Quit Smoking and eventually save big bucks.

I've been smokefree since October 28th and I still have a pack of cigarettes in the freezer!

I have a 6 year old pack of Camel no filter under the seat of my car. Still like to smell them sometimes... lol

I have smoked cigarettes for over 45 years. Tried everything to quit, then I found vaping.
I read the other day that it is not nicotine that hooks you. It's all habit. That's why nicotine patches and gum fail. I guess I am hooked on vaping. Why, because it's a fun habit.

I haven't had a cigarette in over a year. This is an amazing feat considering I had a triple bypass 5 years ago and still kept smoking.

When I first stated vaping I kept a pack of smokes in my garage just in case. I kept thinking about going and getting one but I kept saying to myself give it 5 minutes and vape a few puffs instead. It worked. Baby steps.

After 3 weeks of vaping with 18 - 24 mg of nicotine I started cutting down. After a year I started making my own juice to save money. I get 4 times the juice for the same price. This was a new fun thing to keep me vaping. I am doing no nicotine for 4 months now. Again baby steps.

I swore I would never quit smoking. Even if I couldn't vape now I still would not light a cigarette ever again.

And that sir....is what this is all about. Way to go!

Hmmm, I am saving tons of money every month and I'm starting to think maybe I should be putting it aside as if I had spent it smoking.
Yep, definitely gonna start doing that.
Besides all the health benefits and the running/swimming/lifting I have gone back to since quitting, I'd say I need to save some money for when I grow old, which is not really too far away.
Good to hear you have been doing so well, vaping can help a great deal but you seem to have grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

Amen to that !

Since I quit smoking no one will light a cigarette around me or in my house. I tell them its ok. I don't wanna be a prude. They still refuse. I have great family and friends. I haven't even smelled a cigarette in 6 months. I walked into the smoking area of the river boat to see if it would bother me once. I just thought it smelled good but no urge to have one. Thank you God.
