Hello everyone. I have a little over seven months free of smoking. I smoked my last cig on a muggy evening last summer. Woke up the next day and just decided I was done. The first few weeks I really wanted to crawl out of my skin. I was beyond irritated with any and every little thing. That eventually passed.

Yesterday I was driving and saw a woman walking on the sidewalk smoking. I watched as the smoke flowed from her mouth and thought about how awful that taste is. I was one of those funny smokers. I couldn't stand how my hands smelled after smoking. My breath tasted icky and and I hated to empty my ashtray because I didn't like touching it because of the smell.

I have no desire to smoke again but I wont say that I wont ever do it again. Sometimes I do miss it. For now though, I'm a non smoker. And it feels pretty good.

I wish you all luck and continued support with your battle, however you choose to approach it/conquer it. It really does get easier with time.

Hi, Sparkles. I am curious about the above. Why do you say that for now you are a non-smoker? Is your goal not to remain smoke free for life?

Very interesting!

3 years and 2 days as a nicotine free non-smoker!

One of the two best things I ever did for myself...giving up other destructive chemicals was the other.

Keep the faith those who're still trying...you can do it if ya really want!

For those still unable to kick "the stinkies"...have you tried vaping (e-cigarettes)? I smoked since I was 15 and was up to 2 1/2 packs a day when I started vaping. I am 63 now and nothing ever worked, not the patch, not the gum, not the pills...nothing. Since starting to vape, I have not picked up a regular analog cigarette. A lot of the cigarette habit is the hand/mouth for a lot of us too. I believe that is why vaping has been so successful for me and many, many others

Smoking is not a habit, it is an addiction, and one that has a stronger hold on the user than some of the hardest drugs out there. Tobacco cigarettes have horrible ingredients including (but not limited to) over 4000 chemicals, 30 of which are known carcinogens, tar that coats ones lungs causing many, many health issues, and carbon monoxide. The one fairly benign ingredient found in tobacco cigarettes is the nicotine. Ironically, it is the nicotine that is addictive. In comparison to the other ingredients, nicotine is basically harmless. It is comparable to caffeine in that it is harmless, yet addictive, in small doses, but can be dangerous in large doses. Replacing smoking traditional cigarettes with vaping eliminates all those horrible ingredients while still delivering small doses of nicotine. The benefits are the same as quitting smoking cold turkey, yet the user still enjoys the physical act of smoking and doesn't experience any withdrawal symptoms. It is the individual user's preference, but one can indeed "step down" to smaller and smaller doses of nicotine until vaping 0 nicotine strength juice and thus, gradually eliminating the addiction. A freind on Face Book posted: Jill should be commended on her 3 months tobacco/smoke free and encouraged in her vaping quests. Keep it up Jill, you're doing great!!!"
