Your Last Cigarette

[Boodle]

With every other quit over the years I knew the day, time and where I was when I had my last cig. Always a big build up, getting rid of cigarettes, throwing away my ashtray, lighters, etc. So much pressure.

Somewhere between day one and three of vaping I realized I hadn't had a cigarette all day. It's been almost 6 months but I'm guessing on the exact day. I have the receipt from the mall ecig or I'm not sure I'd know the week. I was so amazed it worked I forgot to have a "smoke my last cigarette" ceremony.

Congrats to all!! What I did was mock my habits. For example, we never smoked in the house so, I would take my ecig and smoke out on the deck, etc. The first week I was down to maybe 5 real cigs a day and then after that, none ;-) I feel so much better!

last time i smoked cigarettes was when i ran out of batteries on my ego pt and theres no way i could get to a charger, it wasnt fun as it tasted "different." now i made sure i dont run out on batteries, bought myself an extra pair of ego PTs.

I really didn't think my last cig was gonna be my last so didn't make it anything special...But havn't smoked a cig since I got my e-cig besides one drag from a friend just to experiment and hated it comared to vaping. this is after 15 years smoking analogs

Ditto that. Didn't put any pressure on myself. Got to my third pack after getting PV working right and smoked one a day until (FINALLY) the nasty tasting things were gone and I haven't looked back. I DON'T WANT TO SMOKE ONE NOW (so different from other quit attempts) so their hold over me and the ceremony of quitting are both gone.

It was special alright, I smoked for 25 years, and then one night I could not stop coughing and was painful. The next day I bought some snus and used that for two years. Then my stomach was giving me problems. On 7/18/10 My Wife and i received our first ecigs. Since then I feel like I was reborn! Vaping Rocks!!

I was one week in with my first 510. I was still not comfortable with using it, and I was preparing to mow my yard (3 acres). I had my last three cigs, so I smoked them while mowing. Now I have a lanyard for situations like that, and am comfortable vaping while mowing.

I have had many "last" cigarettes. lol. hopefully when my ecig gets delivered I will never have to go back to traditional cigs.

I didn't put any pressure on myself like others have said. I haven't had a "regular" cig since last August. I really like vaping so it wasn't a big deal to me to let go of the other. I did have a few cigarettes a few days into vaping when i had some issues with sensitivity to liquids just so I could get my fix, but once I found something I could vape, with enough nicotine, I was good to go! I like vaping better than smoking.

Last analog was half way home from work, which is a 10 hour drive. I knew my Red Dragon was at home waiting for me but I couldn't wait to give up my 31 years of 2 packs a day non-filter. So I found a 21st Century disposable at a gas station and it got me home. It's been 6 weeks and I have no desire for an analog. Although I'm now totally hooked on vaping LOL. My ego T type B and some duel coil carts, along with some new Pink Spot juice is waiting for me this time home.

might be a dumb question. but are "analogs" what you mean by standard cigarettes?

I have asked a lot of dumb questions- yours doesn't even rank. Analogs are traditional cigarettes.

Congrats on your switch! I know what you mean about not being able to wait to kick the habit. I didn't even wait for the batts to charge on my first eGo kit when it arrived, I just put one together and started vaping, and it's been awesome.

No dumb questions here. Yes, "analogs" are what we call traditional tobacco cigarettes, since E-cigs are the digital substitute.

I've been vaping for over six months and now I can't even remember my last whole cigarette. However, about three days in, I still had one lonely cigarette in a drawer. Out of curiosity I lit it up, took 2-3 puffs and felt nauseated and lightheaded. In April I was with some friends and again out of curiosity took a couple of puffs. No nausea, but nothing else, either. Just blah. I have no taste for them any more.

I didn't know my last cigarette was going to be my last. I just woke up one morning and felt like it was the right day to quit. I went for a run (well, more like a slow jog with my smoker's lungs) and thought about all the things I hate about cigarettes and what my life would be like without them. When I got home, I busted out the Green Smoke I had purchased many months before without really giving it a chance. Then I found ECF and learned all about vaping! I have since ordered a new PV and many eliquids and have never looked back.

I just quit. Don't remember the exact date. I started back up about a month later because I didn't like vaping anymore. I realized a week later that I like vaping I just didn't like the flavors I had. So two different quit dates and I don't remember either.

Nothing special about the particular day (May 12, 2011) or time other than it was the day I quit. I suppose that makes it special in its own right.
