I hate to admit this...i had a cigarette today

[asidrave]

not a whole one...only 2 drags.

i havent touched a cigarette in 72 days

it tasted good to me...just like it did when i first started smoking. a marlboro light. altho i used to smoke marlboro smooth and before that marlboro lights menthol

i took 2 hits and passed it back to my friend.

curiosity got the best of me of just wanting to know what it tasted like after a long time of not smoking.

i definitely do not see myself going back to smoking...vaping is just much more enjoyable for me.

i too have had the occasional smoke...maybe 10 since april 1st... nice considering i was a pack and a half a day smoker.... and those are only when im out for the night and have dead batteries and get a nic craving..... i find when i have an analog, its like smoking my first one ever... lightheadedness, a slight sick feeling in the stomach.... so i guess the lightheaded feeling isnt really all from the nicotine.. must be the arsenic or whatever the heck they put in those coffin nails..

 

[LuckySevens4U]

It's okay. I just don't even want to TOUCH one. I've made up my mind to never touch one again, so I am just not going to give in. I know for some people it helps them realize ick, I'm glad I'm vaping, but I don't even want to try. I have zero desire anymore.

 

[MissVapor]

I wouldn't think twice about it! You get more intoxicating fumes from the cars driving down the road than 2 drags..give yourself a break..

 

[asidrave]

i did get just a bit light headed as well from just those 2 drags.

i really do not like the second hand smoke smell....when i am around people that smoke..i take a few steps back.

the more i think about it...im sooo happy i found vaping...and this forum

[eplanet]

yea, I am disgusted with myself, I can't believe I was a "smoker" for almost 20 years....uuuugh gross!!!

 

[Mary Kay]

Dave, 2 drags in 73 days! That is awsome. I hope I can make it that far.

 

[Rhetoric Camel]

I smoke 2 to 3 cigs now since I got my ecig on 4/22, used to be a pack a day smoker, I still like the occasional one, although after words I feel the need to take a drag or two off my ecig.

 

[asidrave]

20 years for me too...

funny thing too is i remember when i was a kid...i liked the smell of cigarettes...i guess they smelled better years ago

seriously....no way would i ever get back to smoking.

it took me a week of cleaning the interior of my car to get rid of the stale cigarette smoke out of my car....and...i still smell it.....thank goodness for febreeze

if you are smoking less now since you started vaping...to me that is awesome

It is amazing what hold a habit can have. After I started vaping, I occasionally jonesed for a "real cigarette". I'd smoke half of it and would ask myself afterward "why the hell did I do that?"... it just doesn't give me what I think I'm gonna get out of it. One day, my wife stole my PV for the day, so I did analogs. By the time I got it back the next day, I was aching for it cuz analogs sucked so bad compared to vaping.

All that and still it hits me from time to time to "try" another analog. I don't listen to most of that internal dialog; but if I ever do hit another analog it only reminds me of why I like vaping better. In a way, every time I do that, it gets me farther away from them, wierd as that sounds.

 

[calligal]

After about 30 days analog free my batteries died. I smoked a couple analogs left over from 2 years ago. The 1st one made me almost ill and I put it out early. Then the nicotine need kicked in, and I smoked the rest of it. The second one I smoke a couple of hours later and it was gone so fast I did not even remember smoking it. I did not feel ill and it was gone so fast I did not even remember smoking it.
I found a way to use the tip of a universal adapter to heat up the atomizer so I could vap until my replacement batteries arrived the next day.
Funny thing, before I found that solution I was going to visit my old cigarette store... not to buy cigarettes but to see if he had stocked up on e-cigs. I even had my husband check the mall near is work for a Smoking Everywhere kiosk (there was one but I told him to walk away)
I'll take vaping over cigarettes any day. Though, if I ran into someone with a djarum clove I would probably smoke it and love it, which is why I will not keep any in the house.

 

[laynies]

You could look at it this way..

Would you rather be a smoker who occasionally vapes or a vaper who occasionally smokes?

If nothing else you've proved to yourself that you prefer vaping over smoking.. that's a good thing

I still have the urge for a cig, mostly when playing video games, but, so far I have been able to stay away from them. I have been off analogs since 4-3-09 I smoked for 30 yrs pack and a half on the week days and 2-3 packs on the weekends. I never tried to quit I wanted to, but smoking was so intagrated in my life that I was afraid to as I thought I would go nuts, I think it's a nervous habbit for me as much as an addiction.

It's amazing to me how bad cigs smell on people, cars etc... this alone is a big help for me to stay off the analogs.

That's no kidding!!!! My job dictates I visit others homes (claims based). Today I walked into a home and thought wow....it smells like stale, musty ... in here. Sure enough, after a few minutes I hear the ever-so identifiable sound of the "flick of the bic". Yes it's his house, but it still ...... me off. I asked nicely....so how long you been smoking? Then said 19 year smoker here, kicked the habit two weeks ago tomorrow. He said oh sorry, I shouldn't be doing it in front of you then! He then proceeded to finish it, and light another. His time I had scheduled went from 40 minutes, to getting out in 15. It is his right to smoke in his own home, and his 5 year old who was there....but I also have the right not to stink like his ash tray the rest of the day. I'm not a smoke nazi, but the way I figured if I am going to walk around smelling like burnt ... all day, I might as well just go get a pack and mow them down myself.

 

[TDM]

I took 2 drags off my wive analog. All I could taste was burning paper. Then I tossed my lunch!

 

[LuckySevens4U]

The other way I look at it guys, I SWEAR on this I swear that we were addicted to a ton of chemicals in those things. We were addicted to more than just nicotine, that's why we would still crave one at first. I KNOW I NOW have all those chemicals out of my body after 2 months now and that is why my craving has finally gone away totally for one. So my point is, just by giving into 1 or 2 ciggys and putting those chemicals back in your body, can make you continue to crave one again. So I just DON'T do it. That's my thoughts anyhow....

 

[bismarcksea]

Analogs smells AWFUL to me and I've only just quit.


Im doing very well, had about 1 real cig a day since I got my Vape. I ran out of the last of my Analogs so tomorrow is going to be a 100% vape day.

 

[Thick Snaps]

I received my first e-cig today, and I love it. I smoked three newports today before it arrived, and have not smoked another one yet. For some reason, I thought about smoking one around 5:00, but used my 901 instead. I just wanted to congradulate you on making it 72 days. Wow, I can't imagine what that must feal like. Don't worry about the two hits, you are inspiration, and I hope and llook forward to being able to say that I am 72 days, cigarette free.

not a whole one...only 2 drags.

i havent touched a cigarette in 72 days
