What It Was Like To Quit Smoking before E-cigs

[Gatso]

Yep good find and thanks for sharing.

I know I cant ever touch another cigarette ever.

I cant help myself - certainly cant sneak a sneaky smoke in once in a while because I know that I will crumble again.

Its hard to quit something you really really enjoy doing.

What ?? you guys can still read ??
I can't read anymore ...NOT books anyway ,NOT like I used to.
I used to keep 10-15 books out of library @ a time,
I have read EVERYTHING on the subject of Ancient Egypt in the okc lib. system...
I had even started to teach myself hieroglyphs & how to read them....

but since I quit smoking I just can't hardly read a mag article anymore,
I catch myself reading the same sentences/or paragraph over & over ....
I am having issues w/all my other hobbies also .....I'm just not interested anymore ?????

Damn CIGS !! ....this is one of the only things that makes me miss them ....

How long have you been vaping?

I ask because when I started vaping full time, I had problems concentrating for a week or two. I think that's because there are other chemicals in cigs besides nic you get dependent on. Also, too much or too little nic in your juice can have the same effect.

After a year, I have zero issue with not smoking. The only thing negative I can say is my sense of smell is a lot better and I can smell things I wish I couldn't, for example, smoke filled rooms and the kitty litter box.

I switched to vaping four weeks ago today. I'm digging it pretty hard, though I have to agree with the poster that said that they vape much more than they ever smoked. Me, too. One reason is that I can sit at the computer, (where I work) and vape. When I was smoking, I had to get up and go to the back door. I can say that my husband has noticed that I hit my eGo a lot, he mentioned it the other day in fact. "You didn't hit that like that when you first got it." *shrug* I enjoy it. I enjoy the flavors, I enjoy the experience. *shrug*

I'm a few days short of 10 months & it has not passed yet ...can't sleep either (or @least not when I'm supposed to) .... & I totally agree w/the smell thing I have tried to drop down my NIC (18-9 no change) maybe I need to go UP ??? I did smoke 2 PAD for 32 yrs ...so those areas of my brain functions may never repair themselves ....

badgerangel ... I "hit" mine as you say constantly .....so you are NOT alone there !

Too much vaping? Not possible?! No such thing...

 

[CraigHB]

That's the first time I've heard of that. Sorry to hear you have trouble there. It's probably not vaping, but rather an effect that smoking has for you.

I vape a lot too. I was a heavy smoker, now a heavy vaper.

That was 20 years ago...I should have said not as of that moment ex wife.

Actually I will be walking down the aisle again on Aug. 12th. Hopefully I chose better this time around.

Congratulations!

If it's okay with you, I won't be sending a gift
