40+ days analog free and can't agree more smokers stink no wonder my parents and GF called me Stinky :) and I just coudln't smell it now I can smell it a mile away . I could never have less than 2 or 3 smokes on a break at work and same on the drive to and from work now I can take a few hits off my 901 on my breaks and be totally satisfied , not even bother to vape on my drive to and from work where it would kill me to not have a smoke on my drive now it is a non issue .

i understand what you meant Queen, and congrats on being tobacco free. tomorrow marks my 3rd week without a cigarette... i'm really amazed, and also proud :)

like you i also hope this will be a sucessful alternative for my own loved ones who are heavy smokers... now that i'm "free" i look back on my nearly decade long love affair w/ cigarettes and i feel, almost wronged. like a slave to the tobacco companies and big pharma, paying whatever the price and inhaling whatever the toxins for my addiction.

while i dont have anything against smoking cigarettes or e-cigarettes (i have no intention of quitting nicotine myself), my eyes have really been opened to what smoking cigarettes really is. while we all knew "smoking can kill you" that doesn't seem to matter when its the only pleasurable option for a very real need. now that e-cigarettes are available i've been able to open my eyes to the severity of what i was exposing my body to.

i believe everyone should have the right to smoke or esmoke without judgement, but for myself i'm extremely grateful for this new product and i hope my loved ones will also be able to have similar experiences.

Bravo. Truer words couuldn't be spoken:w00t::thumbs::thumbs::w00t:

Being able to quit tobacco and vape has been like an incredible miracle for me....but unfortunately our governments are very likely to take the miracle away and ban it.......and I know I will simply go back to being a 'stinky' tobacco smoker again and that's what depresses me.

Oh I understand where you are coming from. But we can't think this way. We have to be proactive at keeping it going and learning how to be self-suffecient at making our own.

The worst critics of smoking are ex-smokers, such as myself. I smoked all those years oblivious to the smell and after I quit I noticed how sensitive I was to cigarette smell. My father was one of the worst ex-smokers, when I was still puffing away. He smoked Kools for over 30 yrs. and I cringed every time he started to complain.

My mom was the same way, however, she is pretty bad.

She probably smoked a couple a day, and still views herself as an ex-bigtime smoker.

She says, "I quit them really easy. It's hard for me to understand why you can't."

Once my sense of smell really started to come back, and I started to fully get the odor of people that just finished smoking, I apologized to my fiance for smelling like smoke all this time. lol
