900 days since my last cigarette

[Fingerplucked]

Almost.  My QuitNow! app sent me a message saying it'd been 900 days.

I didn't tell my app about that day last year when I had about 4 hours of driving and my e-cig died so I picked up a pack of Marlboros to tide me over. And I didn't tell it about the 3 or 4 cigarettes that I had at work on days that I was bored and was trying to remember if cigarettes tasted better. (They don't.)  But aside from those rare exceptions, it's been 900 days.

And at the cost of cigarettes I entered two and a half years ago, I've saved $7,033. Well, less than that since I also didn't tell the app that e-cigs cost money too. The actual figure is probably around 75% of that.

The number of cigarettes not smoked now totals 22,505. Although if you count the exceptions noted above, that number is probably closer to 22,495.

The extra time I can expect to live for having quit is now up to 93 days, 18 hours and 30 seconds. Or a little less if you count the 10 cigarettes.


I could tell my app about the exceptions, but I'm afraid it'll get pissed at me and quit sending messages.

Good deal, FP. I reckon you can add a quality of life factor on top of the extra 93 days that makes it worth while.

[Fingerplucked]

I feel better. I smell better. I can ride my bike faster. Food tastes better, although depending on your POV, that can be a good thing or a bad thing. I can get away with vaping at my desk as long as I'm discreet and nobody actually sees me doing it. The smell won't give anything away. I haven't flown anywhere since quitting but I'm pretty sure I could get away with vaping in the airport or on a plane, although I'd probably have to go to the bathroom to do it on a plane. But when I'm shopping or in a movie theater, anywhere in public when I'm not directly in someone's line of sight, I vape at will.

Being a sneaky vaper is probably not what you were thinking of when you said quality of life, but as an ex-smoker who had to go outside for every cigarette, even at home, being able to vape without disrupting whatever I'm doing at the time and/or braving below freezing temperatures counts as an improvement.

[Deleted]

Why do you have to be so sneaky with your vaping? I've never been around anyone who uses one, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Seems to me it's WAY better that smoking.

I'm with you on why you are vaping I think. I tried all manner of ways to quit dipping. Nicotine patches were neat, if only because they caused some seriously strange dreams. Didn't do a thing to help me quit. The only thing that got me to quit was thinking I had cancer. Phew. Turned out I didn't, but I quit that day and haven't looked back.

I figure I'll start again when I'm 75. By that time, who cares? Everything else at 49 hurts anyway, so I figure at 75 I'm taking up any and all bad habits I kicked in the meantime.

[Marshall]

Damn good, old sport ! I was wondering how the vapers were doing. (Vapors?)

I'm proud of ya ! ! ! !

[Dub]

Jim, that's wonderful news. Keep up the good work.

[brucemacneill]

No real cigs since 7/15/2013 but I can't get off the e-cigs. I'm still mixing 6mg with 0mg liquid so I don't know that I'm getting much nicotine but psychologically knowing there's some nicotine keeps me going. I guess I don't really want to quit.

[Deleted]

Yeah, Bruce, but nicotine isn't what kills you, so keep it up.

[drlj]

Never smoke or had any desire to. All my friends used to smoke and I was the only one who did not. I just never got the appeal.
Never having had the habit, it is hard for me to understand just how hard quitting is, but I know it is difficult. My hat is off to anyone who kicks the habit and stays off the things.

[t-bob]

Congrats on no cigs! Fingerplucked!

I stopped 2/13/15. No cigs, no vaping, no patch, no nicotine gum...

[RickW]

Was one of the fortunate ones. We experimented a bunch as teenagers. Couple of friends started seriously. We all decided at the age of 19 to stop. Couple of guys didn't, couple of serious smokers did, and I haven't had anything but the occasional cigar since. I was right on the verge of getting the habit. Glad I avoided it.

Congrats Jim. It's a good achievement. Financially, it's a crazy habit. The taxes up here are so high, it's $20 a pack. It has been to high that at times there were more cigarettes being smuggled over the border than pot.

It is way better than smoking. Most, possibly all of the harmful chemicals, gasses and tars that occur with combustible tobacco are not present in e-cigarettes. Further long term testing is needed before being able to declare e-cigarettes completely safe, but anti-smoking activists tend to look at all of it as evil and see little distinction between smoking and vaping. Politicians look at vaping and see a potential new tax source. And in the press I keep seeing scare stories about e-cigarettes being a gateway drug to cigarettes for kids, never making the connection that without e-cigs, these are most likely the types of kids that would start smoking cigarettes, ignoring the health risks, the same as the kids before them over the last 50-some years have done. My own wife who was thrilled that I quit smoking and switched to e-cigarettes now believes that vaping is smoking. I tried explaining the difference between the two, but she wasn't buying it. Same with my father. A couple years ago he was proud that I had quit smoking. Now he says that I need to quit vaping, and doesn't see a big difference between smoking and vaping.  I'm not sure how that works. Maybe they thought that a switch from smoking to vaping meant that there would soon be a cessation of all nicotine, and now they're disappointed that I'm not following the program, one I never said that I intended to follow.

