unexpected progress

[mrwade01]

Hi all,
I thought I should take a couple minutes, mainly for the benefit of those on the fence, to talk about how my first five days with an e-cig have gone. I have been smoking for over thirty years now. Over the last two, I have even given up on trying to keep it under two packs a day. I originally purchased my 901 with the hope that it would be enough to help me stop smoking in the house. Somewhere in the ongoing process of moving in to our new house, I lost my "safety pack" over two days ago and have yet to feel the need to replace it. The last couple of analogs I bothered to light up, I couldn't stand the taste of (WHOOOO HOOO).
I am not yet mentally ready to say anything like "I quit" or "I'll never smoke again". At the same time, I don't really need to. If anyone lurking around out there has had to live with this habit as long as I have, I can't urge you strongly enough to give the e-cig a try, just to see what its all about.

mrwade01 glad all is working well for you! I thought the same thing when I first started vaping, I would carry around a pack of smokes just waiting to get that urge...that never came

It's a great feeling isn't it? Chalk me up as a success story in progress as well! Been smoking for 15 years and have cut my habit down from a pack a day to roughly 5 smokes a day, in only a month...Keep on keepin' on!

I did the same thing. I was a smoker for 16yrs and tried everything under the sun to quit. The first 5 days with the e-cig and I completely quit analogs. I've never been happier.

Good for you Wade--took me one day to switch after over 25 yrs--Sure I vaped like hell to start, but after 2 days I lite an analog and it tasted terrible. About two weeks later I could start to smell others who smoked (even when they were not smoking) and it is a horrible smell--to think I let myself smell like that for that many years and not know it?--All I can say is 3 months later, I can smell a smoker's clothes a mile away. Keep up the work--Happy vaping--Sun

Congrats! I smoked analogs since I was 17 (long, long ago) and started using an e-cig on Dec 31 2008. I haven't been tempted to go back at all.

I started smoking 34 years ago, at the age of 13. Was smoking 2 packs a day or more. Started my e-cig 2 weeks ago and have not had an analog since. My sister was so impressed that she ordered an e-cig for her husband. It worked for him too..he's now on day 5 with his e-cig. (we both have 901s and love them) I feel wonderful. I can breath better, smell better,taste better,and I have more energy.

I haven't smoked a cigarette since the day I got my EVO...2 weeks, now.

I did, however, take a couple of drags from a Marlboro Red 100...My old best friend...Just to see how it felt.

Hated it. It tasted HORRIBLE, there was NO throat hit and it smelled rotten.

Man am I glad I got away from those things.
