Two more ex smokers (I hope)

[Rharp]

Well I waited to make my first post until we got over the two week mark, and today is it.
My wife and I both started smoking around the age of 15,we are both 42 now.
We both had about a pack a day habit. She has quit two times in the past for nine months at a time,
don't need to explain that one....I have never even tried..
I always said that if I could quit working and drinking, then I could quit smoking, but now that we found these e-cigs I don't have to give up anything but the smokes....

Any way it's nice to read all the posts on here about success, makes me feel that there is a chance this might work..


SO FAR SO GOOD............

Welcome and congratulations! If you can make it two weeks.....you can MAKE it. It just gets easier. Really. I smoked for over 40 years (40 years!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!) and I've been cig free for 5 months and 1 day! It really does get easier. What a nice Christmas present you've given to yourselves.

I tried to reply on other posts but I couldnt so... I was a smoker for 10 years, years ago a buddy had an e-cig and I didnt think much of it. I started to feel all those years in my lungs and chest. My wife would always complain about my smoking and my daughter would always ask me to quit. I always thought an e-cig would be expensive to try because I researched them years ago and wasnt willing to drop $150 to "try" something. About a month ago I saw e-cig's at 7-11 for $20. That I was willing to try. Fast forward a month now and talk about life changing! I feel WAY better, no cough or hurt throat, I have more energy and no longer get winded. Browsing the net I found ecf and now I am a full fledged vapor. I bought myself a joye510 dual starter from ev cigs, a pcc and cartomizers from cigtechs, a 510 passthru and atomizer from Route 66 vapor, samplers from e-smokey treats, and some REALLY good liquid from Gourmet Vapor. From the day I bought my 7-11 e cig, I have not touched an analog. This is a dream come true, I get all the "smoke" I want and none of the risks. I work in construction and not a day goes by when someone asks about my PV, I try and recruit anyone who will listen to a reasonable argument against Big Tobacco, now I know you cant change them all but Im gonna try!
P.s. Goodbye Blue American Spirits, never will I pay $7.00 for your killer product. Vape or Die.
Oh yah, All of the above mentioned suppliers shipped to my door in 3 days! (you know a ex smoker Hates to wait)

don't need to explain that one....

I don't get it.

Welcome, and congratulations! Glad to see you guys are enjoying the change. My wife and I started at the same time too. She's cut back to half of what she used to smoke, and I'm just over a month without any. It feels so much better!

Thank you all so much for the greetings.

With friends like that how can we lose..........

I am 35 now and smoked since I was 13..and went to a pack a day from age 18-30..then at 30 cut down to a half pack and 3 cigars a day.
I would smoke cigars all day..i just cant afford them! My habit cost me around 10 bucks a day..now I am a EXTREME esmoke..I smoke 7 ml a day on average. Probably 5X more then i smoked normally.
if normal cigars were cheap i would be smoking them..I do this for economic reasons. But I dont smoke hardly ever anymore regular smokes.

Congratulation to you both and welcome to ECF.

 

[MsBree]

Congratulations to both of you!!!!!!!!! I introduced my girlfriend and her hubby to e-cigs last week....not really sure how well it went, but the seed has been planted! I even let them take a few drags...time will tell!

 

[Steve.Adkins]

W0oT!! Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things you'll ever do and it sounds like you're well down to the road to success!! Great Job!

congrats on jumping into the ecig world. You will not be dissapointed with your transition to digital smokes. everyone that i have talked to in my family finds it impossible to smoked analogs now. Not only does the taste of normal cigarettes change after a short time using ecigs, but the smoke will get to you making it impossible to smoke them
