Noticed something last night, watching TV. Character on the show lit up a cig, drawn out scene for dramatic effect, had a craving, thought of "boy that looks good" for a second. Sat back and vaped some more.

p.s. I've been vaping in the low teens forever. Only time I've gone to higher wattage is for some weird exotic coil builds, fun but not my everyday vape.

Hmmmmm...

So I don't really have any cravings for a cigarette.
But for the first 5 years or so of vaping I would have one now and then for fun.

Over the last 2.5 years of vaping I just don't even want one.
They kinda make me sick now.

And since I stopped using nicotine about a year ago, I imagine even more so.

Having said all that, I'll still have a cigar any time I want.
And the next time I go on a cruise, you can bet I'll have at least one every night.

Before dinner I would have one of these martini flights which I would take into the cigar bar...
I just wish I could remember what they all were.
:laugh:

It's too bad we can't just go ahead and live on a cruise ship.

    I wouldn't recommend someone trying a cig who hasn't had one in quite long. But I know what will happen if I have one, I'll be done with it after the first, better drags and then go back to vaping. One of the advantages of quitting through dual use.

    Occasionally the smell of someone lighting a cigarette with a match still smells good. I have had thoughts occasionally but not an actual craving. 2 years 4 months and counting. The first year there were times when it seemed like a great idea. Then I would smell a smoker and that would cure me.

    Wow, the mental associations some of us make -- lighting a cig with a MATCH??!! That's even worse than a Zippo! Even as a smoker, I sometimes considered not smoking when that was the options.

    Just finished dinner and this would be the time for a smoke a few years ago but now after some nice BBQ'ed London Broils finishing a glass of red wine and firing the Aster RT22 with Glas PBLS or COPYRIGHTDMCA.

    After a good meal is definitely challenging! Especially if there's wine involved. I almost had one last time I went wine tasting as I went on an empty stomach and got a buzz!

    Your still only a few months into it and I know how you feel and I could actually have just one and not want another but it just isn't worth it. The last time I did it the stink was just so bad I could not wash it off or brush it away. I like my Tobacco vapes after a meal but digging on this COPYRIGHTDMCA and trying to finish off the tank so I can fill it with Broke Dicks the 15th.

    This is the description

    Banana Cream Pie covered in peanut butter. The Greatest mix since rhythm & blues paired with Country to make Rock-n-Roll. A flavor even the king himself couldn't resist.

    I like the name of it too. For some reason it makes me smile looking at the bottle

    One more thing about cigarettes (sorry, after the previous exchange): anyone else ever feel like they needed a smoke, only to look down and realize you're already smoking one? The things don't even satisfy the very urge they create! Never had that with vaping, although how much of that is greater satisfaction and how much is loss of unsatisfyable urges I don't know.

    If I remember right the cravings only last 2 minutes and you just have to say you not having one. A good friend who passed away from smoking related illnesses always used to tell me.....

    It's OK to want one just don't have it! Got me through the cravings just thinking of my buddy Wayne.

    RIP Wayne
