I started e-cigs about four months ago, and it's now three months since my last cigarette. This marks the longest time I've gone without a cigarette in the last 32 years.
In a way, the one common denominator between the two three months quit has been an obsession. But there's a difference:
First time: OMG I can't have another cigarette, ever, never, ever and I really, really want one and every time I see someone smoking I want to grab their smoke and smoke it myself and I struggle not to do that because I know if I did I'd start the whole quit process over again and I can't even contemplate that.
This time: What flavors should I try next? What mod? What's Ohm's Law really mean? Do I like bottom feeders or am I am I happier with a high-end tube mod where I can drip?
In other words, the last time was entirely negative... I'd given up something I really wanted to do. This time is positive... e-cigs are great... is there a way to make them even better?
I'm hoping this time has been just about as healthy as the last time.... but I know last time was misery and this time has been... fun.
So... what other method of quitting tobacco has ever been described as "fun"?

Who wants menthol cigs when they can have vanilla custard!
