No more tobacco dust in my pockets and drawers.

OH YEAH, thanks for reminding me.... no more tobacco all over the place, in every pocket of my purse, in seat cushions, in the car cup holder (where I used to keep the pack when driving). Nice and clean all the time. No more film on windows either.

Haha, for me it was the ashes in the little compartment at the bottom of the car door! I always left a little crack in the window so the draft would suck all the smoke out. (My wife's nose would smell the tobacco if I didn't do that) What gave me away was the ash in the door, everytime!! Now, no more. :)

^^^^This^^^^^ I felt like I was driving an ashtray.......Nine months later and multiple car cleanings I'll still see an occasional ash dislodged from somewhere if I'm driving with the windows down on a windy day. But no more gagging from the smell when I open tha door......progress!!

1. Not having a burning cigarette fall in my lap while i drive.
2. Not having the walls in my flat turn yellowish.
3. Not having to fight with a lighter on a windy day.
4. Not having to clean an ashtray.

Yes to all of them, but wow, yeah to that one too. I LOVE this thread. There are so many things, some of them I don't even immediately think of that when someone mentions it, it's like OMG (not zero nicotine, lol) that's SOOO true.

My biggest joy is being able to vape around my never-smoking wife. As I've stated before, she *likes* the smell of my vape.

So anyhow, I finally was able to buy a 'Billet Box' (for those that do not know what those are, it is a mod that is self-contained about the size and shape of a pack of cards [or a pick of cigs]) - so anyhow we're in the car and I pull the BB out of my shirt pocket and take a puff and put it back - wife sorta notices and right away screams at me you did not just start smoking again!?!?? - anyhow, it was quite funny at the time.

I've quit smoking a number of times, once for a real 18 months - but have always gone back to smoking. With vaping, I do not feel like I am punishing myself, or missing anything... so I do believe as long as I can keep vaping, I will not go back to smoking. For me it's all about harm reduction, and regardless of what we may learn about the long-term effects of vaping, there is no way they will ever be worse than the long-term effects of smoking.

Perfect and really long lasting vapor rings (formerly known as smoke rings)!!
Still fighting with this. I can do them with jaw movement but the back on of throat technique isn't working quite nice yet. Rings don't come out right with moderated amount of push... Only on low and hence barely travel any distance :(

Lord, I love crazy people. :lol:

I'd quote Sheldon Cooper and say "I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested" but in our house, an appendage would have to be hanging off by more than 50% before they'd take us to the dr. Dad would just say "Cuts & bruises, that's how the Dr's getcha." Then he'd give us a shot of Jagmeister to make us pass out and mom would just say "If it hasn't stopped bleeding by morning, we'll take you to see someone" then light up another Kool and and have a vodka & Sprite and start reading another romance novel.

There is nothing like sitting down on the toilet, in a public restroom, and having a hefty vape session while taking care of one's business. So satisfying. Can't do that with cigarettes.

I like to do that too. It's especially funny to break wind while in restaurant stall and blow out a huge cloud and say "For the love of all that's good, don't get the Salmon!" when you know other people are in there.

Oh I forgot the tobacco bits in my pocket and everywhere in my car. God I hated that too :)

I was driving the grandkids home from school a couple of weeks ago when I was rear-ended (my car was, that is). My middle grandchild, Oscar, was carrying a cup full of dirt with flower seeds. He was heart-broken when it all flew out of the cup all over the front seats and floor.

Later, when I reached into my purse to get something, it was full of dirt. It took me a minute to realize what it was. My first reaction was that it felt so familiar. I had to wonder why for a few seconds, until I remembered the old days of having bits of tobacco in the bottom of all my purses.
