As someone who lost both parents due to smoking related issues...Thank you for making the change. Anyone who quits has my deepest respect

Best of luck and best wishes!

I saved my date, and I just hit 13 weeks. I love my itastevv vape machine, and I treat myself to all sorts of yummy ejuices. I vape my dessert, instead of the usual weight gain that occurs when quitting cigs.

Warning, you will still get occasional strong urges, but these will become less frequent as time goes by.

After another few months you may start to realise flowers, food your best beloved smell better than when on the coughing nails.

I need to do what you've done and you're an inspiration for me!

Can you smell things better now or taste food better?

I quit smoking on July 9, 1992 at 8:01 AM. I know exactly how long it's been and how hard it was.

Not that you asked for tips or suggestions, having made three failed attempts to quit prior to quitting for good, I learned an invaluable lesson I'd like to pass along to you -- never take a single drag on a cigarette for the rest of your life. Never. Ever. No matter what the circumstances. Sheer elation or the depths of despair. Intense nervousness. You will be tested. And no matter what comes your way, never, ever take a single drag for the rest of your life.

This advice comes from a guy who, prior to finally quitting for good, had quit for four months, just had one smoke while out drinking, and was back to two packs a day within a week. And it took me over two years to try again.

It does get easier, but it takes a long time. Hang in there, and good luck!

You are now an ex-smoker.

Pretty soon, you'll be a non-smoker.

Quitting smoking was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. You make it 8 weeks, you are very close to the end of any significant cravings (at least from my experience).

At some point smoking will be a long distant memory. You'll ask yourself "why the hell did I do that?"

I am on half nicotine level on the pen and plan to taper off at 3 milligrams a month till I am down to zero. No cigarette cravings yet except for the big storm here when water starting coming into the house. That was my "under extreme stress" test I think and I made it through without caving.
