Nothing wrong with liking that analog. You want to quit them for whatever reasons, I doubt your top/only reason (if it was a reason at all) was because you hated the taste of them and feeling they gave you. I'm betting it was health reasons, over-dependence and smell once it went stale.
Now, it's not so bad a thing if you have an analog once in a while, the problem is if you get hooked back onto them, or back into programmed reactive behavior.
A 'good' solution would be twofold, to prevent both mental and physical addiction:
- never have an analog because you 'need' one. i.e. if something stressful happens, don't have an analog because you 'need' one - that is a bad programmed reactive behavior.
- Never have more than 1 analog in a 3 day period. The 3 day period is a habit mark, and the time it takes for the nasty chemicals to be expelled from your body (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) - so if you never have more than 1 analog in a 3 day period, then your body cannot become addicted either.
Note: it would also help if when you do have that one analog, you put yourself out for it, if possible, i.e. even if you smoked inside, or have others who smoke inside, make sure you go outside for it - this helps distance it from any old habit-smoking
I'm thinking if you follow those two rules, there's no reason not to enjoy an analog every now and then, and the beauty of it is that you can actually enjoy the analog - the taste, the buzz, etc.
Now, bear in mind, I am not telling anyone to do this. Please don't jump down my throat on it, and I know there actually are many that are now disgusted by the taste/smell of analogs, and that's no worries.
Also, if you don't think you can hold yourself in rigid discipline not to break the above 2 rules, then they could be the path to getting back on analogs, so tread carefully.
Of course, if you've got your VaporKing to fall back on, then I don't see it being real difficult.
And, most of all, there are many who are vaping and still smoking and cant/haven't switched off analogs completely, and I think for some of these people, the simple fact is that it's too overwhelming to imagine that 'never having a cigarette again' situation. The simple fact of it is if those folks can cut down to a maximum of 1 analog every 3 days, and no 'reactive' smoking in stressful situations, etc, they I think those people can consider themselves quit of smoking, and true vapers, who indulge once in a while, just like people who get out and get drunk on friday nights aren't necessarily alcoholics.
And, for the analog smokers, I'd think the above 2 rules would make a much nicer 'end goal' to aim for than '0 cigarettes, ever'
Anyhows, just my 2 cents. well, more like $2.15, but oh well.
