That's what I'm on now and I love it. I particularly love getting new liquids and trying all the different flavours, but I feel like a right p***k. I didn't even intend on quitting either. I started smoking late at around 20 but I loved it. Last year I turned 30 and my mate posted a rather comical card through my door a few days before my birthday. Inside the card there was a wee bag of grass and a note reading "you always said you would quit when you turned 30, but you didn't say anything about this". I had forgotten all about the 30 remark, but I thought I would go for it. I got patches and they worked a treat. I was off them for around a month but I wasn't enjoying it. I always enjoyed having a fag. I was never the type of person that would light a fag and go "I need to chuck this", so I went out and bought myself one. Cracking wee decision. I've been off them now for around 5 months and only had 1 fag. It was during a night out and my battery ran out. The guy I was out with smokes so I would go out with him whenever he went. I refused the first 4 or 5 times but I was getting a craving so I took one. I enjoyed it but the taste wasn't so great and it hasn't crossed my mind to have one since. What I have noticed though is I'm properly chugging away at my fake fag. I don't mind spending the money on the liquids because I do get enjoyment out of it, but I'm just worried I'm relying far too much on this thing. I still love the smell of the real thing. Walking past someone who's smoking... lovely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the health benefits don't bother you, it makes one hell of a difference to your bank account eh!Had the same situation with the e-cigarette running out of battery. Had a fag and after two draws I violently spewed all over Ashton Lane, absolutely disgusting.Thankfully it was a quiet Wednesday night so no one saw me apart from my pals! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I quit smoking five weeks ago. I've used the patches and the lozenges and I've never looked back. I had a cigarette on a night out a couple of weeks ago, but didn't enjoy it. Really can't see myself ever going back on the fags, just too expensive more than anything! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of a world is it we live in that a poor guy in his 20's can't even afford a recreational activity that will more than likely kill him from cancer?

You're a happy optimist today, Welshy I was talking to my 16 yo about smoking last night. His view is that none of his male friends smoke (and I can believe that having met many of them and most are rugby players) but the lassies do. How recent a phenomenon is this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
