Only post once-How many have quit smoking

[Dilutetrips]

I have been smoke free for almost 2 months. I only vap now. I am down to low nic liquid. I feel great and feel no need for a smoke. This is the longest I have been smoke free since 7th grade. I am 40 years old and had been smoking for way to many years. Nothing ever worked, but my PV's. They work if you want them to. They also work if you want to get nic and cut your risk of death, cancer, etc....

Hmmmmm....

...haven't touched a cigarette since I picked up a pv (almost) 2 months ago.

If this places me in the "non-smoker" category, so be it.

I'm into my third month without a cigarette.

I just started vaping, but I haven't had a traditional smoke since the very first day that I had my liquid and everything. Easiest method I've ever attempted. I also don't feel the urge to smoke like I did before getting a pv, the urge is much less frequent.

Stopped smoking Feb. 24th, 2009, the day I received my first ecig.

Since getting my e cig, I am proud to say that I have been smoke free since 8/08. Not bad for a 35 yr. smoker of 1 to 2 packs a day. Hey fda, are you listening????

Reason: not to cut up results into all different threads .- we stand much stronger with higher numbers, instead of divided into bits and pieces in different threads...
Just my view of course

Thanks Katink.. I agree!

This thread sure provides ample anecdotal evidence that e-cigs can certainly be an effective smoking cessation method. The FDA would do well to observe this phenomenon and not be so hasty in their condemnation of the device.

I got my first e-cig (a 103 cigarette look-alike) in March '09. I had been a 2-pack/day smoker for 22 years (smoked American Spirit Organic Lights, which went to $6.70 a pack after the tax bump). From the day I got the e-cig, I went down to 5 or so a day. I just took it easy, not pushing any particular agenda, I was just happy that I had cut back so much so easily.

When my existing stash of analogs ran out, I told myself that I'd wait till the next day to go buy a pack, I'd just vape for one day and see how it felt to me.

Well, that was April 28, and I've not gotten around to buying that pack. I love vaping (use 801s mostly, but I have a 501, a mini-pipe, and I've tried the e-cigar, as well). It has allowed me to quit smoking but still enjoy the familiar rituals of what I like to call "inhaliatory pleasure".

God bless old Hon Lik:

After 16 years, I am now smoke-free. It's been over 6 weeks now and no desires to revert. Started w/ an NPRO and just ordered a 510 today to ensure I don't go back.

Last day with a analog was yesterday.Ecigs taste so much better!

 

[sMuCk_fOg]

and reliability of ecigs (batteries mostly) for the first month and continued to smoke 10 or so analogs,wich was GREAT for me ,a 2 + pack a day smoker for many years.

I too tried all the same smoking ceasation aids that you mentioned ,but none of them helped as do ecigs for me.

Once I got these ecigs sorted out
(extra parts,and even MORE extra parts)
I just quit buying regular cigarrettes altogether.
I just passed the 30 day mark of Vaping only!

I do still get that empty feeling once in a while ,
usually in stressful conditions.
When this happens , I just take a deep breath and reach for me 901. Problem solved.

 

[Figurehead]

Quit accidentally the day I started vaping.

So did I. Well, not actualy... I vaped with a 901 for about 2 months but when I got my Bada-Bing e-cigar I quit that day.

I started smoking when I was 10, even learned to inhale at 10. From the time I was 10 to 16 I smoked Marlboro Red, Winstons and Kools. My parents owned a store and never counted stock like they should so getting cigs was too easy. From 16 until five days after my 42nd birthday, I smoked Newports - a pack and a half or more a day. My last analog was the evening of April 1st. Started vaping on the morning of April 2nd and have not craved an analog since. The best thing is that I can still be around people who smoke analogs and it does not bother me or make me want one. When I've tried quitting in the past, if I even smelled that someone had recently smoked, I would want one.

My husband who is also a long time smoker is trying, he still goes thru a pack of analogs a week but that beats two and a half to three packs a day.

Quit the day I received my Vapor King.

I had planned to wean off the cigarettes, but once I tried my Vapor King, it was a done deal!

 

[Brobby]

I recieved my Totally Wicked 901 about 11 days ago...

I honestly was NOT planning on quitting my regular cigarettes(Marlboro Mediums..2 1/2 packs a day)..

I bought it on a whim..just to mess around with..(I like Gadgets)

I have not smoked one single puff of a regular cigarette since I got the TW 901...11 days so far..
Ive decided to quit smoking analog cigarettes...a 30 year habit.

 

[Dawnfox]

I didn't start vaping to quit, I started to save money (I'll break even someday! ). However, as soon as I got my device I went down to about a pack of cigarrettes a week. I may have quit now, though. It's really too soon to tell! Didn't intend to quit, but ran out either Thursday or Friday and haven't bought any more yet.

 

[Apatel]

I quit the day I received my 901 on 2/13/09. Haven't looked back since!!!

 

[Smokinless]

Let me first say that I have smoked 1 pack of analogs for 14 years. Tried to quit many times using gum, patch and pills with the longest being a week.

With that said, I have had my Ecig now for 12 days or so and I havent had an analog now for the last 5 days. i think (I know)this time i am going to QUIT for good.. I have absolutely no craving for Analogs.

I would like to thank my good friend AW for introducing me to Ecigs. Thanks Bro, you might have just saved my life...

I quit the first of April. I hadn't planned to, but it happened. After vaping, I had no desire for an analog.

Hello. My name is Bill, and I am a nicotine addict. For over 50 years I have been humoring my addiction by smoking tobacco heavily. Two months ago I had to admit to myself that my Social Security income was no longer sufficient to keep up with the rising cost of tobacco, so I bought a Moore-401 and a jug of juice. From that day on I have not smoked an analog, nor have I been the least bit inclined to do so. Now I vape all day and in some ways I'm better off because of it-- but the monkey is still on my back. At least it no longer s***s on my clothes.
