Pretty Amazing

[smokingclam]

One month ago today I was still smoking analogs. Knew cigarettes had all sorts of bad things like arsenic,tar, etc, but did that ever stop me from inhaling them? Nope.

Today I stopped at the store to try and find some flavorings for my juice. Here I am reading the ingredients to make sure there is no food coloring that might be bad for me to inhale but I probably ingest everyday anyway.

I was sitting there laughing at myself in the store thinking about this. Just goes to show you how bad the cigarettes addiction is and how much e-smoking can change you.

I think just buying the e-cig is the first step to caring more about what goes into our lungs. It is amazing that our addiction to analogs blinded us to all those warnings.

Congradulations on your first month smokingclam!

That is pretty funny! Congrats on one month!!!

Excellent post and everyone so far is so right. I could have seen a report about certain analogs having a switchblade filter that would slice your tongue off and all I would have said was "Dof thomeone haf a wight?". And now I am opening PDFs from New Zealand to see if I may get acne from a chocolate flavored juice. Ah the good old days

I think the difference for me is that with electronic cigarettes you are in control. No longer do you have to accept what the BIG tobacco companies want to fill you full of. They have known about these contaminants for years, yet fail to do anything about it.

Viva la e-cig Revolution!!!

Congrats on your aniversary! Looking forward to mine. Ahh the journey starts tomorrow actually. Just got my first e-cig today. Been digesting so much info the past cpl weeks it feels like a few months already

It is funney. 400 known carcenagins no prob.... Red dye #5 .....are you kidding me? You want me to put what in my body? I think its the way they are marketed to us is to blame all before we knew better. We want healthy but refuse to sacrafice our chemical dependencies. Everything else is a means to an end

Make sure you give us an update after you use yours. What did you get?

Good luck with it. Never thought I'd see the day I'd put down the cigarettes without losing my mind in the process.

Hey Smokingclam....congrats! Keep it up!

I don't know about you, but even after only one week of vaping I feel like a new person! I feel healthier, happier, and more in control. I am coughing up all the tar and toxins that have built up over the years and even though it's nasty, I love seeing it come out of me. Gross I know! But it feels good.

Like you, I also find it ironic that I worry even a little about what colorings or flavorings are in my e-liquids. Smoke? Suuuure. Chocolate flavoring?

I am positive we are 1000x better off breathing vapor than SMOKE.

Congrats again and congrats to everyone here!

Its people's stories like this that make me glad I just started vaping today!

Granted i was a 3-4 pack a WEEK smoker, but I feel like this is just the right thing to do.

Anyways I started vaping tonight at 8pm and its now 1230am and I haven't had a craving for an analogue yet, lets hope this continues on.

Hey Calaban, nice amp! Is that yours? Anyway, I agree, I love coughing up lung-nuggets, lung-butter and phlegm-gems now. Getting rid of that stuff for good.

I also notice that I don't wake up with stale dragon-fart breath now. My morning mouth is like a fresh spring morning compared to before.

Other things might be wishful thinking; like my vision getting sharper, hearing getting better (ears popping) and skin looking clearer. Anyone else experienced this? I'm analog free 2 weeks today.

My teeth are whiter

There also no nasty smoke going about messing up my complexion

I am feeling left out.........after 4o years of heavy smoking....I have been vaping for 2months....but I haven't coughed up anything from my lungs....in fact it's just the oposite my smokers cough vanished almost straight away!

 

[asidrave]

grats smokingclam, i just started yesterday at 4pm est. i havent had a cig since. i dont have the urge. the ecig is satisfying the urge very well. im hoping to be done with analogs forever

 

[misantroll]

Ahah Yes ! The same here !
I'ts been only 6 days I've quit real cigs and I act like an evengelist about e-cigs !
I don't have to insist a lot tho because people are so interested with it.

Hey Pete, I've been wondering about that too! For me it was 44 years (with a couple of lengthy quit periods mixed in), and I haven't coughed up the bad stuff either. Eeks, does that maybe signal that our lungs are so permeated with the stuff it won't ever come out?

 

[Kate]

I didn't get a cough for three or four months after quitting and then started coughing up yukky stuff for a couple of months. Now it's stopped again but I have a feeling that my lungs are clearer.

 

[fishhawk]

From a fellow 1 month'er, congrats! I've never thought this day would happen, nor would it come this painless. If it weren't for this product and this support forum, I'd still be smokin analogs.

Just went to the dentist today and he and his hygentists were all crowding around the chair to see me vape my 901. I made up a little handout with the forum's address and several suppliers addresses and they all took one. My dentists said he wanted to check it out some more and start telling his other smoker patients about vaping. I felt like a good will ambassador.
