One year to the day for me since it's past midnight.

It took a few days for the spaced out feeling to go away for me. I've been doing the e-cig thing since I quit. If the cravings get the better of you then you should grab one of those disposable e-cigs instead of a pack of cigarettes. They're not the same as smoking but you'll get a placebo effect going on and it should make the craving go away.

 

You are trading one form of nicotine ingestion for another. that's why the craving goes away.... Of course, the e-cig doesn't have all the tar that a regular cig does, which is what is really bad for you in the first place. Not that nicotine is really good for you.

 

^^True. I quit when I was 24, but started using Copenhagen within the hour. Used Copenhagen for probably 20 years. It's like swapping seats on the Titanic.

 

I haven't smoked a cigarette in almost 21 years.

 

Nicotine is a stimulant like caffeine. Nicotine is about as harmful to your health as caffeine when taken in low doses like when it is in a cigarette or an e-cig.

I learned something new about smoking a few weeks ago, google radiation in cigarettes related to the mineral apatite.

 

I quit cold turkey for a 10 yr. spell, then someone at work had a baby and gave me a cigar.....well....I smoked it and now back to smoking a couple packs of Swisher Sweets a week. I screwed up so I guess I'll have to quit again when I'm ready for the pain.

 

Congrats! I've tried a few times with no success. The hardest part is keeping your hands busy (while not constantly snacking)lol. I've built model cars and truck since I was a kid, so doing that has really helped in the past. Ofcourse, something always comes up that throws me back into a pack a day. I figure once I re-do the interior of the truck, I'll quit smoking. No sense in stinking up a nice new upholstery job.

 

you all should add up what u spend on sigs... you could quit and go buy a new truck

 

I spend about 12 bucks a month.... which I can live with.

 

Agreed with HeyYou.. I am trying to cut back.. Not quit.. Atleast not yet
