when i smoked tobacco i smoked hand rolled organic tobacco or drum, minus the little filter gadgets you see some using. i smoked fairly heavily and frequently. at this month's christmas party a boss of mine told me he'd sometimes watch me smoking outside in between studying and serving customers, and it seemed to him like i was trying to extract all that i could from my portion of tobacco. i felt 2 hours was double what was comfortable for me to go between cigarettes, but would tolerate it for work or classes. if i had to go without a smoke for 2.5+ hours i would become pretty agitated, shaky, and dizzy. i could go on, but i think i've made a clear point of my melodrama when abstaining from cigarettes for a temporary or undetermined amount of time.
i've recently picked up a job working the door at a privately owned venue and the breaks are pretty sparse and a good night, and nonexistent on a busy night. i've worked for 6 hours and was allowed one 5 min break, where i could choose to use my pv or use the washroom. the next week i had only time for a few puffs before i had to slip it into my pocket and continue serving patrons. this past friday i forgot my fully charged battery at home, and the battery i had with me had died after a few puffs.
since using a pv i definitely feel as if my cravings are less emotionally and physically intense than was the case with tobacco. while i definitely crave nicotine as i did before, the intensity of it measures slightly above my need for caffeine. i can also now survive comfortably without vaping for about 3 hrs. it definitely feels more productive and less distressing, which is another definite plus for exchanging habits. i also wonder if this is partially because my vaping sessions can be rather continuous while i can the appropriate time, so abstaining for an indeterminate amount of time is less demanding.
anyone else feel the same way?
