Today is 23 days I've been smoke free.
I can't say I like vaping as well as I did smoking, I like it more.
No, I didn't smoke a lot. I started smoking at 15 and quit with the exception of smoking OPs when drinking at 24 (clove cigs then Marlboro Lights). So I was only a social smoker for 20 years but bought a pack in April after a traumatic personal event. Smoking took the edge off for me -- helped me to cope. I was smoking about 5 analogs a day, more on weekends, but I hated the smell and worried about the health implications. Smoking was also affecting my workouts.
Quitting, even 5 smokes a day, wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. In fact, it was worse than when I stopped cold turkey in my 20s. I had quit one time in the last 6 months with nic gum, but that only lasted for about 2 weeks.
Now that I'm vaping I have no desire to smoke. So when hubs has a cigar I can vape with him. I can vape at my desk. In my car. In my house. It's great. I owe my conversion to a coworker who brought me a disposable Apollo to try after about 6 days of using nic lozenges but still having the urge to smoke. I was sold.
I vape KR808s, still experimenting with juices but RY4 is my current favorite. Nice to know that there's a community out there as well as a lobby to ensure our right to vape.
cheers.
