From Smoking to Vaping and back to Smoking?

[dracu]

This is another thread I always wanted to post on some forum. I see all the banners about how many analogs that have been avoided and all the money saved. I would like to know about the other side of the coin where that does actually happen. I have three groups I would like to know about. The first group:

1. How many people have smoked for years and tried vaping and went right back to analogs. This might be a diffcult group to define for most of the people in this group most likely will not even be on ECF.

2, How many people who smoked and have gone onto vaping but still smoke a few analogs a day because they need that fix that analogs provide.

3. How many people have smoked and gone on to vaping and who never again smoked analogs.

Personally, I belong to the third group. The first time I used a pv, I never had an analog again. I think this is a very valid thread. Than you for reading.

PS...I know their must be some people who never had a analog and are vaping...I think that is crazy.

Vaped for 10 months no analogs, went back to analogs for 3 (major stress in life), back to vaping only again now its been about 3 months.

I am also in group 3 although it seems to get tougher for me instead of easier. I hope I stay in this group!

I'm with Holly group 3. I'm getting older, health concerns and the desire to live long enough to see any future grandkids was motivation enough for me. I started vaping and haven't looked back!

Group 3.

Having smoked for 30+ years I started vaping just over 2 months ago and haven't looked back since.

Group 3 but it took me almost a year to get there. I was in group 2 for a long time before I could get rid of those last couple. There's a thread on here somewhere of vapers who continue to smoke

Group 3 also. For the first month after getting my first kit, I was group 2. I'm happy to say I've been in group 3 now for over a year.

Group 3 and so far never looked back after a 36 year 1pk/day smoking habit. I'm enjoying the wide variety of flavors and devices too much I think.

After 30 years of 1 pad I am in group 3 for 4.5 years.

In 2011 I tried vaping, but I just couldn't get the equipment to work well enough to stop smoking cigarettes. Came back to it in August of this year and so far so good! I'm in group 3.

I'm borderline group 2 almost to group 3. There is an itch that vaping doesn't seem to scratch sometimes, so I've smoked three cigs over the last week. They really taste gross now though, after not smoking at all for over a week, so that cures me for a good while.

I am in a completely different group. I quit smoking with the patch and nic gum, but after being smoke free after 10 mos I still had very strong desires for an analog and was becoming quite irritable. So I decided to try an ecig and although the first brand(clayton) was not the best, it did work. Then I discovered ecf and was introduced to the real world of vaping and never crave analogs any longer. Money savings is a different story, lol. There is also a different thread somewhere that asks why members decide to become supporting members, and my answer to that is not only for the above statement, but also to continue to offer the support, encouragement, and information to others looking for an alternative to analogs. Sorry, this wasn't meant to be so long.

You can consider yourself in group 3.
It's fairly commonly known that patches and gum don't work well. What you've done is skipped the step of going back to cigs before finding ecigs. Most of us that have tried gums and patches have gone back to cigs before finding out about ecigs.

If you think about it, you're the lucky one!

I'm in group 2.5 I guess. Can't say a few a day nor never.

 

[diggyb]

I'm in group 3 and I hope I stay there. It hasn't been difficult so far.
