How you quit analogs

[hjstaruk]

Thanks for all the great info. Makes me ask... can you vape in the hospital?
I know I would at least stealth vape.

I recently spent 4 days in a hospital and was able to vape the entire time. Nurses often commented on the aroma - things like "smells like someone is eating pancakes" when I was vaping an apple-caramel ejuice.

My doctor had being trying to get me to kick smoking for years. He thinks the ecigarette is great.

I was a heavy smoker for 56 years & quit the day I received my Joye 510 kit. I've been analog free for 8 months & have no cravings for analogs. The cravings went away after about 2 months of vaping. Thanks for the post.

Well the thing about trying to quit smoking with an addiction aid or supplement is it's like trying to stop eating normal food by using nutritional drinks. If the predominant addiction was really nicotine and not routine/habit or enjoyment, even patches and nicotine gums would have great success rates.

I get an urge to have an analog when I'm driving and smell the aroma from another driver's cigarette. Probably because I always smoked while commuting but not much while at work.

I switched to e-cigs full time last May after being a PAD Marlboro smoker for nearly 30 years.

I got my first PV on a Thursday, a homemade box mod that a co-worker had built for me, and started experimenting with it that weekend.

Then, during week one of the switch, I substituted the e-cig for all my smoking except for 4 cigarettes a day: morning, lunch, afternoon commute, and before bed. I stuck with that routine for a week.

For weeks 2 and 3, I cut back to only 2 analogs a day: morning and before bed.

By week 4, I cut out analogs completely.

Since the full time switch, I've revisited analogs 4 or 5 times, (the last one being in early January). I've yet to smoke a whole one, though, because they taste ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! Honestly, I can't help but think that if cigarettes tasted THIS bad when I first began smoking, I never would have started. Then I realize that they probably tasted just as bad back then, and I can't imagine why the hell I ever continued to smoke them.
