I'm finding I seldom vape outside the house

[TNT]

Okay, I'm sitting here at home, chain vaping the way I always do. But I've found over the past month or so, I seldom vape outside the house.

I work 10 hour days, plus an hour lunch, plus 3 breaks. I walk to work, and these days, I usually take my first vape of the day when I'm a block away... three or four toots. I almost never go outside to vape during breaks, and I seldom spend more than five minutes outside at lunch.

This from a former two pack a day smoker who used to spend a half hour after my morning shower chain smoking before I left for work, smoking two cigs walking to and from work, two at every break and three or four at lunch.

It's not that I'm trying to cut down... I just don't feel the need any more.

And the other day... I went to the dentist for an emergency root canal, went shopping afterwards, and then, when the Novocaine wore off, went to dinner. In all that time, it never occurred to me to vape. I didn't even notice until the friend who was driving me around pointed it out.

I have no idea what it all means, but I find it interesting.

I also do not vape as often out of the house as I do inside. Thing is, I am a full time student/daddy (homemaker til I can find work), so I am pretty much at home all of the time That's probably why I have to start ordering juice 100mL at a time

TNT that's me also I chain vape at home but when I'm out it don't really cross my mind,and I was a 2 pack a day smoker..

Interesting responses... I think it shows that, at least for some of us, it's not just about the nicotine. For instance, during my hour lunch, I'm now finding it more interesting to watch the news and talk about it with my co-workers than it is to go outside and vape.

Still not exactly sure what it means.

i chain vape when im at home to but when im out i don't really vape much unless it's a stressful day. usually treat it like i did cigarettes, about once an hour. but i do seem to get stressed or irritated allot easier then i used to so that doesn't really help, then again it's been a ....ty year

It is surely interesting, but good for you! I'm sorta the same way I guess. The only time I chain-vape is when I'm home, driving, or hanging out at a friend's house. If I'm running errands or going to class (thankfully it's summer now ) I really don't vape much. That and during family functions I don't really vape much, either.

It's very odd, I wake up in the morning make my tea and some toast, put on the breakfast news then vape for about 10 minutes, shower and all the other stuff the mornings bring.

I can then sit in meetings for 3 to 4 hours without thinking about it, what I have noticed is that I now seem to eat properly i.e. Breakfast, Dinner & Tea and tend to enjoy my meals more, rather than snacking on the run.

I vape in the car still... I think it has to do with being stationary for very long. If I'm active I don't think about it (I did with smokes). If I'm not just need something to do with my hands.

I don't see much of a difference...when I was smoking, I would get all caught up at work or in my activity of the moment and then, when things settled, chain smoked.

Now, I get all caught up at work or in my activity of the moment and then, when things settle, chain vape. Just glad I am not home all the time

well I work from home so I tend to vape a lot, but I have noticed when I'm out and about I don't really think about it much. I used to only be able to sit at my mom's house for about an hour an hour and 1/2 tops before I had to bolt out the door to smoke now I can hang out all afternoon without the urgent need to leave.

I find that I vape at the same times and situations I would usually smoke. If I am driving, I am vaping. At home, in front of the computer, I am vaping. I no longer take breaks at work because I can vape at my desk (as I am doing now). I vape when I mow the yard (I wish the vapor would deter gnats like smoke does), and I vape when I am out walking. I find that now, when going out, I tend to double check to make sure I have an extra battery and some juice instead of counting the number of cigs I have left. I do vape more often than I ever smoked though. First it is not as expensive (at least now that I am stocked up) and those final cigs of the day were usually lung killers because I had smoked so much during the day, but I vape right up to bed time.

There are places I won't vape outside of the house, but otherwise I vape.

I don't go outside as much as I used to do. Which is good, as it was 89 here today and the humidity is way up.

I did appreciate it last week, with all the tornadoes around this area, that instead of dogging rain and wind to get a smoke in before bed, I was tucked up in my cot with my book vaping. Got to love that

I am pretty much the same way...I wasn't a heavy smoker and usually only smoked at home in the evenings anyway, so I probably vape more than I smoked. It's more enjoyable to me for sure. I don't normally think about it during the workday, never smoked then either, but I have a place I can vape if I do want to. Really any place I didn't/couldn't smoke I don't vape either.
And not having to go outside in the cold or hot TX weather is a huge plus!!

I switched from using analogs to an e-cig on May 11th and have noticed over the last week that my vaping has started to taper off. I'm vaping less during the work day while on my breaks and lunch hour. At home I still vape fairly often but feel less of a need to use the e-cig while driving, which is a big change of habit for me. Tonight I went grocery shopping and didn't even take it with me. I was gone for less than an hour, but it felt like a milestone.

I vape all the time now, whether I'm at the house or not. More than I ever smoked, don't know if that's a good or bad thing but at least I'm not on cigarettes anymore.
