I quit vaping cold turkey 7 weeks ago. Didnt want to feel like a slave to nicotine. Anyone else....?

[guyvelella]

Does anyone else have the same thoughts? I was so dependent on vaping that I took my ecig everywhere and couldnt even go to the bathroom without it. Too much money was being wasted. What was wasted on this addiction probably couldve bought a new car. I was sort of shamed into quitting by my mom. She's extremely anti tobacco/anti ecigs, that she believes all the propaganda about it being as bad as real cigarettes. I was so embarrassed by my ecig use that I always hid my habit and never admitted to using it. Plus the fact that smokers look old/ugly fast and are perceived as losers was something I didnt want to deal with. Even though vaping isnt as bad as smoking, the evidence shows nicotine alone ages you just like cigarettes would.

I'm old and guess you're not. Over a lifetime of smoking I've quit several time with the longest being 6 months. Always came back to haunt me and so easy to get right back into it. I've vaped for two years now and still have an occasional cig. I'd like to quit nicotine and caffeine but not going to risk going back to smoking to do it.

Welcome. I was just taking too much time away from my wife and kids. A bit tired of the coughing and throat clearing. I just was planning on cutting down some and did to about 6 aday for about 6wks then quit. Tapering was probably the best thing for me given the amount of problems many here get from cold turkey.

Hoping to do the same soon!

occasional cig.

I guess you're part of the group that can do that and they taste fine. I've always went with the people that say they taste horrible and trust in that for myself. About every few months I get a taste for one.

you sound like you shouldn't be vaping anyway ... how old are you?

Does anyone else have the same thoughts? I didnt want to lose any more money on nicotine products. What was wasted on this addiction probably couldve bought me a new car. I was sort of shamed into quitting by my mom. She's extremely anti tobacco/anti ecigs, that she believes all the propaganda about it being as bad as real cigarettes. I was so embarrassed by my ecig use that I always hid my habit and never admitted to using it. Plus the fact that smokers look old/ugly fast and are perceived as losers was something I didnt want to deal with. Even though vaping isnt as bad as smoking, I heard nicotine alone ages you just like cigarettes would.

No matter what your Motivation was for Quitting e-Cigarettes, if you Feel Better without them and have No Desire to Smoke, I applaud you for quitting.

This is the 4th month now I haven't had to spend a dime on Vaping... in the past 6 months maybe 80$ on DIY supplies and 30$ on random stuff.. I like nicotine, before I vaped I liked smoking, now I like vaping so I continue to do it ^__^ although I am cutting down my nic over time .5mg lower per month..

Congrats on quitting!

LoL. I smoked for over 25 years, so its kinda a apples oranges thing. FWIW, I can go 6-8 hours without a vape. Imho, Im vaping, so I am winning. Btw, Im a stud too.

Well, shoot, guess baking in the sun all my life and just living into my 70's had nothing to do with making me look old then. My mother always told me washing my hair too much would make it fall out but it's still on my head. Ha! I will continue to vape some nicotine because I want to keep half way cognisant of what's going on around me, and there are studies out there that indicate nicotine does help people in several ways. It's the smoke that damages you. CASAA.org has all this info easily gotten and read IF anyone's interested.

I'm 65 myself. Nobody would mistake me for being a 50-something lad. Likewise, I'm going to stick with the nic. Lots of Alz in my family tree. 10 is where I'm at now and no plans to change that.

When I was a kid my grandfather used to tell me his would be the last generation of men who would go bald, because it was wearing hats that made you go bald and hats had gone out of fashion. My guess is that the one about nic making you look old and wrinkly is about as likely to turn out true as the hat theory.

Ditto that!

FYI, if you pluck a certain hair in your nostril you will die!
My old boss told me that with a certainty in his voice.
He died a few years ago and I never found out if that was the reason.

I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that nicotine is one of the ways in which the aliens control us. So congrats on quitting.... I guess...

 

[sofarsogood]

I consider the possibility of stopping vaping. I suspect it would be easier than quitting smoking cold turkey but I haven't tried. One of my cigarette relapses came after 10 years. That can't happen again. I wish there were more stories about people transitioning out of vaping without relapsing to cigarettes. I wonder how many of those people there are in the population. Has anyone tried to survey and report on those?

My congratulations to anyone who quits vaping without relapsing to cigs.

If I don't have anything nice to say, I probably shouldn't say anything at all.
