I quit

[FreakyStylie]

Just this week. Up until last Saturday, I was a pack a day smoker. Parliaments. In the last couple of days alone, I've added the 0mg juices and find myself chain vaping them, but only reaching for a few puffs of the 16mg or 24mg juices every few hours. It just proves to me how much of (my) habit is psychological. I definitely want the nicotine, but not nearly as much as I always thought I did.

Impressive! You're a stronger man than I.

Gosh, I hope not. I'm a female (see avatar). :s I was actually terrified to even attempt quitting. Last time I tried to quit, about twelve hours in I was sobbing and hissing at my boyfriend, "This is all your fault! You just want perfection! I just want a cigarette $&@!!$" I was a lunatic! I was braced for a complete descent into hell/madness this go 'round, but so far so good!

LOL yep at 2 or so packs I started to worry and smoke more. Really odd reaction considering I was worrying about running out.

We're the type of people PVs are best for. If all you need is the occasional hit of nicotine, buy the gum. But for me smoking was much more than a nicotine addiction. Without a cigarette, what do you do with your hand and your mouth?

I went from 3 1/2 packs to 24mg to 12mg and now vape at 0-6mg (mostly 6.) I don't miss the extra nicotine at all but if you took my PVs away, I doubt I'd last 2 days without caving.

Great job !! I use 12 mg in the morning, 6mg during the day (mostly) and 0 nic after dinner !! I am a happy chain vaper !

This was always the weirdest thing for me... When I got low maybe a pack or two left (including the one I was smoking) I would start to smoke more... I always wanted to kick myself for it...

It had to be the fact that you knew you were low and thinking about it more often... and we all know when it came to cigarettes once the thought of one crossed your mind it never left till you went out and had one.

Congratulations Barbie!!!!!! That's awesome. I'm on my 3rd day of vaping. I had 3 analogs the first and second day, maybe more out of panic than need, and haven't had any today. And I've been up for 6 hours. Isn't it amazing how easy this is??? The only question I'm asking myself now is WHY didn't I try this sooner? Yay us!

wow, somebody almost like me (truck drivers chain smoke) i thought i was the only 3 and half+ a day analoger

i went from 24mg down to 12mg --- now i stay @ 12mg --- i have no attention of grabbing another analog, and i am surrounded by analogers all the time

Congrats! I did about the same thing. Just dropped analogs one day and haven't had the urge since.

Thus the I tried vaping some zero nic, but couldn't go for very long before I needed some nicotine. Hopefully you can stick with it. That would be an excellent success story!

Thanks everyone for the welcome and the sharing. I am on 16 mg which is what I started with and seems to work for me. I plan on eventually dropping it down until hopefully can get to zero. I am smoking menthol with no other flavoring. Been thinking about trying some flavors and see how it goes.
