Any cigarette smokers out there?

[markingold]

I love to take any oppertunity to share the good news about vaping (e-cigs). I was a heavy smoker for several years, but for the last 15 months I have been using electronic cigarettes. I would love to share my experiences and opinions with anyone interested in quitting those nasty ol' things.

**I do not sell e-cigs or stand to gain anything from the sale of them.** Just the satisfaction possibly saving someones life the way someone was kind enough to help me save my own.

I'm a wealth of information on the subject, and it would be my honor to give back to this forum. I know I'm going to have a lot of seemingly newbie questions about teardrops in the upcoming months, and I would like to share any knowledge I have on other areas in exchange!

Nope, sorry, I quit a few years ago and bought a teardrop with the money that I saved.

I quit 31 years ago, and the money I saved has helped pay for two divorces...

I quit about 30 years ago and used the money I saved to..well, I'm still poor.

There isn't a morning that goes by that I couldn't use a smokey treat.

I quit smoking in february 1994. I use to smoke 2 1/2 packs of marlboros a day. It only took me a thousand attempts at quitting but I finally did it. The bottom line is if you want to quit, just keep trying.

At my worst I was up to 5 packs a day. I'd wake up at least once in the night and have a few smokes and go back to sleep. Only ate at ''smoker friendly'' establishments... Then I got in to chewing tobaco, since I cound keep a dip in at work, then smoke on my breaks. I put cigarettes down last year and never missed them. Quitting chewing tobaco is an ongoing battle.

I quit at 2 to 3 packs a day using the patch. I did it on my first try. I absolutely do not dare have another ciggy as much as I would love one somedays because quitting will likely never again be that easy.
That was about 10 years ago and I still look for my lighter in my pocket and miss that zippo clink of it opening and closing. I cannot convince my wife to quit even as we watch her mother die from it, a slow painful death, cant get no air, sit on oxygen, smoking .. I promise myself I will never go down that road...

I was going to call my camper cough drop. A friend and his wife used one and he said it worked.

My cousin swears by his e-cig. I tried it, and couldn't make it work for me so after $400.00 worth of chantix I've been smoke free for about 8 weeks now.

Just curious, how long where you on the Chantix? I had a buddy who started it to quit chewing tobacco, and it was working till he broke his leg and had to stop taking it cause of the pain pills.

I've heard they work really well with "herbs"

I'm 2 1/2 years alcohol and tobacco free. I had to quit both to kick the tobacco habit because they were closely linked for me. I used Chantix for three months...but it was still really tough. At this point...I can say I really don't miss either... but I'm not likely to chance a drink or a smoke.

As a side note...being able to quit taught me a bit about myself, my inner strength and self discipline. Keeping with the self improvement theme, this spring I worked on diet and exercise to lose 20 lbs I picked up over time. I simply feel 15 years younger...my blood pressure, pulse, and cholesterol are vastly all improved...and my outlook on life is really positive!

I really didn't consider E-cigs as a way to help me quit...but if they work for folks...Great!

Chantix will be a three month process for me. The script calls for two pills a day, but after about three weeks, I take only one in the morning, so I will get about three and a half months out of my two one month boxes. Doc said that was ok as long as it was working for me.

I haven't started gaining weight yet, but am intentionally trying to be more active, and I'm pounding down water like I enjoy it.
