1. The smell.
2. Unexpected hacking fits caused by a totally innocent laugh.
3. Any more holes in my favorite suit jacket and car upholstry.
4. Smoke in the eye.
5. Fear of starting major wildfires from flicking butts from car.
6. The smell in my car.
7. Mini panic attacks at any minor twinge or pain in my chest.
8. Getting winded from one flight of stairs.
9. Nicotine stains on my fingers and teeth.
10. The smell in my hair.
11. Dirty looks from non-smokers on patios, sidewalks, car next to me.
12. Guilty feeling from smoking near non-smokers on patios, sidewalks, car next to me.
13. Inclement weather nic fits.
14. Preoccupation of wanting a drag when I'm supposed to be listening to someone who prefers that I not subject them to second-hand smoke.
15. "Hiding" my bad habit from friends, family, co-workers.

I am 6 days and 15 hours smoke-free, and I owe it all to a passionate plea for my health from a friend losing a parent to a smoking related illness, another friend whose husband quit smoking with ecigarettes, and my Joye eGo. I have hot cinnamon and icy menthol coming out of my pores, and I'm happy as a little clam. Just received my Joye 510 (splurged when I was high on mega-vape) and don't think I'll ever look back.

Congrats on your near week anniversary!

May I add to your list?

-No glowing cig tips plunging through the atmosphere with ill intent for my manhood while I'm driving
-No matching blisters on my first and second fingers from failing to remove 'stuck' cig from lips, but success with removing the glowing tip
-No emergency stops due to the desire of a cig wanting to be a back seat driver while finding the most combustible item to sit on
-No more dripping gasoline on an empty cig lighter for a flame

I have also noticed smoke in the eye is something i won't miss at all! love to vape, hate trying to find a reliable method.
*Won't be sticking any lit cigarettes behind my ear any more*

-agreed, and no more packs wrapped in my tee sleeve, or crushed packs in my pants pocket:p
-no more eyes burning from.... a non-vented, closed room full of people, and everyone is chain-smoking like chimneys...

AND, welcome to ECF :evil:

Ill add some, 3 days strong so far!

-Having to stay in a non-smoking hotel room and go outside every few hrs, or a stinky smoking room
-My wife yelling how much "that cigarette stinks" everytime I light up
-Cigarette butts and pieces of tobacco in my pocket from trying not to litter butts
-Ash trays and ashes all around the house

Great list and great additions. I have to add my own item that I do not miss...
Trying to find an extra $5.00 for a pack of smokes when I run out.

lol, good one. On that note, I'm sure I won't miss spending extra money from buying stuff I didn't plan to when I stop to get some cigarettes.
