DR ◣◢ Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 5 years +- since I lit a cigarette. I used the ecigs to quit and that will be the next thing to go. Even if it is the better option it still puts nicotine into my system that ramps up my heart rate too much. I'm very sensitive to nic. That is the next challenge over the next few weeks. karma 1
MariusC Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 I have been vaping for almost 6years nowFeel alot better than I did when smoking when cycling and during the dayI need to kick that habit but it almost feels more difficult than quiting smoking Mojoman 1

I believe it saved me from early heart problems or worse. You do have a point there. It kinda feels more difficult. It definitely isn't from a physical point of view since nicotine itself isn't the most addictive substance on it's own. Cigarette companies add additional chemicals to enhance the effectiveness of nicotine which makes it more addictive. Vaping doesnt have that. Maybe it is just a harder psychological barrier to break.

My boss used one in the factory so I took a chance and did the same.... BUT because it was so nice I found myself smoking more and more on the vape AND still on the ciggies... This is the ONLY time EVER I will thank the ANC for something....banning smokes and helping me quit 2 months ago! fanievb 1
Robbie Stewart Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Last cigarette I smoked was in 1997. I have not missed them a day since then. fanievb 1
Pieter1 Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Well done guys. I could never get used to the vape thing. To me it looks odd and it made me cough a poef house full after one drag.

Psychological barrier and its sort of become a hobbyAre you Johan btw? use to be Sir Maxxis?
DR ◣◢ Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Psychological barrier and its sort of become a hobbyAre you Johan btw? use to be Sir Maxxis? That is me indeed. Took a leave of absence from the forum The hobby part is very real. I turned that hobby into a full blown vape shop. Sold my shop in 2018 though.
Kranswurm Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Just stopped smoking about a year ago and never craved a smoke since.strangely easy.Cannot stand that vaping.it makes me cough if someone does it in the same room as me.Never been tempted to try it
Mojoman Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 Anyone else using the lockdown period to quit the smokes? I'm on day 2 now...cold chicken.... Was offered a pack of Swahil (or some sketchy brand) when I went to the shops the other day...Was a bit weird, the guy had a long jacket on and whistled for me, when I looked his way he opened up the jacket and had packets of smokes in there! I though he was going to flash me or something dodgy! Anyway, R50 for a packet of crappy dry smokes!Time to try and quit...Again...!Lol...thought it was about a year...Sort of forgot/not forgot about smoking over the last 365 odd days. Having a smoking friend get a stent earlier this year also helped keep me smoke free...Stupidly, and sadly he still smokes though... On to Year Two.... ChrisF and shova1 2
Wimmas Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 Smoked for 10 years from age 17 to 27. Stopped through vaping and still vape to this day 4 years later. More of a hobby now than anything else as the nicotine content in my juices are so low. Never crave nicotine anymore. Feel great and performance on the bike has improved ten fold. Never feel anything wrong with my chest. Most of my cycling mates do not know I am an ex-smoker. Steady Spin and Mojoman 2
Arrie Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 I'm 4 years without smoking now and have not substituted it with anything. I actually started cycling because I gave up smoking and never looked back. Mojoman, ChrisF and Help.Me. 3

That was my experience....They do smell nice though!
