Cigarette Smokers Time to quit

I am a long time smoker I recently quit 6 weeks now. I bought the FIN e-cig at Walmart and then purchased smoke juice from Johnson creek to refill the e-cigs any how give it a try I can tell you its not as good as a real cigarette but its better than nothing if you have questions post

 

I was a 2-3 pack a day smoker and I quit over a year ago. I quit cold turkey, infact the unopened pack from the morning I quit is still sitting in a drawer in the kitchen. I left it there so I was reminded every time I had a craving that the only thing which keeps me from smoking is my own unwaivering determination to stop doing it.
It does get easier with time but remember that your will power is stronger than nicotine.

 

I smoked over a pack a day for 22 years. Quit 2 years ago this month using CIG2O e-cig from a smoke shop. I used that for a few weeks and then stopped altogether. I found the hardest thing about quitting smoking was not buying another pack when I'd run out. Now I don't even have cravings anymore...in fact the smell of cigs disgusts me now. Can't believe I smoked for so many years. Wish I had all that money back that I smoked away.

 

Pipe smoker. From my cold dead hands.

I make my decisions in life based on fact and choice, not cherry-picked EPA studies from the 70's that were thrown out by the supreme court. ^_^ Everyone can and should decide for themselves what they want to put in, on, and around their body, and if you choose to smoke or not smoke, I'll support your decision in any case.

 

This makes me want to go have a cig....so I shall.

 

Never was a smoker myself; I always thought it was too expensive and damaging a habit. I've also got pretty bad allergies, so even if I wanted to I couldn't.

The way I look at it, that is extra money in my pocket for other vices such as quality alcohol or more importantly motorcycles.

 

Never cared for cigarettes. Now cigars, on the other hand... damn, that is an expensive hobby...

 

i smoked sporadically over the years... Had a tumor on my thyroid removed (as well as half my thyroid, benign btw) and the thought of cigarette smoke getting close to where that tumor once was really grossed me out.

Quitting though, man nicotine has had a pull on me... After a few days the cravings subsided but watching the guys putting coats on to go for a cigarette had me practically shaking to stop from tagging along... Good on you for giving it up.

Hey Americans, you can't get cuban cigars can you? Man you're missing out

 

Ha, true. I was in jamaica and I bought a cuban and a Dom Rep, i think, for my friend back here in the states. Made me nervous going through customs.

I quit drinking, then quit smoking about 10 years ago. I don't miss either ( much ).

 

I quit drinking about 7 years back now (still have the occasional "night" maybe 4 or 5 times a year but was getting to the point back then where I was pissing my life up the wall every day & night on cheap Whiskey and Cider)

Never been able to quit smoking though (guess I don't particularly want to yet or I would've done), even when I was in hospital for 3 weeks after my accident in 2010 I was going through nicotine inhalators at a rate of knots & every visitors time after I was able to get out of bed, got wheeled outside for a chain smoke :roll:

Those E-cig things are not bad though, have tried them & they "work"

 

I've smoked for 23 years, I did quit back a couple years ago for 5 months. Worst 5 months of my life...

 

Wife and I quit 5 years ago.
I'm back on them,god knows why, I cant come up with a single positive reason for it.
About to stop again.
Dont like to use "Give up" as it implies your missing out on something.

 

My hat's off for all of you who have kicked the habbit. Fortunately I never got stsrted on tobacco. Snacking at night is my vice, not healthy either.

 

after smoking just about anything that would burn for 26 years i just quit, cold turkey, i was drinking beer, about midnight and only had enough tabacco left to roll a tiny little smoke ,shook my head and thought not much of a last smoke, and that was about 7 years ago,wasnt planning to quit weird, at the same time i was working at a brewery and always had 2 full fridges of beer and was never tempted to have a smoke after / while drinking, i guess something just clicked in my head, i have a wife and kids, none of them smoke.

 

Good on all you guys for your replies Personally I have always enjoyed smoking and never really wanted to quit still dont but its time to put it aside and concentrate on drinking.

 

Used to smoke two packs a day. Quit for years, now I 'occasionally' smoke, pipe and cigarettes. Bourbon- now there is a vice that is on the cusp of becoming a bad habit. . . . Last year or so it has become fashionable for a lot of distillers to make 'small batch' bourbons.

They truly are sooo delicious, so many bourbons, so little time.

 

I personally switched from analogs to my VAMO e-cig in Jan of this year. It's definately not the same but the ability to have the nicotine without the 4000+ other chemicals is nice....and I can use it indoors!

 

I smoke about one pack every 2 weeks. just one cig before and one after work. Once my little girl is born then ill probably just quit altogether.

Its easier not to smoke if none of your coworkers smoke then nobody is tempting you.
when everybody you work with smokes then its mighty hard not to get drawn into smoking.

 

Can you smoke indoors anywhere in the states?Here in Canada(i may be wrong) ya cant smoke anywhere inside (exept yer own house) and in manitoba ya cant smoke in the car with anyone under 18.Good reason to quit go for a rod trip with your kids :?

 

This should be the law in the States.

 

Anytime someone say "There ought to be a law" there usually shouldn't be.

The air in your state is already much worse than the cigarette.

 

Was raised on a tobacco farm. Hated tobacco then, hate it now. nough said.

 

Smoked for a year. Never got up to a full pack but it didn't matter cause I was toking, drinking and staying up all night too. Ended up sick, SICK with bronchitis. Took me 3 trips to doctor, a bout with pleurisy, and finally a trip to the mountains to get well. Never went back and damn are they expensive now so I'm glad.

But even more to the point. My dad smoked Pal Mal filter-less most of his life. He got cancer 3 times and beat it twice. After the second time he quit smoking for 7 months-never in my life had he ever looked so good. He went back to smoking and the cancer went to his lungs, thought he had it beat but it had metastasized into his hip. He died unable to speak to any of us because of the respirator-it wasn't pretty. Before you say you gotta die from something, he only made it to 70 and almost all his male relatives (peers and older) are either still alive or lived into their 90's. It's not the tobacco that kills you-it's the crap they add to those cancer sticks to make you addicted-would you intentionally inhale Benzene? Do your research and if you must smoke, do it with your own natural tobacco that you roll.

Ok...getting off the soap box now. Sorry if I was morose but hate to see anyone else do that to themselves while padding the wallets of those bastards at PhillipM.

 

I quit smoking a while back, never smoked much. An occasional Black & Mild.
My wife smoked 2 packs a day. Last month she got a clearomizer vapor e-cig and is now down to 5 or 6 cigarettes a day. Can't wait til she quits altogether, was spending 35 bucks every 5 days for a carton. Definitely a money saver, less smelly and better health wise. Nicotine is still bad for you but at least she's not getting the other crap that's in cigarettes. Also, no second hand smoke.

 

$35 would only buy us 2 paks here they are $14.80/pack of 25 thats $120/crtn

 

DAMMMMN! That's one way to get people to quit.
