I've been smoke free for two months, and if someone came tomorrow morning and took my juice and batteries away, I'd have a pack of cigarettes in my hand before the sun went down. Sad but true. I'm hoping that as time goes by that will change, and I'll be less dependent, but I love the fact that I don't have to make the choice. I'm also pretty sure that I would find Clover's black market - and offer myself up to fight prohibition. I am a pretty good shot......

Speaking as someone who quit smoking by vaping and quit that, then went back to smoking I'd have to say yes, I'd go back. I would try to fight it, but when that stress gets to a certain point the stinkys would come back into my life. I don't know what it is about them, but I love them. I'm just so very happy that ecigs are an option and I can choose them over the smokes!
But I'm all about going underground! Ya'll can count me in!

Well, I guess I would have to quit analogs.... because When I get busted for e-cigg smuggling and sale I wont be able to smoke in jail.

Of course... if we all got busted... they couldn't afford to keep us locked up in prisons, too much tobacco tax revenue would be lost.

So it's settled, if ecigs get banned we all are goin underground!

Yes. I am weak. The quit was accidental. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Looks like another Vaper Army is forming . . . or would this be a Militia? :D

two words: black market. who wants to start up the underground market and make a profit off the prohibition? we'll probably have to start carrying guns and fighting rival vape suppliers. but hey where there is a demand.... :D

What's the password? And where is the vape-easy? (We can communicate via Joyce's Emergency Shelter!) :)

maybe, after I got over the gagging stage. You see I never intended to quit smoking, I just wanted to save some money. Some where in the first week of vaping, my preference change and I couldn't stand the taste of cigs anymore. Finding this wonderful forum and this whole sub culture, I never dreamed existed, has made the whole transition facinating and painless. I think I've learned enough, that even if vaping is banned I could rig something together with a battery, bannana and a bubble gum wrapper!

Hey Clover, can I be the Australian Connection? Apart from the fighting, that is. I am happy to insult and generally put rivals down, but I'm not sure I could do the gun thing.
Go ahead, make my vape!

I've never actually smoked analogs, but if it were absolutely my only option to get nicotine, I would probably roll my own with organic tobacco. I have to imagine that many of the horrible diseases associated with smoking cigarettes come from the arsenic, cyanide, gasoline, and other bizarre chemicals added by big tobacco-- not tobacco itself. I would probably try to get the patch first, if it was just vaping that was gone, but moderate to low doses of nicotine have made me feel like a living human being for the first time in close to a decade. I only vape a few times a day, so I imagine the amount I would smoke would be 1-3 analogs a day.

Fortunately, I'm pretty sure this will never happen. :D

Well, I received my V4L shipment on the April 22. I am still having 2-3 bad things a day. So I am afraid that I would go back to smoking if vaping was no more. I do look forward to the day when I can say "none today". Like others, my stress levels right now are over the top. My Dad has small cell lung cancer right now and he quit smoking 11 years ago. So I am afraid I'm already screwed. But helping him in this horrible situation really freaks me out that I still can't quit! .....vape...just vape...omg, where is my juice.....:vapor:

My mom has cancer and I often feel the same way. You just can't let your mind go there because whats done is done and you can only move forward in time and make healthier choices in the NOW.

I've been vaping and away from Cigs so long now (October 09) I have no desire to smoke. Never really liked it in the first place, but just got hooked as a drunk teenager. As stated earlier, nicotine is not the real demon... it's some mystory additive. I could smoke a bowl of pipe tobacco or a cigar (inhaling) and immediately light up a cigarette to get satisfaction.

Just to clarify, the 4,000 or so chemicals (many of which are indeed deadly or at least scary-sounding) are not "added" to tobacco cigarettes; rather they are chemicals either already in or the by-products of the combustion of leaf tobacco. That's why snus is sooooooooo much less "risky" than smoked tobacco.

Just sayin. :)
