I have been smoking since I was 15 years old, and tried to vape for the past 5 years, although I did do 42 days in October 2016. I am now 37 going on 38 on October 6th.
I just wish I never started to smoke in my life, but it is what it is. I just wanted to quit smoking with something that would replace it. I did try the Patches back in 2008 and only lasted 2 days without.
Now my story goes something like this.
I took my first puff at the tender age of 13 and only had the one, then found some aged 14, smoked them, as there was only 11 in the packet it took me a few weeks to do so.
Then we moved and I purchased my first packet and smoked them taking in only 3 a day, it was bliss for me. Then mother found me smoking and have done ever since. It took about nearly a year for me to smoke a packet a day. And that is when the addiction to cigarettes became prominent.
But even when smoking at home I was still paranoid about people watching me smoking.
Now I have been paranoid ever since I was in about secondary school. And I do not know where it stemmed from. But I am a Paranoid Schizophrenic.
I have had this diagnosis since 2012.
Now when I first heard about vaping I was a little sceptical and did not know what it meant. Then one day when at the town centre with mother, I noticed a stall with some devices and read the claims. It was a cigalike stall or ego battery seller, I read the claims that one cartridge of a cigalike is equivalent to 1 packet of smokes. I tried one and coughed immediately afterwards, but not like I do now. This was back in 2013.
I bought a pack but no backup battery. I noticed that when I used it My smoking was declining and this lasted for a few days, from 27 a day I would smoke 6 a day. Then catastrophe, I needed to charge the battery and it was downhill from there as my smoking increased.
Then put that cigalike to one side. I tried again back in August 2015. And purchased a Cool Fire IV and Isub G tank, I purchased it on the whim after watching a review. I bought a backup battery in a different colour. And purchased some 18 mg/ml juice that was recommended. Waited for the juice to come and put it into the Isub G and blew my throat out.
Not knowing that it should at least had 6 or 3 mg/ml in that tank.
Then bought some more juice but this time for the iSub G. I went with a cheap brand as I could dispose of the item and would not have forked out a lot for juice, I went with peach.
Then over the course of a year and a bit done a few days here and there, until it was time to do StopTober, Now from the 5th October to the 14th November 2016 done 42 days without smoking, and I blame myself for smoking again as I had some juice in my tank and would not change it as it had no flavour at all.
Then the problems started with me making threads and vaping a few days till I smoked again, I have now been banned from that forum. The reason, constant trolling.
Up to now, I can do a day without and then smokes again to make up for the lost time.
I just want to quit smoking as it is not good for my health. As I have narrow airways of the throat, ever since I had a camera down my throat to check for ulcers in my stomach.
I will now start my journey to a better way of life not smoking, as I have been vaping since 12 PM (Without DST).
