Ive got a poll for you guys! Have you ever had an impulse that was built into smoking that you still do? For me it's whenever i sit down to play my game. Its a multi-player arena game that usually takes around 30-45 minutes per game. Whenever the loading screen popped up right before entering the game i would jump out of my seat, run outside and smoke quickly then come back and sit down and play.

When i quit smoking and started vaping i found myself jumping up, making it to the glass sliding door and then realising "Oh wait, i no longer do this anymore". Which was pretty awkward for me, i would sit back down and not know what to do with that loading time lol! Now i tab out and come here or surf the net but my gf still gets a crack out of it whenever i jump up and then sit back down real quick like, "i did that on purpose" lol.

Anyone have things like this that they did or still do?

Still think I leave burning cigarettes around everywhere, but I'm getting pretty senile anyway.

Main impulse for me is that it is still physically so much like smoking, something in my hand ... and, hold your laughs, in my mouth. Those impulses, if that is what they are, are satisfied. Still think I have to set the damn thing down in an ashtray now and then, but like I said, I'm losing it.

I've gotten over it now but I was much like you. I had to be doing something during a commercial break. Used to go outside into garage and smoke and pretend to look around or just fiddle with stuff. Would go out on deck and make sure the grill was still bound tightly by bungy cord so it wouldn't blow off. Go out and check the mail. Any excuse to go outside and smoke was all it took.

I know found myself less antsy as time went on with vaping. I just take a puff when I need or even when I don't and never have those "Ohh No! panic attacks I got to get this smoke done in 3 mins type of thing. Half time during a game you got plenty of time but in 4th quarter and really close game and they keep taking those timeouts. You either hurry and get back quick or you just sit through it if you are a smoker. If your a vapor and in own home or someone else that allows it it's much easier to get your fix I guess.

Oh my goodness...you were one of those? Leaving burning cigarettes around? One of my aunts did that constantly! Glad you switched to a PV :) BTW you ever burn counter tops doing that?

Halo.
Big team battle matches took just long enough to choke down a cig and have my controller in-hand by the countdown. Then leaving matchmaking every 3rd game for a cig. Parties hated players like me, AFC for 5-10 minutes every few games.
I still get up and move around during matchmaking, but I happily vape through 10-15 games before backing out and having a snack. 2 minutes between games is plenty of time now!

Ha. I def still crack the window in my car. It just feels right. Sometimes I still walk outside to vape when I'm at home. Sometimes it feels more satisfying to be outside...I dunno its weird. Def love being able to stay inside and smoke when its pouring rain outside :) before i would have to suit up in a rain jacket and rain boots.

I still go outside when it above 50 degrees. This is my first winter vaping and have to say I LOVE not having to go outside. Perfect timing as this has been the coldest winter for us in like 30 years or something. :)
