I quit smoking Cold Turkey for two years. It was hell for the first couple of weeks but it slowly got easier. I never preached at people who smoked because I loved the smell of their cigs. I worked in an animal hospital and my boss smoked. When he would set his lit cigs down then walk off for a few minutes I'd stand over the ashtray and let the smoke waft past my nostrils.... omg I loved that smell.
For 2 years I dreamed of smoking and kept looking for excuses to start again. A car accident was what finally gave me the excuse I was looking for. It took me a week to heal up enough to go back to work, and in that time of feeling sorry for myself I converted back to a full time smoker. That was over 20 years ago. Two months into
vaping and not one of those cravings or dreams have occurred. I was down to 12mg nic after the first
three weeks and am now ready to go to 6mg. 12mg is starting to make me jittery. Even if I get to zero nic, which I eventually will, I seriously doubt if I will completely quit
vaping.
Now I can tell if people are smokers but the smell still doesn't bother me much. I don't want to smell like that again, EVER, but I don't find it overly offensive. There are so many other odors that are worse... like BO, farts and cheap perfume. Blech.
