I sure hope not I would strongly advise against it... I had an ex-smoker try to buy from me and I politely refused to sell them a kit being she had been 2 years without a regular cigarette.
Basically talked her out of it.
3 packs/day. Since vaping, it's 1/2 pack per day and will hopefully drop the analogs completely soon
I was just curious if you understood that smoking addiction is usually a life long addiction. I know people that had quit for 10 years and smoked one cigarette at a party and ended up a two pack a day smoker again in a matter of days.I sure hope not I would strongly advise against it... I had an ex-smoker try to buy from me and I politely refused to sell them a kit being she had been 2 years without a regular cigarette.

Obviously I do not know the exact circumstances of the situation but I do not see why someone would talk a consenting adult out of E-smoking unless they believed there are inherent dangers involved.
Is that what you think? I certainly hope you are not buying into the FDA's lies and posturing in their attempt to grab a piece of the money.
I can not find any evidence to suggest any adverse health risk aside from slight discomfort, even on a long term basis.

Its been a week since I bought my 801. I haven't smoked since. I did recieve some JC and a USB passthrough today in the mail. I am starting to think the 24mg juice is to strong. That really surprises me, being a 2 pack a day smoker. I have totally given up on the cart and only drip now. A good TH is important to me. I drop three drops of juice and vape that until its empty. I figure that's about the same as one cigarette. Not really sure if I am getting more nicotine or less. But so far so good. I really enjoy the ecig. At first I thought it was a huge hassle but I figured out how to use it and its working so far. Thanks to this forum and all the very helpfull people on it.
I smoked annies for 36 years. When I quit I was going thru a carton every 4 days. Been annie free for 5 weeks and 2 days now. It was tough but the ecig and this forum really helped a lot. I know I couldn't have done it without both.
I smoked about 1 - 1/2 packs a day at my worst.
I vape exclusively now. when I first started vaping, I would sneak an occasional analog with friends, but I cut that out when I found it would make my newly clear sinuses flare up again.

I was in a panic because I was running out of juice and I was worried the JC juice I ordered would come after I was out. Its bad, real bad to be so addicted.
Actually, I quit smoking in Nov '08. But I took up vapeing because I had gained 20 lbs since then. My thinking is that I will quit eating if I have this substitute. A week now and I haven't gone out and bought any real cigs, lost 3lbs.
Smoked 1 - 2 pks aday. Been vaping for a few weeks now and can't seem to drop the annis altogether. Still smoke 5-10 aday. Usually when the ecig isn't putting out quite right or in need of a new cart I'll grab an anni in the interval. My wife smokes too, so there's always anni available. Got her a 901 kit so hopefully we can help each other quit the nasty anni habit.
That's interesting.
Although, I never quit before transitioning to vaping. I myself have had a dramatic decrease of appetite. My stomach has this sense of fulfillment all the time.
Although, I keep myself in shape with a weight lifting regimen.
Even after working out, I don't have this voracious appetite to replenish fuel. I'm having to force myself to swallow my protein shakes and meals most of the time so that I don't lose any muscle mass.
I haven't weighed myself, but it feels like I'm dropping weight...which is something I don't want right now.
I smoked 2.5 to 3 pks/day for 37 years. I loved smoking, however, could not take giving any more in taxes, so with the last increase in cigarette tax decided to try the E-cigs to cut down. By happy coincidence I found that my analog addiciton was more psycological, oral, rather than nicotine. I have not smoked an analog since the first day (March 23) and have used 0 nic liquid since the first week. But I love the taste, feel etc of vaping and if it were to be banned I probably would be back on the analogs.
Holy crap! 37 years and pretty much cold Turkey on 0 nic? Good for you!I smoked 2.5 to 3 pks/day for 37 years.

Pack and a half a day before.
Down to less then a half a pack on most days now. If i'm traveling alot, I may not smoke at all some days so it kind of depends on the situation.

I was a pack a day kinda guy. I'm down to between 2 and 4 analogs a day.
Now... if I could just lose some of this weight!

Hi I smoked over 3 paks a day for over 35 yrs! , REALLY I know it is hard to believe anybody has that much time in a day to smoke that much. There were days I could smoke up to 4 paks, If I was driving long distance on business, or if I couldn't sleep, which I would normally get 3 to 4 hrs a night. That was it, Those are all part of the 'crazy' demons within me
But that is not what this post is about
I developed COPD, 4 yrs back and was quickly killing myself, if I had not done something. I am a recovering addict for the past 26yrs, so I kinda understand addiction
I stopped cold, Dec 10,08, picked up an Ecig at a mall and I knew I had an out
One post prior, commented on the oral addiction, the action of smoking, which, I just love. Strange, cos I really do not know why!
I love to eat, shop, drive fast, gamble, actually, when I enjoy something, good or bad, I have a way of going a little overboard.
Even with vaping, I have to own everything, especially if I read it is the best, the greatest, whatever. Gotta have it !!!
My shrink ( you certainly cannot be surprised I see a shrink)
is SO PLEASED ABOUT VAPING for me and vaping in general,
The reason for his excitment for vaping
Is that it is a "HARM REDUCTION" PROCESS
It may not be the best thing in the world, however, it is still much better than analogs
No different than Methadone for a Herion addict, it aint great but it is so much better than herion
Simple really.
So as long as it isnt causing me the harm that analogs has, then :have at it" I am thrilled for all of us, that have been able to do less harm.

Pack a day for 18 years. I still smoke a few analogues (about four or five a day now), but I'm hoping to get that down to zero at some point.
Oh, and I'm losing weight. Not massively, but it's definitely going down. That's a good thing for me.
