Holy fuck, can't believe I used to smoke 2 packs a day.
 Actually caught a buzz and was nauseous for hours. Never again.

I bet you are lying and that you felt as if the heavens opened up, and spilled their miraculous glory upon you, soaking your very soul.

Nothing quite like easing back into it. Go straight for Cowboy Killers.
I'm only 7 months out from under the smoking monkey, but even the smell of them turns my stomach. Not sure how I did it for 25+ years. |

FUCK FSC! Actually thank you for adding that shit! That was the last draw for me and made me quit May 1st 2010.
Anybody that cannot tell the difference isn't a smoker. The FSC draw was so harsh and god forbid you let your cigarette sit for a sec while trying to take puff was a total KILL. |

I still smoke occasionally. In some situations, cigarettes and a lighter are just easier to carry. I used to feel bad about it, but not so much anymore.

Sometimes I scratch it, buy a pack, take 2 drags, throw it all in the trash and remind myself that I told myself the last time that it was so disgusting not to try the experiment again. Might re-apply that lesson today at lunch...it isn't that I want to smoke, but those couple of drags really kill the urge, and if it costs me $5 for 6 months of no craving, worth every penny. |

I find most smokers will sell you one.. Lots will give you one, if you offer to buy it..... |

Cheaper to give someone $0.50 0r a Buck for one Cig..... I find most smokers will sell you one.. Lots will give you one, if you offer to buy it..... I smoked for 20 years...I know the culture. 
The $5 just makes the lesson stick better.

I hear ya. When I first started vaping, about 5 years ago I think it is now, I went that first whole year without smoking a cig. When I finally took a drag off a friend's smoke (my old brand, no less), it was terrible. I couldn't believe the taste and how bad it was. I'm not sure what changed over the years, but I still enjoy a smoke on occasion now. Granted, every time I do, and the next time I pick up my mod/tank and take a pull, it tastes glorious and shows how bad cigs do taste. I will say, I smoke less often than before, now that I make my own juice. I would get tired of a favorite juice and then go on a buying spree of pre-made juices and get annoyed at not finding a new favorite, and buy smokes until I did. Now I can just whip up a juice on my own and luckily, I have only made 1 that I didn't like. |

My wife was still smoking at the time. I could lite a smoke for her & still not want one.... I guess I really wanted to quit. She quit later that year... Years later I could smoke one and not want to keep smoking. mainly when drinking and around a bunch of smokers... All caught up to me when I was 44, and started smoking again..... I think you have to really want to quit, you can't quit just because someone else wants you to. It's been a week since I returned to Vaping, I still smoke 1-2 a day. Went 2 days only Vaping. I think this time I may be able to make it stick. |

It's been a slow process for me because I just didn't want to give up that first cigarette with the first cup of coffee routine.
It finally got down to smoking just half the cigarette. As of right now, I've not had a cigarette since Thursday night. |

I've been vaping for three years and I haven't bought a pack since, but every once in a blue moon I'll have one cigarette with a beer.
