It's my b-day so I smoked a cig...

[Mike Geaney]

...and I'm glad I did! After 25 plus years of at least pack a day smoking I took up the vape in an effort to quit. I went slightly over 5 months without a single cigarette. It was nagging me. I fired one up this morning, took 2 or 3 drags, and hated it. This was what I had hoped would happen. I don't advocate this approach, as your mileage may vary, but this has confirmed it for me. I have no desire to ever smoke another cigarette.

Rant over. Carry on.

Sometimes that negative reinforcement is needed. You didnt smoke the whole thing and it might sound funny but Im glad you hated it.

I hope you got yourself another b-day gift, too. An analog cigarette as a birthday gift is way worse than a lump of coal for Christmas. Happy Birthday!

I quit 2 years ago and still every so often I get a really strong craving for a cig. Most of the time it's when I'm stressed or if I walk past someone in the street smoking and get a wiff of the smoke (don't know why but I like the smell of tobacco smoke). I dare not try another cig just incase I slip back into smoking.

Anyway well done mate for beating the stinkies.

I smoke a cigar on special occaisions. I gave up trying cigarettes that first year. Around my 1 year mark, I found the remaining cigarettes from my last pack. They had been sitting open for a YEAR! I fired one up...Yep! That's all the negative reinforcement I needed! haven't had the urge to fire-up since. Now, a good cigar on Memorial Day or Labor Day or my wedding anniversary? Yes, please!

Congratulations on realizing you are a former smoker!

One of my brothers is till a dual user (I got him started vaping last Christmas). In August we were visiting. I smoked one of his cigs then flicked it aside and told him I didn't just quit, I'm immune, no more interest, and that turned out to be true. It wasn't pleasant and I had no thought of having another. I smoked for too many decades so this outcome is amazing to me.

I had a good day recently to celebrate. I took an analog and only few puffs I cannot stand the smell. Next good day I will celebrate with wine and vaping in stead.

That's exactly what I was thinking -- "what a nasty thing to give yourself for your birthday!"

Happy b-day to you, and roxynoodle too!

Happy b-day to you, and roxynoodle too!

Yes, happy b-day to @roxynoodle, too. Roxynoodle, I would imagine you're a little hard to shop for in the vaping department though. Quite the impressive collection.

I don't think so. About to drop from 12 to 6 next order. I think it was just something I had to do. I am very thankful that I didn't like it. Vaping away on the Subtank plus now clouding up the home office. Got a Magma RDA standing by that I need to build...will be a first for me. Thanks.

That was my first, too. (OK, it's my only RDA). I hope you enjoy it.

No, I'm easy. I like almost everything, lol!

It is laughable that main reason WHO call on regulate e cig as tobacco product and also banned in many countries because of their thinking that e cig will initiate to smoking. I read many of their interviews and this is really their main concern. I was a smoker for 30 years but I cannot stand to take a few puffs now how a non smoker e vaper teenager can become a smoker due to vaping only and not because of something else is beyond me. The health organization will never understand the point as they are none smoker and none vaper.
