big cloud and flavor lung hitter and cigs just don't satisfy me in the slightest anymore.
Several of the past few years I've told myself that I would smoke one cigarette on my vaperversary just to see what it was like. Every year I forget.
No! He doesn't smoke, he buys them for me and keeps them handy because I've gone out 3AM to get me some...
Every few months, when visiting family (it isn't a coping strategy. Drinking covers that.).
I enjoy it, though it's a little underwhelming.
All smoking paraphernalia is left behind.

Just come into convo, if only 2 a week easy joy for you dont have them
Hi deleron
Dont feel like that, this is open communication i think the only time you will feel bad is within yourself thats a period you will ride. If people are making you feel bad that is what your accepting. Dont. Learn from this. Any consolation i havent had a smoke in 5 weeks nealy and no need to but i do like reading this stuff i think it keeps me on board. I have a saying you can listen but in this case read... but filter what you want to accept and the rest just dis regard.
I did when I first started vaping. Took me 2-3 weeks to find the right setup (Bad research on my part and bad info from the local shops). After that, though....haven't had a puff in a little over 2 years. I knew if I justified dual using to myself, I'd never completely quit...which was the goal.
That, said, I don't judge those who do. Any harm reduction is a very good thing.

Well, I'm currently a dual user, but when I smoked, I didn't SNEAK smoke, per se. I sort of just SMOKKKKKKED a lot. A few days ago I kinda made a commitment to try and stop and have been steadily decreasing, 1/2 one yesterday (and it was gross).
I can't say I'd call my smoking "sneak" anything, I whined about it and made a big production about it, but that is not unusual behavior for me.
But no, I didn't try to HIDE it from anyone for example, god, the husband's just lucky I didn't do in in the HOUSE frankly. Etc. If I'm smoking, I'm usually in a state such that should anyone CHALLENGE me for any reason, well they'd get an earful and a plume of smoke DIRECTLY in their face. But then again, I can be a pretty horrible person and if I am SMOKING, at all, well I am at my most horrible, let me put it that way.
I am not the sort to engage in a recreational cigarette or two, and that is how it is. I actively AVOID that, because I never ,know what will Happen Next.
So to those of you who can do it, I salute you. LOL.

No I haven't sneaked a smoke at all. More to the reason cigarettes are expensive here $40 a packet. So If I would smoke a ciggie it would have to be a blackmarket ciggie but they taste absolutely horrible. So no sneaky smoke for me. I'm happy vaping, buying mods on the other hand is an addiction for me lol.
Sorry honey, you're a fixture here now. You are not permitted to leave. You know someone would track you down and drag you back anyways

Since I first started vaping over 6 1/2 years ago, I may have had 10.
Two of them might have been sneaky, the rest were to piss off my friends and family that still smoke.
For real, I probably haven't had a cig in over 3 years.

Not since 4/11/2012. There were multiple times I wanted one early on but knew from previous experience one cigarette would have completely derailed me. 40 year smoker, 3 pad at the end. For me 1 is too many and 100 is not enough. Doesn’t bother me anymore, wife still smokes, sometimes I like the smell of her cigarette other times I don’t even notice.
I tried 1 cigarette about 2 years ago for no other reason but to see if i could see myself smoking again. It had the most revolting taste i ever put in my mouth. Couldn't even finish half of it. Makes me wonder how i ever smoked these day in and day out. It just reinforced the fact im a vapor for life!
What astonishes me (now) is like how anyone starts in the first place. I mean, I did not care for the "taste" at all starting out. It took someone teaching me to inhale (yeah, yeah) for me to really "get" into it, but what amazes me is how I actually managed to enjoy it enough to get hooked. Either the effects are almost instantaneous on some of us, well it still is weird.
I mean, I had a freaky, stupid rationale to start, which included "I'm sure it will be easy enough to quit once I am back on US soil" (that had to be one of the worst predictions I ever made) but it wasn't the taste really, or even the effects that did much for me to start with.
I am afraid I usually enjoy my first cigarette no matter how long the break from it has been, I mean I have the kind of brain that just associates effects to taste pretty strongly so they never taste like burning rubber, asphalt, or any of the usual suspects. I've had plenty of cigarettes taste AWFUL (that happens when you are up to 3 ppd) but like my FIRST cigarette? It's usually heaven.
It's also why I don't even bother trying tobaccos, no point, if anything they'd probably make me want to smoke more, but I really don't GET the initial cigarette thing, I don't really understand how anyone pushes through it and my first real inhaled cigarette well that time is pretty hazy. But, I guess like, somehow I just pushed through.
That's why the government probably hates the teen group of vapers so much. Like, apparently I was willing to "push through" that initial yuck I guess, I was dumb and stupid, but now that smoking is like a social pariah type thing, you just like see less adult smokers being born.
I suppose my dad being a smoker didn't hurt I mean, I was his favorite kid and while he was ah, "quitting" for my mom, well he'd take me to the NIH and like scoop butts out of the ashtrays out of the elevators before taking me to the lab and like, I'd pipette and stuff while he finished up experiments.
I think that's probably why I find the smell of smoking sort of comforting generally, even though I KNOW my husband should switch and all, I still find his cigarette stink not even remotely upsetting, in fact I kind of like it.
I don't know, it's weird.

I'm one who dropped my smoking rate drastically the first week I vaped. At my one year anniversary vaping I decided to see if I could quit the last few. I was down from 2PAD to about 6 a day, so I finished the last pack and never wanted another one. That was in early 2011. I have yet to want one since. Vaping is the cure if you use high nic juice to accomplish it.
I've been down to 3mg nic and recently I've been vaping 6mg nic juice. I think I vape a little less, but the throat hit with 50pg/50vg is higher. When I first started vaping I was vaping 90pg/10vg. Can't imagine doing that again.
