Today is THE Day!

[Fred Garvin]

Well, I made it. Today is One Year analog tobacco free!

I smoked my last tobacco cigarette on June 14, 2012. I had been supplementing my SafeCig use with my usual Camel Filters, having cut back to a pack every 3 days. The morning of June 15, 2012 I woke up needing smokes. Somehow I managed to just not go buy any, staying with the SafeCig's 100%. I stuck with SafeCig until they went out of business; had a quick try of V2, then bought my first Ego/CE4 and have been on mods/juice since.

I smoked tobacco cigs for 30 years. I quit twice during that period....first time was during basic training for the Army in 1988....I quit for 1 month before I got a contact in the PX who could smuggle packs...and I kept a pack and lighter well hidden. The second time was back in 1998; quit for 6 months using Zyban....as soon as I stopped taking the pills the cravings became overwhelming.

With the Personal Vaporizer it's not like I've quite....just cut out the really bad stinkies...one habit for another.....I hope to never go back to tobacco.....as long as we can keep doing what we're doing......

One year is quite an accomplishment, and welcome to the second best year of the rest of your life.

Strange. I STARTED smoking in basic training in '82 because smokers got two extra breaks!

 

[PDADoc]

Congratulations! That's a great milestone! I eagerly look forward to my own mark of six months.

Anyone can do what I've done...and many, many have already and exceeded it by far.

Find a great vape you love, get the nic level right, and just fight off the occasional urge. I found that if the nic level is high enough, just a few chain vapes will satisfy that stinkie urge. I started at 24mg and am now at 18mg. I have no plans to drop that or "quit". I'm enjoying vaping and unless they find some horrible side effect...or change the laws to make it no longer viable....I'll be vaping for a long time to come. People quit smoking because it's proven to be terrible for you....with vaping we've cut out all the tar, carbon monoxide, thousands of chemicals, 2nd hand smoke danger....all that comes with burning tobacco.

A year later I enjoy this more than tobacco. (I was never a cigar or pipe aficionado so true tobacco store tobacco aside)

Congratulations, Fred! And you too, pappy!

I think we should declare our "vaping anniversary" a holiday that qualifies for cake. And champagne.

Congratulations Fred, Vape On!
