No more tobbaco after 54 years

[tj99959]

Wow, the Reverend just told my story! I'm 73.

Like you, it seemed folks didn't like me much without nicotine in my system.
Signed up with Smith&Wilson insurance in 89.

Welcome friend, pull up a chair and enjoy the forum.

Hello Rev.

You da man! You are what it is all about.

I love to hear stories about how some old duffer who has smoked for the past 100 years suddenly, one day, up and quits the cigs in favor of vaping.

Your story is my story. 40+ years smoking. I had resigned myself to the fact that I was never going to quit. Then along came e-cigs. I have never looked back.

Stay on track, and vape on.

Thanks,,,, Cliff

I'm on day 4, after close to 34 years of analogs and many, many quits. I'm 100% sold on vaping. Cleared all the tobacco out of the house, just cleaned everything because the smell was making me sick...Congrats!!

Good to have you, Reverend Dickie! I am about to go on three weeks without cigarettes after 27 years of smoking... I went straight to vaping 18 mg. and haven't suffered any ill effects... I really wish I had done this a lot sooner! Best of luck to ya!

Right on.

Although I`m a bit younger then you, I have come from kinda the same place. Iv quite stuff I said I would die with in my mouth. By the grace of God Iv been able to quite allot of things, but smoking was the one that got the hardest, A monster is right!

Than I gave vaping a real shot. I had to drop allot of prejudices with it, had to change how I thought about it, had to be ready and able to solve the problems when they came up.

Now the only problem is what juice or mod do I want to try next, :?)

Did I change seats on the Titanic? Hell yes I did, I got in the life boat!

Happy Vaping.

Holy Smokes Batman! I actually found myself in the same situation with Chantix. I went through a couple Smoking Cessation classes through the VA and boy were those things depressing. They always made me want to have a cigarette afterward. I smoked for 16 years and it was hard especially when my wife and I would argue about it, but for someone who never struggled with the addiction they really don'[t understand. Thanks for your encouragement and story

I read your thread about your Mom. That's a tough one. Us old-timers are a stubborn bunch a get really cranky when we think we are being hearing into something we are not familiar with. Best to her...I hope she finds her way to Vape Land!

So glad you switched to vaping. I switched after 40 yrs of the stinkies. Reading the forums for all the great advice of those more experienced users. Welcome!

 

[Steven Bailey]

Congratulations Sir! I stopped the cigarette habit two months ago. I still will probably never give up my pipe smoking though. Have you quit smoking pipes as well as cigarettes? I'm always interested in obtaining extra pipes for my collection.
