The Quit Smoking Support Thread

[QUOTE=CarolinaChick;4434962]Congrats on 10 yrs!! My 10 yr. anniversary of quitting will be Nov. 6th, 2012!


Thanks and to you as well November will be here before you know it.

As far as toughest thing in my life.....yeah pretty close...it was like giving up my "best friend", but once I made up my mind that it was over, it was over. drinking doesn't bother me, I can walk thru a crowd of smokers and it doesn't effect me (except the smell which now turns my stomach if anything else), and driving along without a smoke doesn't bother me either, and I love the new car smell!!!!!

Hang tough everyone!!!

Just wanted to tell my experience. I have been a smoker for 30 yrs. I have been wanting to quit for sometime and have at times for short periods. But since my wife smoked as well that made it very difficult on me trying to quit. Then five months ago I tried the electronic cigarette. That day I quit smoking and have not touched one since except to throw the pack I had away. Did a lot of research and after seeing it is not harmful, 100's of flavors and you can smoke anywhere but on a airplane I was on board. So after five months I am still going strong. It is extreemly easy and cheap! Costs me about $30 a month. And since you can adjust your nicotine level and not lose that hand to mouth thing, or after dinner craving etc., it is making it even easier. Doesn't even bother me to be around smoker's for as long as I can stand the stench anyway. lol I started at a 22 nicotine level and I am now down to 8mg on my way ZERO! Never had a craving for a cigarette since, and after the first day and I smelled what other smoker's smelled like I knew I was not going back. Now my wife has also quit smoking (And that is REALLY saying something) as well as several friends and family, all due to the electronic cigarette. So I am saying this to help anyone in my situation or one like it to maybe give an option to help. Lord knows I am glad I found this and I hope and pray it has saved my life!

And BTW OP, Good luck! May the force be with you and all trying to kick the habbit! :fighting0040:

It has been 5 weeks for me. I am also using an electronic cigarette. What brand electronic are you using?

I started out with an ego-t but I have since gone with a 3ml cartomizer tank and a 6v battery. I used to smoke menthol so now it's peppermint for me!

Congrats to all you quitters and quitters-in-the-making!! Keep up the good work!!!

NSCRFN3, as you're discovering, all it takes is one person with intention - and now you're leading the pack!

No doubt! Everyday people are curious and I always tell them what it is and what it can do for the wanna be non smoker. Almost all my friends and family (except one) are now non smokers due to myself and plenty of strangers have probably quit as well I am sure. I am all about trying to spread the word and hopefully save as many lives as I can. Like I have hopefully saved mine. This has made it so freekin' easy and effortless to quit it's not even funny. And at the rate I am going I will be to 0 nicotine in a few more months. I am just not sure if I will totally quit the electronic cigarette or not. It has such good flavor and the peppermint I am using is such a good flavor for after food, drinks, heck all day! lol

Damn, I thought we all quit this old thread long ago! Who keeps bringin' it back to trouble us?

[molsonbrador]

Sorry zippy. I didn't realize the thread closed with your last post. I just thought someone else might want to share their battle with others going through the same thing.

[CarolinaChick]

I'm so proud of all of you for hangin' in there! A healthier you is in the making!

ROCK ON!!!
