Decided To Quit Cigarettes With The Help Of Vaping

in #life7 years ago

So I decided to quit.

I was very sceptical a pretty long time about vaping and e-cigarettes. I have tried few e-cigs about two or three years ago, but none of them made me feel like the "real deal". Smoking tobacco for about 10 or more years has built a strong addiction, probably that is why nothing else doesn't do the trick.

About two months ago I met a friend who has been vaping for some time and we chatted about this topic for some good hour or so. He told me about how tobacco has all those cancerogenic substances and all that nasty stuff but vaping is a lot safer method to deal with nicotine addiction.

Long story short - got my vape starter kit, some e-juice two days ago and I am trying to switch to vaping.

Since this moment there have been two times where I just needed that old tobacco feel because of the work loads I have been dealing with, but besides that, I feel pretty optimistic.

What ar your thoughts about this?
I would love to hear some experience from somebody who has made this switch or quit tobacco with the help of vaping.

I too was a smoker for over 15 years and now have been vaping for a couple years now, you won't regret the switch, it may take a week or so to transition from smoking to vaping but those hurdles become smaller the more you vape. As result, its a much better alternative, sense of taste and smell will improve, cardiovascular even your skin will start to rejuvenate looking more healthier(i get those compliments often) and much fucking cheaper! If you feel the need to have a smoke just for the nostalgia of it, go for it once in a while, however the more you start to vape, the more revolting smoking cigarettes can be.

All the best mate

Thanks, man!
Seems like everything is just getting better for you.
Does the nostalgic cigarette once in a while doesn't affect the habit of real cigs? Like.. I could see myself getting back on them easily, at least right now.

That sensation will eventually fade, i only like to have a smoke or 2 if I'm having a heavy night on the drink just for ol times sake, always regret the next morning and continue on the vaping. The more you vape, the easier it becomes, its like exchanging one addiction to another, the lesser of the two evils

Best of luck to you, my friend!

Thank you!
I hope I will win the fight with those tobacco demons.

Some friends have had this work for them, they just slowly reduced the nicotine content, weening themselves off it. One managed to quit completely the other went back to smoking cigs. Good luck!

Yeah, I have heard the same stories. Hopefully, I will quit or at least stay on vaping. Nicotine isn't the bad guy, the worst part is chemicals that are made when burning tobacco. Thanks!

Agree, cigarettes contain over 500 chemicals, vaping nic flavoured juice is about 3-4 chemicals
