Three years with the e-cig for me, not even close to giving it up
-
i quit ten years ago when i was 30. smoked on and off for 18 years. chewed tobacco as well. and the only way i had success was being feckin sick of it. the smell, the taste the expense…all of it. you gotta want it. i quit the day we laid our bookkeeper "Marge" to rest. she smoked for the majority of her 74 years right up to the end. and it killed her. emphysema and cancer. i just couldn't bring myself to smoke a cig that day.. and that was that. i will add that hangovers virtually disappear when you quit smoking. thats a plus. and your clothes dont smell like shit. get on with it fellas.
i will admit though.... a couple times a year the wind blows just right (or wrong) and a cloud wafts into my face... and i enjoy it. but most times the smell makes me sick.

This right here. You will not successfully quit smoking unless you 110% want it. I mean actually want it, not just the "oh I know it's bad for me I should quit" attitude. I don't care what methods or drugs you use to try and quit, it won't be successful unless you actually want it.
I smoked for 12 years, quit cold turkey one day 2 1/2 years ago. I was in the gym one day and realised I couldn't catch my fucking breath for the life of me and said fuck this, I'm done. Haven't had a single drag since. Is it easy? Hell no, in the beginning anyways..but it gets easier as time passes and now they disgust me and I can never imagine myself lighting up again.
It's a tough road but easily attainable. Good luck to those trying to quit.

I've never even held a lit cigarette, much less smoked one. And you say hangovers get worse when you smoke? Good god, that sounds suicide inducing.

This is definitely not the case with me. I still get hangovers like a mother fucker.

What would you guys recommend for a vape setup? I've smoked for ten years now.
Winston Gold were my old favorites, but I now smoke American Spirit Yellows since Winston has changed their tobacco.
The amount of setups and options really is overwhelming.
Anyone else only feel or felt like quitting WHILE you were smoking? When I need one the thoughts about quitting are all out the window. I've never felt that feeling until recently and find it strange.
-
Yes hangovers are worse when you've smoked a cigarette ora pack between 11:30pm and 4am

could be I'm a Mormon… or could be I'm just not a pussy and hangovers just aren't that bad.

For sure man. I think almost every cigarette I ever had was accompanied by either guilt, anxiety and or thoughts of quitting
-
Wow..
It's taken ten years for me to even start feeling that. I smoke two in the morning then go 8-12 hours before having another. Normally have 7-10 cigarettes a day.
I also use half a can or more a day of dip (not loose leaf). I don't know which would be harder to quit, but I imagine it would be smoking. Anxiety goes crazy if I even think about never smoking again.

smoked for about 10 years now, since i was fifteen. only ever touched marlboro menthols. not looking to quit anytime soon. as long as i still can do 90mins every sunday at football, i know i'm good.

Hangovers are worse when you've smoked a pack + over a night of drinking, but to say they virtually disappear is entirely not the case with me. Pretty sure hangovers have something to do with alcohol consumption.
-
dehydration from the consumption yes. Which smoking increases quite a bit. Hey man smoke up.
