Help me quit smoking

I've been vaping for 6months. As long as pink spot and fusion vapor keep pumping out their yummy liquid, I'll never go back to cigarettes, and it's not gross. I'm trying to find more solid information on vegetable glycol being vaporized actually been shown to create healthier lungs than none smokers, but I'm having trouble finding those real studies now for some reason.

If you feel like you're just done with the habit all together, power to you, but I've been sober 7 months, and I've been advised to wait a while before cutting out everything. My drug use is nil, but my caffeine and nicotine intake is through the roof. I live on citrus NOS and e-cig's.
 
Well done! I'm a quitter as well, at least that's what I tell myself :p it's all about how much you want to quit and strive to do so. Do you exercise? It'll definitely help you feeling a lot healthier over the long run when you've been smoking free.

I second this motion!

I neeeeed new carto's for my woo... but I'm broke. At least that means I don't have the money to cave on a pack of cigs either haha.


Edit: Finally got some new cartomizers for the woo. And some awesome new flavors of E liquid. I'm happy. Haven't had a real cig in almost 24 hours, And only a few a day the last week. Now that I got everything I need to have my vap up and running...:

I think there is one in OD but I can't find it right now.

We could always start a mega-thread here and merge this thread into it...



I have to sheepishly admit I've been smoking again recently. I almost didn't want to tell you guys because I don't want to be a bad role model or for people who are thinking of stopping to not feel as hopeful because of my actions. But I think it's better for me to come to you guys for support.

I had well over 2 months with no cigarettes at all. Then I found a whole pack in my house that I didn't know I had, and I was celebrating a special occasion and figured I deserved one, and one thing led to another, bottom line I've been smoking again for about the past 2 weeks, albeit way less than I was regularly smoking back before the hiatus (currently 2-4 a day instead of something like 20-35 a day). But I feel like the ol' addiction is kicking back in... :(

How is everyone else doing?

neversickanymore?
 
^^ It's alright, Progress, not Perfection, eh? ;)

You going to give it another shot without any? It's only a matter of time before the habit picks up, which I'm sure you know.


I haven't purchased a pack of real ones in about 4-5 days now. Going to step down the nicotine level in my vaporizer soon. Currently at 24mgs/mL and puff on the thing all day. Going down to 18 mgs/mL within the next few days. I don't know if I'll entirely quit vaping, for the enjoyment as well as oral fixation, but I'll hopefully step down to 0mgs nicotine eventually.
 
Over this entire time I had one cigarette.. three or four weeks ago.. I was sitting around a fire with a friend that smokes... and damn if i didn't have one.. it sucked and I havn't had one since.. so id say i've done pretty damn good=D.. really good to see you swimmD<3
 
That's fantastic NSA!

I just had my first cig in 4-5 days a couple hours ago - I didn't cave and buy a pack, but my roommates dad came by to drop off a couple packs of cigs for him. Aparently wasn't informed that my roommate relapsed brought meth and needles into the house and is currently on suspension..

I didn't want to say anything because I don't know the details of his release of information, so I took the packs and said I'd get them to him and have him call.

Then I wanted one. Whoops 8(

Don't feel too bad, honey. Like I said previously, It took me several tries before I actually gave up cigarettes for good. I don't even know how many times I had quit. You can quit again. <3
 
Thanks everyone :)

I will make sure to re-read this thread and try to remember that once I actually forced myself to stop buying cigarettes and didn't have any it really wasn't that hard. I just apparently have no willpower with cigarettes in the house 8(

caseface99 - be careful, you're doing great :) No need to go back to it just because you had one (like I'm one to talk, but I come from a place of experience, haha)

NSA - you too! Sorry I've been gone lately. I am so glad to hear you're doing so well. Thanks again for being my quitting buddy :)
 
Thanks! I've been slipping here and there, but haven't had more than one real one in a 24 hour period. Haven't purchased a pack in like, almost 2 weeks i think!

Still suckin' on the vaporizer all day but hey, my lungs feel great and I'm picking up the lower dosage E liquid in a day or so. Just haven't been able to get a ride to the store and it's a 4 hour adventure by bus.
 
Hey guys, I need help.. I'm on 28 hours with no nicotine. About to give in because i just want to feel better.

Ive quit last year but a panic attack right before the 10th day made me smoke again.

Edit: phone posted thizp when I wasn't finished typing...will revise


Anyway, I decided to do it for two reasons. I have a new girlfriend who I'm slowly falling in love with and she hates smoke, and my 40 year old smoker neighbor just died of a heart attack. I'm worried about the feelings of depersonalization and anxiety and anger affecting my newer relationship so im trying to rationalize that as a reason to do it...

Edit2: phone keeps posting before I'm finished so I'm done trying. I've read this entire thread before posting and its probably the only thing. That kept me from smoking

A lot of posts since you started the thread, did you manage to quit? i have heard a combination of hypnosis (which you can do in person or do sessions over the internet, yay youtube), patches and nicorette gum is quite effective, also if it's the case that your partner smokes I believe that ill make it harder if they do not also quit

Since then I've been on and off. Right now I'm on. Honestly the last time I stopped for a few days I felt so crazy and so angry/irritable I thought it was wiser for my sanity and that of those around me for me to smoke for now. I don't know what the answer is, cigarettes are kind of self-medication for me. I am still smoking way less than I used to though. I guess progress is a bumpy road.
 
I'm bumping this thread, and hoping that others around here are still trying to quit.

I've been doing pretty damn well the last two weeks, thanks to my new vape set up (pic from google, but I have the exact same set up - dusted stainless steel King mod with patriot RDA. (both authentic, not clones - well worth the $$$)

You got this nsa!

You know you have to attack cigarette/tobacco abstinence just as hard as you would for any other hard drug. The worst part is that tobacco is readily available and somewhat socially acceptable.

I managed to quit smoking for a month a little earlier this year but then started working construction. Spending most of my time out of town and rooming with smokers in smoking rooms, I only lasted another month before becoming an active smoker again. I'm on nicotine gum now and just made my first day smoke free...again.

I wish there were more resources for tobacco abstinence but that's just not the case. I looked up nicotine anonymous but the closest meeting to me is 3 hours away.
 
Good luck NSA, I'm dipping Copenhagen myself and can't get off the shit. Now the store I'm buying from is giving me a five sleeve for five bucks no tax and that ain't helping.
