The only thing I miss is the smell of a freshly opened pack of analogs. That tobacco aroma just brings a smile.

It brings back memories of both of my grandfathers. One a cigar smoker and the other a pipe smoker. Their humidors and tobacco stashes were so aromatic.

But light one up?!?!?!? Not gonna happen.

Yes - Ive done it a couple of times :)
1st time - I was scared of it, convinced I was going to burn my eyes, (seriously...and yes it makes me cringe to read too but it happened) and 2 drags was all I could manage.
Tasted horrible; stale, dry, yuk. TH was harsh as all get out and it made me cough.
2nd time - I jus really wanted one and no way Im telling myself I cant have any because that makes them more 'taboo' and thusly more attractive. Lit it up, wasn't scared of burning my eyes this time, guess I talked sense into myself lol, tasted yuk. The TH wasn't as harsh as the first time oddly enough, but the mouth-feel was a huge let down compared to vaping. Tasted like a bonfire smells, got 2 drags in, and put it out.
There might be a 3rd time if I really feel the need - might not - either way i can't see myself going back to smoking them unless they make it impossible for me to vape.

I took a couple of hits off of one, and it didn't taste horrible to me which made me realize I have to stay away from them or I'll go back to smoking. I have never liked the way they smell though, and I find myself backing away from other smokers to try and keep the smell off of me! It's horrible.


I would have to agree with you on that one.. its been just over 1/2 year for me,but I know I would love the taste of smoking a real cigarette. Like you the smoke smells horrible.. and I never really liked it while I was a smoker eiter, I just smell it easier now.. yuck :p

I've been vaping just about 3 weeks, and I LOVE it. cigarettes were taking a toll on me ... my breathing and coughing up ... well, anyway, I've smoked at least 1/2 of an analog about half of these 3 weeks - but I haven't enjoyed them. Each time the analog symptoms return, and they do taste awful awful. Wish I'd discovered vaping a long time ago. Better later than never.

I'm two months as an ex-smoker. I haven't lit a cigarette for about five weeks, and I did light up several times in the first five weeks, more out of curiosity than anything else. I couldn't smoke the whole thing though. Two or three drags and I put them out. They tasted really nasty to me! That's why, even if for whatever the reason, vaping was not an option to me, I don't think I could ever go back to smoking.

I smoked 1 to 2 packs a day for over 35 years, ending January 15, 2010.
