Unused analogs

[John1952]

I still have seven packs of Marlboros in a drawer, left over from when I smoked. Two months ago, I never could have imagined that I could quit smoking and still have cigs in the house. It's like a lost all interest in them, and they aren't the slightest temptation.

My wife's son is coming to visit next month. I'll give them to him -- unless I can turn him on to vaping.

Any other non-smokers who still have cigarettes left?

 

[enchantedwonder]

I do. I have two in a pack upstairs, and probably ten in a pack downstairs. I'll eventually throw them away.


vaping is my choice for me... and I can go to analogs anytime I want. That mindset is what helped me quit my 1-2pad over thirty year habit

I wouldn't give them to anyone..... just my two cents.... when my Dad (of blessed memory) had a stroke years ago... my Sister gave his left over cigarettes to my Uncle. He had a heart attack that day.... I would turn him on to vaping.... IMHO.

I had a pack of pall mall reds, I just gave them to my room mate.

 

[Sissylala]

I threw mine in the dumpster on the way to work 7 days ago. I had about 4 packs left.

when I first started I had a pack an 1/2 in my freezer for about 5 months my brother came by one day and took them it was another month or 2 before I realized they where gone

I still have almost a full pack of NAS Black in my glove box. I'll get around to trowing them out eventually .

I had 7 cigs left and I placed them in a large pill bottle and sealed it with tape. If I need one, I have it there; don't have to buy a new pack, don't have to bum one, I have my own. I agree the attitude, "and I can go to analogs anytime I want" has relieved unnecessary pressure. I smoked 555 cigs in 2012 and have NOT smoked 1770. If I tried "quit or die"; one cig, or buying a new pack, would start me down the slippery slope, but smoking 554 or 556 would not have made a huge difference in my health, wealth or my preference to vape.

The 1770 + are the ones that count and my little reserve has removed any panic situations I may have encountered. Everyone has their own strategies based on how they are wired.

Enjoy!

I Still have a pack of lights, I just recently came back to vaping and I suppose I just haven't around to tossin em. Its not really a bother at all having them around, in fact this is probably the first time I've thought of them.

Holy cow. Your sister must have had a hard time getting over this event!

 

[Kamin_Majere]

I still have 19 camel light 99's sitting in a pack. I've had them the whole time i've been vaping, but i'll probably hold on to them. Never know when you might want to light one up to remember why you quit.

I had 2 pounds of bulk tobacco, about $80 worth, in my freezer for 6 months or more. I used to RYO. Plus there were 2 rolling machines and several boxes of filtered tubes in a closet. Altogether about 5 or 6 cartons worth of premium smokes!! Even after I was sure I'd never smoke again, I just couldn't bring myself to toss them. Finally, a smoking friend who was unemployed and no too lazy to RYO stopped by and got a nice surprise. Even thought I couldn't covert him to e-cigs, at least I got him off the pre-packaged garbage.

 

[Semiretired]

I tried that. I heard so many talk about that last pack sitting in a drawer for months or even years and how proud they were of it gathering dust. Well, I smoked them - one here and one there - tasted terrible, but I kept smoking them - it took me a couple of months to smoke them, but I did... Everytime I went into that drawer I would see them. I should have put them under the mattress or something. Have not touched one or thought about buying any since the last one was gone. I do not see how ya'll do it - my hat is off to any that can...

 

[Nerrvana]

I sent mine via fedx to my sister, better then tossing them as I didn't want the temptation around in the beginning.

 

[bluebelle]

I have none. I know if I had any, I would sooner or later smoke them.

My goal is to vape and to not smoke.

One is too many for me, and too many are never enough when it comes to them.

Just me, but I would throw them away if you have made the commitment to vaping, no need in looking backward.

They're good for bee/wasp stings, that's about all I can find they are good for. Every time I run across a pack I've stashed over the years, I just smile and remember how nasty they tasted! Almost 3 years now and I still find them stuck in places I have no idea when or why I put them there!

 

[genelman]

I flushed the last 2 packs down the drain.

 

[ProV Erawk]

I gave away an opened pack last night, but I still have an unopened pack. I'm not sure if I'll keep them or give them away.

Dang it!! I have a zillion wasps around my house. I've even been stung since I started vaping and when all that tobacco was still sitting in my freezer. I had forgotten all about using tobacco for stings!! Now I wish I would have saved a bit of it. Great. Now that you reminded me, I'm sure to get stung again soon. I don't suppose juice would work?

Hum, I'll have to go see if I can find anything out online about exactly what it is in tobacco that helps with stings! BRB!

Many traditional remedies have been suggested for bee stings including damp pastes of tobacco, salt, baking soda, papain, toothpaste, clay, garlic, urine, onions, aspirin or even application of copper coins.[6][7]
