Would you ever smoke analogs again?

[PatriciafromCO]

nope never go back. Been testing the waters on how I am doing by using the 0mg nic level more and more often as well as leaving my E-cig behind.. Just trying to see if I can let go of the physical habits I developed on analogs. The biggest ping I wish I had something is the drive back home from town.. Getting to town and running around no longer bothers me,, but it's like clock work it's on my mind when I jump in the truck to drive back home... (easily forgotten and I drive home just fine) but it's interesting how some things just trigger the impulse when so many others. So for right now the e cig stays parked at the computer and I've been ok with that...

No, I would not. Before I started vaping, I was weaning myself off cigarettes because I was experiencing an ache in my lung that was getting persistent. The ache has slowly diminished over the past two weeks that I have been vaping, but still I do not want to risk it. I have a baby that I would like to see grow up.

Besides that, there is no way my wife would let me.

Without a doubt.. But I'd drive to Mexico to buy em... no way I'll pay the prices they are now .. I was in the gas station the other day and saw the prices and nearly choked on my slushy.

they tax imported cigarettes in texas...I think its about 40 per carton with a two carton limit after all the taxes are paid, the cigs are about 16 dollars in mexico, I'm not really sure, it's been months since I bought cigs in mexico, but use to...between the wife and I, we would bring back four cartons every trip to mexico....I was "big tobacco" at one point!! I had cartons everywhere...I'll never use tobacco again...they stink and taste like buring trash compared to vaping.

I had a good night's sleep and thought carefully about answering my own question.

I was totally addicted to analogs, and i know i am even more addicted to vaping.
I enjoy vaping so much more. It's turned into a hobby really.

When i was smoking analogs i hated them, but felt i had to continue.
I was actually afraid of stopping them. A love-hate relationship of sorts.
This happens when drugs become a negative re-enforcer.

Vaping, has no doubt projected me from one addiction to the other.

If i had no way of obtaining vaping materials in the future, i probably would revert to analogs.
I would try bloody hard not to, but i'm pretty sure i would succumb to temptation.

moral of the story....i really have feelings of hatred towards the FDA at the moment.

Another quick fix would be, to change home, from Florida back to Europe where I'm originally from...but i have been living in the USA for 14 years now...and love the way of life we have, as well as the people.

 

[Lisaf01]

two words......

black & market

 

[D. Waterhouse]

NO! I thought I would never quit but after one tough week I'm good. I've tried a puff of analogs here and there, no thanks! I'll go with nic gum and suck on my pen at ramdom times.

 

[usamare]

Over the last six weeks I've been researching the technology of the nature lovers.

Using herbal vaporizers that were undoubtedly built with something else in mind,
I'm quite confident I could get by vaping pipe tobacco n such.

Not so clean and nice as e-cigs, but it beats the alternative.

 

[sherid]

I would continue to smoke but hopefully at the greatly reduced number I now smoke. I think that is completely doable.

 

[Lazarus]

Well, I would probably smoke cigars full time.

I still smoke 1 or 2 nice Ashton Dominicans a week . I can't seem to get away from them. I don't really want to either.

That's not really cheating now, is it?

 

[Father Luke]

I won't go back. At least I hope not. I'd been quit for five years when I started vaping.

 

[RIMP]

Would go underground Never again to cigs.
Feel so much better now

 

[pattyjo]

Definetly I would not before i gave up analogs they were making me sick the taste, the smell. now when i walk near someone smoking i gag. I cant stand it I never got as much pleasure from analogs as i do with the ecig

 

[Superstargoddess]

After only 8 hours of vaping in my entire life, I can honestly say that I would not want to smoke a real analog again. This is so much more smooth. (and cheaper!) But up until today I was smoking the cheapest nastiest most raunchy analogs that they had.

 

[DarkCat]

my goal is to get off a NIC not to quit doing something i love but if it means getting back on the junk then no i would not smoke.
but having a Masters in electronics and a Bachelors in chemistry ill make my won e-cigs and liquid

 

[vjnnc]

No way, no how. I smoked for 30 plus years and was one of those people who always said - when cigarettes get to $blah blah blah, I'm quitting. I never did. But, I REFUSE to pay that kind of money for something I now think tastes like ....

I don't have but a few months supply and have already begun thinking about giving up the vaping once my supplies dwindle.

 

[surbitonPete]

The simple answer is to try to go without vaping for a few days......you will soon know if you will return to tobacco or not.

 

[steven.rn]

Never, ever going back. Ever. Did I say ever?

 

[Qlike]

I'll never say never, but, I had a drag off an analog last week and literally gagged on the taste. It was a chemical taste I never noticed in my 25 plus years of smoking. I also can't imagine putting my non smoking friends and family thru that stank ever again.

On the reality side though I think I would go back eventually. There's something for those wonderful anti e-cig people to consider... Just how many people will you consign to an early death by having these things banned? It's on your head anti ecig types.

 

[YKruss]

No... Underground...

 

[ztsd]

Honestly? Probably. But I'd hate it.

Maybe I might try vacationing in a country where it was legal.
