After around 38 years and a 80 a day habit, I kicked the stinkies via vaping (also tried everything else) on 7 July 2013!
mid-Feb 2016.
I smoked 30-40 cigarettes a day for about 18 years. Camel Filter used to be my brand.
I had my last smoke on 14 Jan 2015, but I started vaping in May 2014. Took me that long to kick the habit more than the cravings. It was that morning cigarette that I just could not get over.
I've tried a drag twice since then, out of curiosity, and just can't stand the taste of a cigarette.

Stopped smoking in March 2015. Never looked back. I even had a dream once that someone offered me a cigarette and I turned it down. Lol! I've also converted 5 colleagues off cigs and onto vaping.
Only down side for me is dry mouth. Drinking tons of water doesn't help but chewing gum in between vapes works well.

So I wanted to light the fire this weekend and suddenly realised I no longer have a lighter... Thought it was funny to go to the shop and buy one!
Hahahaha
I still kept all my lighters.
I got a stash of about 6 lighters cause use too keep 1 at work, 1 in the car, 1 in the room, 1 outside, 1 in the lounge so chucked then all in a ashtray in a cupboard. Some of those spots now replaced with bottles of e juice.
I had an ice-cream tub of lighters that weren't mine some years back... (Yes, I was that guy! ).Hahahaha

I had 2 zippo's too! Also not mine!
After telling my mates about it - the tub was emptied over a the next few weeks.
Good idea on keeping a few around
FANTASTIC! soon we'll start marching door to door asking people ...
"HAVE YOU HEARD THE GOOD NEWS?" and give them a pamphlet...
HAHAHA
Ive only convinced one person to quit so far.
I had a collection of Zippo's and many other lighters, from as early as WWII vintage to a bunch of Vietnam Zippo's, etc. Still have 2 of the Zippo's... keepsakes from a specific time in my life that had special meaning to me, and got rid of all the Vietnam lighters from a time that is better forgotten. I had a portable torch that used throwaway lighters I used to use to anneal coil wires with before wrapping. Gave it to my middle age son Saturday with all the new lighters for it (to use for his building RR diorama's hobby).
121 days since last cig
This app really helped me by keeping me motivated. Has all sorts of things like time, money saved and how your health should be improving. It's called smoke free and maybe it could help somebody here or someone you know
Nice app bud I just don't agree with the total savings hahaha. I'm sure you've spent more vaping. Especially to get started up costs about R2000 for a decent kit and juice.
This weekend... I sometimes feel like a cigarette, then I (try) to smoke one. I never get past the first quarter of it.
My wife laughs at me. But that's me, I don't make sense all the time, not even to myself.

Started vaping with a Twisp Clearo at the end of Sept 2015. Got my Subox kit in December.
Haven't had an analogue since 11 March 2016. So far, so good. Got my wedding coming up in 2 weeks and am a bit worried about the presence of booze and cigars, but I'll take it as it comes.
Have to give a big shout out to this site and its wonderful patrons for being the place where people like us are understood!

Way to go! Just take a higher nic juice along to counter the booze and cigars. Will help for the nerves as well

Yea, I've probably spent about 10 times what I've saved on cigarettes since I started vaping. On the bright side I don't have enough money for drugs and gambling so I know I won't get into those bad habits lol
6 months for me now
