All of the above, but most of all getting the stink eye from non smokers and being made to feel I was a low life because I smoked. I swear to God, in 5 years it will be legal to stone smokers to death in California - you just watch! ;) So glad I am done with all of it and I couldn't do it without my trusty 510!

lol I know its not funny but your are probably right...ever notice if your an alcoholic you have a disease if you smoke your just weak willed

LOL yup, that's why I've been a "closet smoker" for many years now. Er, make that WAS. I carried baby wipes with so I could wipe my hands before walking into a building to get the smell off. LOTS of Febreeze. Breath mints, tooth bleaching, light scented body sprays to mist into my hair. When people did catch me smoking they were always surprised so I guess I covered it well. It was also annoying if they'd see me slipping out the door at work and scream "Oh are you going for a SMOKE BREAK???" ...... me off that they would have to draw attention to what I was doing. It's not like I screamed out to them "Oh, are you going to take a giant CRAP on your break????"

The sad thing is, I feel so accomplished now that I am at a week without smoking but since I did it incognito for so long, there's no one to say "good job!" I guess that's why I'm here on these forums :)

Since nobody else has said it, Congrats! And keep it up. It's sure nice to be able to breathe again, isn't it?

I'm with ya girl! ;) I was a closet smoker too, nobody at work knew only a few friends and family! I would put on lotion and perfume to hide the smell. So glad I am off those cigs! And the e-cig has made it so easy to stop - I don't miss it at all. And best of all - no smells to worry about!

burning the upholstery on my 2007 acura because i misjudged the window and leaving a nasty mark. :mad:

Yup, I bought a new car two years ago with light cream colored leather upholstery. Before I got home I had meant to flick an ash out the window, hit the A pillar with it left a black streak and knocked the cherry onto the floor mat and burned a hole in it. :mad:

I recently had it detailed and replaced the floor mats. Whole different car it seems. Luckily I've not smoked in this house since we bought it 8 years ago or I'd have to be painting, replacing carpets etc. I like this vape'ng thing. :D
