Tasted an analog yesterday

[Taowulf]

When cleaning out my car yesterday and destinkifying it after not smoking for a month, I found an analog in good condition. I had also found several lighters. So I lit it real quick, tasted it and then immediately put it out. I didn't even do more than a tiny mouth inhale. The reason for this is to see what it tasted like. It tasted like the reason I started smoking in the first place. That marvelous nutty flavor you got in the early days. Then I shrugged, continued cleaning out my car and Febreezed the Hades out of it.

My juices taste better...except the tobacco ones. I am liking them less and less.

A reminder of the nastiness.... I did that new years... and yup, still nasty.
Was out your way in January to ski Mt Bachelor. Bend is a fun town.

Did you enjoy any of the fine local brews? Ahh, we had some nice snow in January too.

Can't stand the taste of ash now, but I do still like the smell of unlit tobacco. I also really enjoy a well made Naturally Extracted tobacco liquid.

After 30 years as a smoker and just a few months purely vaping, I took a drag off my girlfriends cigarette and only had one thought.... WHAT WAS I THINKING ALL THOSE YEARS???

To those who say vaping does not help smokers quit, all I can say is that I quit using the patch years ago and never really lost the craving for one. Now as a vapor I can truely say that I have.

Love anything from deschutes. Went to a bar that had a 60' wall lined with Rush posters....very nice. And the seared ahi at Kayo's was the best dinner out! Will be out next year for sure!

Tested one... Sounds so much better than relapse

 

[Taowulf]

No lung hit. Just a tiny bit in my mouth. Followed immediately by crushing it out.

Was curious how it would taste to me now. But that curiosity was tempered by KNOWING how it would taste later...and how I would smell.

I was in a auto parts store today, and suddenly smelled "that smell". The guy behind us was obviously a heavy smoker. A month ago I would have hardly noticed.

I haven't looked under my seats yet. I bet there's a few lurking.

I can't wait to give my car a good cleaning. Once the weather breaks, I'm on it. It still has a faint cig odor.

I did it about a month ago. Made me a little nauseous. NEVER imagined I'd ever feel that way about cigarettes. I loved smoking and thought I'd never be able to break the habit. I haven't, technically. I just can't do cigarettes anymore. But you wouldn't believe the way they ruled every decision I ever made, right down to the house we bought (is there a covered area outdoors where I can go and neighbors can't see me criteria). Crazy.

I'm in this almost 9 months now and from time to time I "tasted" as well. Each time was the same, YUCK!!! And I agree with Cloud Junky, it was not a relapse by any means. I did the same "tasting' when I was on the patch and on Chantix and THAT, my friends, was a relapse!!!!!

If I were to take just one toke off a cigarette I'd feel guilty and would have to reset by banner.

I'm just not going to do it.

LMAO at OP fabrezing the one the he lit though.

 

[db13berry]

Dont do iiiiiiiiit! I did that once, relapsed and had to start all over again! It was harder the second time around.

 

[DetraMental]

I don't ever wanna try quitting cigarettes again! I have tried one since quitting and didn't feel the need to reset my counter. For one thing I didn't smoke the whole cig, just tasted it, bleh. There are people who don't smoke who have tried a hit off a cigarette and it doesn't make them a smoker.

I bought a condo way back when, with a 'smoking area' as a prime concern. The place wasn't a good deal, but hey, I could smoke away on the patio.

Analogs taste horrible when going back

Oh, I was Febreezing my car at the time. My GF is back in town this week and we have the vents loaded up with vanilla air fresheners.

Yeah, I could pay a detail place to do it right. Hell my 12 year old car could use a detailing, but I might not recognize it afterwards. And I really don't want to spend that right now. Honestly, I can't smell cig smoke in there anymore...but my sense is smell is still not anywhere near 100% yet.

That one little taste actually tasted good to me, like I said. But I know it wouldn't for long. And certain people would be made at me, I would even be mad at myself.

Did something similar about a week free of analogs... it was disgusting never realized they tasted like an ashtray always thought they tasted okay to really great lol. Like some others when I quit other ways (cold turkey, Gum) and I tired one they still tasted great. So seems this may be a permanent fix for me. I cannot see myself trying or buying analogs ever again.