Why am I sneaky about it? I don't have a good way to screen people. I can't tell by looking at someone what they think about vaping. Some won't give it a second thought. Some will look at me and think that I'm a smart old guy because I obviously gave up tobacco. Some will look at me and think I'm polluting their air, and others will worry that I'm corrupting their children or their efforts to ban all nicotine products. But I can't tell who's who. So when I'm in public in any area where smoking is not allowed, I try to make sure no one sees me vaping.

I tried the 6mg/0mg mix for a while but went back to 6mg, which is still fairly low. For those who haven't tried e-cigarettes (don't worry Doug, I'm not talking about you), I started with a 24mg solution, which was less nicotine than you get with a regular cigarette and took a while to adjust to. I then went to 18, 12, and now 6mg. On the occasions that I've had a cigarette since then, the first thing I feel is dizzy. Then a little nauseous. Then there's that crappy taste in my mouth for the next few hours. And throughout it all are the promises to myself to never do it again.

I'm not really trying to quit e-cigs. I'm much better off with these than I was with cigarettes. I can live with that. Maybe somewhere down the road I'll get tired of this too and decide to quit altogether, but for now I'm happy with the way things are.

[Doug]

(don't worry Doug, I'm not talking about you)

I did try the disposable ones. And if I hadn't gotten my cigarettes down to ~ $4.00 a carton I'd probably change.  Smoking roll your own and buying tobacco without additives I've decreased nasty stuff by about 70% (the additives including formaldehyde).  It's approximately $4 because it depends on how we roll that day, sometimes we get 4 cartons a pound ($16.00) sometimes it's 4.5 and sometimes 3.5.  Can't beat those prices with ecigs.  After checking all the charts on quitting my cardiologist and I worked out that I will add 12 min to my life if I stop today, and because I've been smoking 59 yrs I'd be one of those who shock might bring on another heart attack. 

After smoking no additive cigarettes for so long if someone gives me a commercial cigarette it taste bad. 

[Fingerplucked]

Smoking roll your own and buying tobacco without additives I've decreased nasty stuff by about 70% (the additives including formaldehyde).

You're still getting thousands of gasses and chemicals, plus the tar. You haven't decreased nasty stuff by 70%. Not even close.

I'm not sure what additives are still being used. Those class action lawsuits curbed things like ammonia being added because it intensifies the immediacy of nicotine absorbtion, but I know others are still being used, like whatever it is that now self-extinguishes non-attended cigarettes to prevent fire hazards. Most of the harmful stuff is caused by combustion.

I tried rolling my own ten or fifteen years ago. It saved me a lot of money even back then when taxes were lower, but rolling was taking better than an hour a day. I wanted to smoke the things, not manufacture them.

Your doctor's advice might be good. Or not. If you quit today you'd feel a definite improvement in lung function by Monday or Tuesday, and you'd keep improving for months. Your risk for heart problems would decrease significantly over time. You might be too old to realize any reduction in cancer risk. The cancer risk improves only slowly and never gets down to the level of someone who never smoked. Your doctor is either giving you what he considers good medical advice based on your particular circumstances, or he's figured you for a lost cause.

Oh and disposable e-cigarettes are not the way to go. For most people they're going to be nothing more than an exercise of frustration.

If you ever give it any serious thought, try stopping in to a local vape shop. (Not a gas station and not a tobacco shop that also carries e-cigs.) Let the vape guys recommend a set up. They should have demo units (with lip/mouth protectors) that you can try, and they'll have a wide selection of flavors. They should have comfortable seating where you'll be able to relax and experiment as long as you like.

I'd have to drive over 100 miles one way to get to that kind of shop.    And I'm in a little city.  Our vape shops are just relabeled head shops. A lot more bongs than e-cigs.   And damn what they get for bongs these days some are as much as $300 and the cheap ones are in the $50 range.  Back in the day $1 in PVC and $2 in other parts and you were good to go. 

BTW a list of legal additives 599 of them down from over 10,000 in the olden days. Some of them many have been eliminated.  But it's still the truly nasty stuff.

Well fix it.

I was just joking. I wanted to make you go through the list. But my plan backfired and instead I wound up going through the list. I see a lot of flavorings, too many for any one particular brand. I also see a lot of chemicals that are not harmful. And I see a bunch that are a complete mystery to me.  You ought to list the source of the list, though. I think you're misrepresenting what you're posting.
