^^^ Like! LOL

Not worrying about falling asleep with a cig and catching the bed on fire!
have been taking a stroll throughout the house taking inventory of all the cig burns. 2013-02-22 23.34.35.jpg agree with you on the burning to death observation. another one. i can buy new shirts, and not have to worry about how long before i burn a hole in them.

My interaction with the ladies at the gas station. They don't have anything behind the counter to offer me anymore!

behind the counter, on the shelves, in the cold case. whenever i bought smoke supplies, i was such a trained consumer, it was never just smoking supplies. drinks, junk food, and candy. now it's gas only. when i head for the cold case. i am thinking sugar and caffeine content. i laugh at the junk food section, and the only thing from the candy section?, mints. pretty boring. these trips that used to consume 4/5 stops a day. serious savings in money.

Being able to breath normally again.
No going out in the middle of the night just to light an analog.
No tingling sensation (like your veins are being choked when you light an analog after not smoking the previous night).
No icky taste in the morning even if you brushed teeth and gargled Listerine last night.
No more people covering there noses and giving the judging look at you.
Can last long when playing hoops.
I can taste food better.
I can smell better.
Now, my cousin wants me to keep vaping in his car because it smells good.
Going from $6.00 a day to a whopping $.60 a day!

Not having to vacuum the floor next to my bed once a week because of all those "misses" when ashing.

Not having to carry around a pack of gum in my back pocket at all times in case I ran into a non-smoker friend and we started chatting.

Not having to wait an hour or two between my cigarette and my workouts to let my lungs catch up.

Not having to roll down the window on a cold drive to smoke a cig.

Not having to find an ashtray before 'settling' down anywhere, be it my house or while being out.

Not having to avoid certain drinks/fruits because they clash with cig taste.

Not poisoning people around me.

I can vape in my truck with no ac and that the windows don't work on

when i used to just grab a cig and smoke it, now I must think first, hmmmmmmm, what flavor for today?

constant question: What is that?

I can now vape while playing video games and not worry about wasting 30 cents in three minutes

When I work, I can go all day without a break due to the lack of time it takes to use my PV

My ex-smoker boyfriend never gave me a hard time about smoking, ever. But one day last summer we were talking about someone very dear to him and he suddenly looked at me wide-eyed and said "smoking killed (one friend), and it's going to kill (this friend)..." And I said "and you're scared it's going to kill me." And he burst into tears. After that it was only a matter of time. The person I love most is afraid of one less thing. It's a pretty good feeling.

(Ok, so that's actually a really big thing, and I'm off-topic. Oops. Mea culpa.)

I dont miss that counting cigarettes trying to work out if you have enough until the next day..

No matter how much you work it out you always seem to smoke them quicker.

even though you rationed them out you know in the end your gonna run out and have to buy more.. that I dont miss at all..

Nor do I miss having to walk well away from people who are eating..

Nor do I miss that eghhh feeling every morning and night..


Nor the standing outside in the cold wet uk weather

I have loads lol

oh the list can go on and on...what can you add?

Not having that "ohmigawd did I leave one burning?" panic.

Remember the Labor Day firestorm in the Austin area? I was too damn close to one of the big nasties. My whole county is paranoid now. I'd catch myself having to go back into the house and double and triple and quadruple check to make absolutely sure I didn't forget and leave a cig burning.

First time I walked out the door, had the urge to back and check and could say to myself, "I don't do that anymore"... that was nice. :)

Haven't suffered a migraine since completely quitting analogs. (Hopefully, they're gone for good.)
haven't had a migraine prior to vaping in a while. but i hear you on not wanting them ever again. hope the smoking had something to do with that. i hate the 12 hour puke fests. :mad:
