I've been trying to quit smoking stinky cigs for years now, and couldn't even make it through a full day. Lol.
I started vaping to quit smoking, (last cigarette was June 15th :D ) and it's turned into a really fun hobby.
I was wondering if anyone here is in a similar situation, or if anyone is trying to quit smoking and is interested in going the route I went. I could try and answer your questions.
They smell good
Good luck man. I quit a few years ago. It will add many quality years to your life :)
That would mean.. around the time that PL started?Quote:

Happy for ya, bro. Stay strong and use that daughter of yours as motivation. ;)
Whenever you need motivation, think of me. You can't fail a guy with your name ;)!
I thought of you... then I quickly lit a cigg so I could change thoughts. ;)Quote:

I quit couple years ago, relapsed, then quit again for good so far.
It gets easier the longer you go without them. When it was simply habit, I started new routines around those times like after dinner or whatever. When it was the chemicals that we're the bigger prob I substituted say caffeine to use a lesser of two problems, then sway away from stimulants.
It takes a while for your adrenal to wake up from the slumber it's in when your system is used to regular fixes of nicotine.
There is no one right way cold turkey or slowly weaning off, i wish you the best. I've never heard anyone quit and regret it.
Whao you guys smoked? I feel inspired jk
I have a fake cigar with bubbles ^.^

I still crave them even after all these years. :nightmare: Especially if I'm out having an adult beverage or at the pool hall.
I know if I talk myself into "just one" I'd get hooked again.
You should look into e-cigs. (not the crappy ones from the liquor store)Quote:

The cool thing is you can lower your nicotine intake as you go. I started at 18mg, (pretty high) and I'm all the way down to 6. (low)
I'm working and on mobile, so can't really posts links. There's lots of good info on Reddit, though. (I know you're an old timer. Have you heard of it?) Search e_cigarettes there.
When you say crappy ones from the liquor store, do you mean the Blu electronic cigarettes? The time I tried those, I dont remember them being too crappy. Then to see if I could, I tried to quit cold turkey...DID NOT WORK! It was the crappiest 6 hrs of my life...Quote:

I'm using an itaste svd for when I'm home, and an itaste mvp for when I'm at work, if you wanted to check those out.
My Grandmother was one of the lucky ones in terms of quitting "cold turkey." She was a chain smoker (meaning the ONLY time she did nit have one was when she was in the kitchen), and never once tried to stop. Then came the day my family learned my little sister had cancer: 60+ years of smoking ended immediately. My grandmother lived another 15-16 years without ever smoking again, but her last 3 years of life she had complications caused by all the smoking. The doctors told us all of those complications would have occurred much sooner if she hadn't have stopped when she did.
I guess my point is if you find the right motivation/help, it is always possible. My father-in-law is a heavy smoker and my wife and middle sister-in-law bought him an expensive e-cig set. It worked great for about 1 month then my youngest sis-in-law talked him into smoking again. (Don't get me started on her drug induced, drunken stooper, government benefit abusing ---.)
Why would you inhale Cold turkey? Or is that a name for something else?Quote:

Smokers smoke it only when it's absolutely necessary and it's easier to quit smoking this way.
The term "cold turkey" comes as the turkey meat which u either eat or inhale must be stored in fridgerator as it is meat.
Well...time to eat chicken on thanksgiving...Quote:
