I can hang out with smokers!

I think that one of the best things about vaping is that you don't have to modify your whole life to appreciate the health benefits. I'm in a band and we normally take 1-2 smoke breaks per practice session. It's where we talk about how things are going musically, where to book shows, etc. When I tried to quit with Chantix, I couldn't participate in these discussions because being around a cigarette would make me want one. Now I just pull out my KR808D-1 and join in the conversation. I don't feel left out and have no desire to ask the other guys for a cigarette!

Firefox335 - Isn't it just great about the little things!!! I fully understand what you are saying about hanging out with other who are smoking and not having it bother you while you are "smoking" your e-cig. I live in a house of smokers and does not bother me at all.
Good luck on your music and your e-cigs! Have a great weekend!

I only smoked around 3-10 cigarettes per day, and usually around 5 on average.

I could go all day without a cigarette and not even think about it...
Until I saw someone smoking, and then I had to have one.

And once I got it into my head that I had to have one, well, I HAD to have one.
The rest of life would cease until I had a cigarette.

One of the biggest shockers to me was seeing someone smoking and not wanting one.
In fact, the only thing I feel now is a desire to tell them about electronic cigarettes!!

I can be around smokers but I can't say I like it. I also hate to have my clothes and hair smell like stale smoke from being near smokers. If only they knew how bad they smell

Although now I can smell the smoke a lot more than I used to, it really doesn't bother me. I was never offended by the smell much, even before I started smoking. What offends me is the cancer, emphysema, heart disease, etc. Everytime I see someone smoking now, I know I've made a much healthier choice.

Being a musician it would be difficult if you couldn't be around smokers, especially if gigging. Not sure about where you live, but here in FL you can still smoke in bars.

I was a gigging player for many years, played keybords through the 90's, big hair, spandex, all that. I would have never been able to quit during that time, smoking in the clubs all the time.

Glad you found your groove through vaping.
I think the reason e-cigs work better is because they go up to 11. You see analogs only go up to 10, but the e-cig goes to 11.....
