I really enjoyed this thread. I'm a smoker, but not for long!

Yes you have, if I can do it anyone can! Haven't smoked for 11 weeks now but still love the smell of someone else smoking a nice fresh cigarette. Hate the smell of an ashtray though ..... Mind you I always did. Good luck.

I have wrestled with this idea for months now and bought an e-cig which worked 50% of the time.
Biggest issue was it looked like a ciggie so my mind couldn't divorce the fact it wasn't and so I ended up only 50% of the way each day still buying the dreaded weed.
Really felt like ****e with wheeze, cough and an empty wallet so I went and bout an eGo-Y cartomizer with some e-liquid on Friday 2nd August and downloaded the Quitit app to my phone.
I haven't touched, or had the inclination to touch a ciggie since that date and cough is gone, wheeze is gone and vaping really does help.

Hope this helps.

I quit smoking 3 weeks ago as of Saturday, and its been great. I just went cold turkey. I've been struggling with it since the end of February, but something finally just clicked for me this time.


I found this site http://www.globalone.tv/profiles/blogs/what-happens-to-your-body-if/ which is kinda cool. tells you the changes your body goes through when you stop smoking.

* In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop back down to normal.
* In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal.
* In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. All nicotine will have left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level.
* In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase.
* In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks.
* In three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%.
* In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half.
* In 5 years your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.
* In 10 years your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
* In 15 years your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.


was good enough for me (: best of luck.
