Threw my vaporiser in the bin last night.

DesVegas

I felt I was relying on it a bit too much.

This should be fun.

Good for you mate, throw off the shackles.

DesVegas

That's right JB, that's exactly how it feels.

Best of luck mate - cold turkey is worth it when you get out the other side.

I substituted Extra Strong mints for fags when I gave up in 2007, I probably ate half their production at one point, especially when driving.

Good for you - it sometimes seems like too permanent a ciggie substitute, instead of just being a transitional aid

DesVegas

Cheers chaps, 'should' be a damn sight easier to forget about than the cigs.  We shall see.

Psychologists would have you believe that all of these items are nipple substitutes. Logically, the obvious solution is to go back on the teat.

They are useful as a 2x10 cab even if you don't like the amp that much, seems a waste

I gave up years ago, still need a constant supply of sugar free gum in the car.  it stops me hurting people.

Edit - And I quoted the wrong person : ) pretend I quoted @Nitefly ;

I found I felt much worse with the vape. It hurt my throat and lungs.

I'm sure those things are just as dangerous as traditional cigarettes

It might be easier than you think. I finally ran out of my 3.6% vape liquid and have to get by on the 1.8% now. I don't notice any difference.

Sassafras

Should help your dustman get off the fags.

I certainly feel a right tit sucking on it in the street. Maybe this would work -

It really is, I vaped for a year or so then stopped no worries.
But you can't just have the occasional vape, it's grim if you don't do it all the time.

So I have the odd ciggy when I'm out.

Hasn't turned me back to a pack of rizlas a day like I was before though.

Good on you Des, vape is much easier to quit then smoke was.

DesVegas

Good to hear Dave, feeling confident now

Good on you, we're currently looking to replace one of our singers since he swapped his moderate smoking habit for an incessant vape habit. 

We've actually had to drop certain songs from the set because he can't hit the notes any more.

I think a lot of scary info about the health risks of vaping is going to come out in the next 5-10 years. 

Strangefan

I have been 3 days off the vape, im not goons lie I miss it, I would only vape in the car... Which now makes journeys that extra bit harder.... However having a big box of Maltese rs has really helped. 

pintspiller

Vaping may help people get off the fags, but it's like replacing one addiction with another to be honest.

DesVegas

I agree pint which is why I dumped it. It's been 4 or 5 days and I've had the odd urge for a smoke but then I just take a deep breath and feel the clean air going in and it soon goes away (so far)
