funny thing about that "quitting thing" .... I've been an avid smoker since my early teens (I'm now 62), because I travel quite a lot for my business and can't smoke in airports, on airplanes, in rental cars, in hotels etc etc etc, I decided I'd get myself a "vaping rig" for when I'm on the road, with absolutely no intention of quitting my 2 pack a day habit .... when my VTR arrived I started vaping, I never officially QUIT smoking, I just picked up the VTR when I felt the need to puff away.
It's been over three weeks now and I haven't picked up a cigarette since, and have never felt "deprived". I guess maybe it's because there was no pressure to quit anything, I was just starting something new.
