It'll be the toughest trip you ever make but if you need support I'm with you all the way . I know because I did it . I have not smoked tobacco for 14 years and it can be done . Nicotine addiction is tougher than heroin to break . I quit using Nicorette patches . Worked for me get your doctor to help you . I got the patch for free so I lucked out . Lots have done it cold turkey equally tough don't try to kid yourself that your not an addict because you are and once you face that reality your on your way . Lecture over and Good Luck .
9Bear, thanks for the encouragement! I have a feeling it's going to be a long, tough road to reverse 50 yrs. of smoking. You want to see an interesting smoking fact.....I just figured this out.....it's not exact but close enough to really freak me out...I figure I have probably averaged about a pack a day smoking over 50 yrs. There are 20 cigs in a pack, so 20x365=7,300 cigs a yr, then 7,300x50=365,000 lifetime cigs if my math is correct!! 365,000!!!!!!!!! Shit, when you think about it this way, it's a wonder I have any lungs left. Not to mention the money involved. They were much, much cheaper back in the day, but still........They are close to $5US a pack here.....30x$5=$150 month......$150x12mths=$1800 a yr I could spend on much more fun and important things! Blows the mind!

Thinking about how much I smoked over the 25 years makes me sick now. Lots of money wasted that I could've spent more wisely. I was anywhere from 2-3 packs a day. I went to vaping (7yrs now) which helped me quit the habit, it might be a crutch as it still looks like I'm smoking but last xray of my lungs shows they are like new with no damage.

Same here pal, went from 20 odd years smoking 2 packs a day to stopping dead when i picked up a ecig 3 years ago. Was thanks to a old member here @Alwaysautos where ever he may be.

Am in the process of setting up a a vaping shop with the misses, still a few months off yet till work will be finished but looking forward to helping a few more kick the stinkies.

Forgive my ignorance, but don't e-cigs contain nicotine also?

Awesome, I have a couple friends that own their own shops. I wish you the best when you get your shop going. I'm due to get a new mod as the one I'm using is 4 years old now. But as long as it's working I'm happy.

They do contain nicotine but they also make ejuice with no nicotine. It just doesn't have all the other chemicals normally found in regular cigs. Most start out with 12mg and work their way down to 0mg. Then it's your choice if you quit vaping all together or continue with 0mg juice.
