Actually, I have read numerous accounts of people trying to "reduce" their nic intake, and several that have quit altogether. I do believe it is a common denominator amoung the majority of cigeratte users; that they may one day be able to quit (or at least greatly reduce the nic levels). Of course a large portion also want to save money, smell better, improve their health, etc, etc.
I honestly enjoy "the act of smoking". Hate spending more and more $, despise smelling like an ashtray, and am really really bugged by non-smokers annoying opinions; but I decided to try this on a whim. A friend of my son showed me his, and I was intrigued, then I googled, and read, and read, and searched,,.till my brain about overloaded.... but it seemed to be the perfect fit.
I missed all my flavor cigarettes (and had to resort to cigars to smoke one of my favorites), the savings was obvious, I wouldn't STINK, and I could possibly improve the health of my son and I.
I'm not sure if we will quit. Although my analog smoking is going down every day. I know my health is better; yesterday I smoked more regular ciggys (still trying to find the right nic level in my PV) and I woke up with a tight chest again this AM. And... amazingly enough, after only one week of vaping, and my cigarette usuage going from almost 2 packs to about a 1/2 pack; my sense of smell is improving!
I laid in bed the other night and it was like heaven... I could smell the clean fresh scent of my bedsheets... I drifted off to sleep with a smile~
So for some people, I think they switch for other reasons, and find themselves able to quit, or at least in a better position.
