Temporarily smoking while on holiday.

[GarrettGotu]

Thanks for the replies everyone, keep them coming.

I'll try my darnedest to only vape, but with the places I'm going and the things I'm doing, It'll probably be rather difficult to vape, and I'm not holding back.

Usually very, very concious of my health / diet, but for this month I'm away I'll almost certainly let loose with the full knowledge that I could properly relapse.

Well it seems like you already have your mind made up and want to smoke . If you want to, do what you want to do.

I have to agree it sounds like he wants to take a vacation from vaping or from being a Non-Smoker. Former smoker?

Hi Steve,

Yep, I'm a former smoker, and I can see why it sounds that way.

However, I haven't had the urge to smoke since I started vaping, I'm an adult and I don't need to justify my vices, however I'm anxious that I may start again full time, so I was curious to see if anyone else had done so in the past

I'll buy a vape over there, however if it goes flat / no juice / I can't vape for whatever reason, then I will smoke cigarettes.

I smoked for almost 35 years and during that time I quit many, many times. From my own experience once you start again after stopping it is even harder to stop again.

A good friend of mine who passed away years ago from smoking related illnesses told me a good thing to use when you stop...........

It is OK to want one just don't have it! Wayne Wright RIP Buddy!

Well you said you don't have an urge to smoke. Yet this post is you talking about having an urge to smoke ( still an urge be it from convenience or because you feel you need one)
As @SteveS45 said, once you start after stopping , it's harder to stop again. I know that from experience, i quit , then started again for the same reason. Travelling for a couple weeks, it's more a easy way to get the nic. And convenient .
I only intended it to be for the week . That was in November. Finally kicked it 3 weeks ago. Way harder this time...

Garret no offense or disrespect intended and my apologies because after I posted my last comment and was preparing dinner I thought about it and I said to myself I sound like the kind of X-Smoker I said I would never become over 1.5 years ago when I quit. I can't help feeling strongly about no-smoking but I should not become and anti-smoking activist!

On a side note I lost someone close within the last year from smoking and right now dealing with my Dad and Emphysema. You have no idea how many years these people said I should stop and I never listened. Those of us who are expressing our opinions really only have your best interest in mind. Good Luck and Happy Vaping

No offence taken, thank you for elaborating though, really appreciated (I'm coming to an electronic cigarette forum, honestly what did I expect )

And I'm sorry for your loss, I suppose I'm looking at it though a young man's eyes, so fairy naive and unaware of the bullet I'm about to walk into.

Thanks.

There's always nicotine lozenges too.

If I can vape fruity flavors while drinking beer, I think I licked cigs for good
