Ok glad to see everyone keeping up the no smoking !
But let's be honest I must have gained 15 to 20 lbs in the 5 weeks since I started. Anybody else growing too ? I always loved to eat they say food taste better when you don't smoke or I am more likely reaching for those snack's to replace the nicotine urges.

Well in the long run better for us to quit the cigarettes now , May 2015 we might need eater's anonymous.

Keep up the good work everyone !

 One thing I can say is I'm trying to constantly eat everything in the house, but yea I've put a couple pounds on, but I always go up and down anyways.

 Started an elliptical a couple weeks ago and had a sciatica attack. Thats almost gone now so I'll get back into it.

 I love eating tasty foods, and now everything is even more tasty, so I'm eating more. Trying to stay away from junk foods. I'm thinking sweets will have to be banned from the house.


 Overall though, I will take a couple pounds over smoking.

Agree or disagree?

"Yet another study, this one from 2013, compared the devices' effectiveness to another common cessation product: nicotine patches. The researchers found that e-cigarettes (with or without nicotine) were "modestly" helpful for quitting. But, importantly, they were as helpful as the patches."

 8 weeks now cigarette free. Celebrated by buying the aspire atlantis tank, nice massive airflow. May need a bigger battery mod now too. Eleaf 30w is running it fine though, not sure of use time. Still cheaper than smoking analogs.
 
 Dropped down to 6mg nic level. Higher level nic was giving me a sore throat with the higher airflow since I modded my nautilus tank by enlarging an air hole on that for better flow.

 Also got away from the menthol flavoring, I think it was starting to give me heartburn. Straight up foo-foo flavors for me now. A day now with no menthol and no heartburn so far.

Guess I should update as well ...

This is day 10 for me without smoking the reel thing ( can't believe I just typed that ).   I decided to stop the cigs on March 26th ( my Daughters Birthday ) and haven't lit up since.

I'm doing 1/2 classic tobacco and 1/2 expresso ... A little over a tank a day... Found some Mango at a local shop that I switch too at night just to change things up a bit ..

So far so good !!!

 Getting close to hitting 6 months cigarette free.

 Since this past monday night, I have only used 3ml total of 1.5mg nic strength juice. Only been taking a hit here and there.

 I have been regularly vaping zero nic juice, and honestly it don't feel to bad.

Another mini update.

 I have been nicotine free since the evening of Aug the 11th.

 Have only been vaping zero nic juice, and my usage has cut down a little too.

 For those who like it, I have found a nice 50/50 lemonade ice tea mix its my only juice I vape now. Its by EvilEJuice, flavor called crowbar. Its 80vg/20pg

This is the longest I have been without smokes in over 20 years,, I hope I can keep with it, and as of right now I don't see how I could ever return.
