Would you ever go back to smoking?

[Cptfunpants]

Here's a hypothetical question. If eCigs were banned would you ever go back to smoking? I think I would go back to my pipe, but it's hard to say, since I stopped using my pipe and started vaping I have been vaping so much more than I smoked. I'm fairly positive even with my low nic juice I consume more nic than I ever did while I used my pipe.

This is discussion doesn't include making your own custom mods at home, using devices you already own, or stockpiling juice or getting stuff on the black market. Let's just say all eCig products in the world just disappear where would you be? This isn't supposed to be a downer I just think it'd be interesting. A lot of people I've talked to say now that they've been vaping they realize how gross cigs are when they've tried them again and couldn't find themselves being able to smoke them. Where do you fit in?

I would do my best to keep with the gum, as it works fine for getting my nicotine. Last summer I moved back to Virginia. Knowing I was moving I had not been purchasing anything that I didn't need, and I got a 50mL bottle of juice just before I moved. Obviously I didn't want to order something and it show up 2 days after I had moved 5 hours away. Two or three days before I moved my bottle of juice just disappeared into thin air. I searched up and down the whole house I had been staying in and I never ended up finding it.

I had to go back to cigs for those couple of days and let me tell you it was an absolute nightmare. Not only did I find everything about smoking repulsive in every way, but since I had started vaping far more than I smoked, I found myself chain smoking half the time and needing more nic than when I was a smoker. Fortunately I had spotted eliquid bottles when I drove my buddy to a tobacco shop the last time I had been in town and the second I rolled into town I stopped and grabbed a bottle of Hot Vapes Blueberry Fest. To this day, that bottle of juice was probably by far the best feeling vape I have ever had after having to smoke for a couple days straight.

No, I still never found the bottle of juice, and I have no idea what the heck happened there. Luckily it was just a bottle of DK-TAB I had ordered since my funds were very, very low as I had just finished up school and was inbetween jobs, so it's not like I lost a 120mL bottle of CC House Blend or anything like that.

I would continue to dip, but I wouldn't pick up cigarettes again. Even though I've tried and failed multiple times, I can't see myself going back this time.

Not if my life depended on it.

Oh wait.............

Think I would become a black marketeer. Doubt I could ever go back to smoking but you never know. I would prob still vape no nic or make something. When it finally comes down to the nanny state watching you in your bathroom it won't matter amyway.

I forgot to mention that aside from being downright nasty, every cig I smoked made me even feel nauseous and just overall really crappy for like 5 minutes or so after EVERY single one. Plus with my sense of smell back to normal I could smell it all over myself and I felt really stinky too. No way could you pay me to do that again...

If e-cigs ever got banned (which, they wont..) I'm sure it wouldn't be extremely hard to begin making my own juices. If selling nicotine sollution were banned, I'm sure within the 1st 10 days of the ban, there would be many tutorials online about extracting nicotine from smoking cessation patches. So I'd buy 5-6 rebuildable carto tanks and live out my days that way.

They're already banned here, and I'm vaping. Would I ever go back to smokes for any reason? I don't plan to.

E-cigs are outlawed in Canada???

 

[flintlock62]

My answer is not no, but HELL no!

E-cigs are outlawed in Canada???

yeppers, banned for import, sale, advertising since 09. Nonic ones have recently been popping up in stores (for the price of a pack of smokes...), but that's it. As you can tell, it's not stopped most folks.

Based on what scientific evidence? Or is it just hysteria?

 

[recidivus]

Based on health regulation regarding nicotine products.

 

[SlimXero]

No kidding. Wow, you learn something new every day. I thought the canadians were supposed to be more progressive than us redneck yankees obviously, I'm joking. That is disheartening though. I would've thought that would be one place they were safe.

Thats not true. Its stopped NEW folks I'm sure. The only people that ban hasn't affected is the hobbyists and modders. Thats garbage! I had no idea they were banned in Canada... What is being done to reverse this ban?? This seriously ENRAGES me!!

I still smoke 1 analog per day when i get home from work so I can't really say I'm smoke free. Since I have come this far, I would like to think that I would go to the patch or some other way to get nic. Hoping I never have to make that choice.

How about nicotine patches, gum and prescription inhalers?

Have they made eating green tomatoes, cauliflower, egg plant, and potatoes illegal because they have a nicotine content?

If vaping was no longer an option I'd probably go back to cigs, but not to the extent I was smoking before.. hopefully that doesn't happen.
