I joined the Marines in 1994 and (as a pack a day smoker) ran 3 miles in under 17 minutes 40 seconds which is... actually a very controlled slow sprint for the duration. Now... I pound feet (mostly walking at a fast pace) around a supply yard checking stock, making a presence for my subordinates kind of job. I literally walk 12 miles a day on average according to a wrist watch recordings that I used for job description postings for simlar branches in my position. I feel that the smoking (lung impact) is something that can be overcome and overwhelmed given the right drive and conditioning. Not to say that my performance would not have been greater without my addiction. But no one noticed. I have no doubt my performance would have been unsurpassed without my addiction. I have simply longed to fill my lungs with more oxygen and less tar... the athelete has left me now. I am just excited to feel more air in the breaths I take in the presence of my family. My how things change.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I am waiting for my first kit to arrive and am very excited to start vaping. You caught may attention with the remark about the return of senses. I have been a smoker for about 23 years and have noticed that it seems like my nose is stuffy alot and alot of times feel like there is something in my throat. Also my sense of smell is less than great. Can you tell me about the improvements you experienced. Oh, also my wife tells me that I snore fairly often when sleeping.

    I smoked 2 pks a day for over 40 years. I started vaping in May and I love it. Within about a week my coughing stopped!! I hacked all day and half the night.....GONE!!!!! It is wonderful to be able to breathe deeply and not cough! My sense of taste is returning...thought I had burnt those out years ago, my sense of smell is also back and my nose isn't stuffy all the time now. Its amazing how the body can actually heal itself!!!
    I will never go back to analogs.

    Yippee!! Got my 510 today! my first... I love it. Using R4 juice and love the taste. I now know what the term "throat hit" is referring to. I smoked my last analog at noon today. I have noticed myself feeling very comfortable with it. Only a few occasions I noticed myself thinking about lighting up. I think that is probably normal. I expect to feel slightly sick throughout the next week since my body, while not giving up the addiction to nicotine, is giving up a lot of regular doses of other crud that it is used to processing. You know, all that FDA approved stuff.

    Oh, just wait.... about a week or so from now someone is gonna set a meal down in front of you and the smell of heaven is gonna overtake you like gangbusters. Of all places, I went with my folks to a bob evans after 3 weeks off analogs (compensated by heavy vaping) and I was near overwhelmed by a plate of hot food set down in front of me. I almost couldn't stop sniffing it enough to eat :hubba:
