Quit smoking

[harv]

Forget about patches and e-cigs. Go old school and take the cold turkey approach. Works with smack lol

Blimey. 2014. That means I'm coming up on five years since I last had a cigarette 😎

It also means I've been on the e-cigs for considerably longer than I'd hoped, though. In fact rather than cutting back on it I recently upgraded to one of those jobbies that hipsters and dickheads use to create massive clouds of vapour.
Nobody's going to mistake me for a hipster so I guess I'm the other option 😡😂

Oh dear,

I did 2 years quitting, went to Vegas on my stag, smoked about 120 in 4 days and then didn't stop again for another 2 years, doh.   Back on the vapes now (the more discreet normal e-cigs which don't make me look like a dickhead)

I've never understood why people start smoking in the first place? Peer pressure at school I guess?

I never smoked when I was a kid because I couldn't stand the smell.

I was a long time out of school when I started smoking. About 21/22 I think.

Thought it was cool.

I'm a moron.

What is the device you have Late?

I've been using the 10motives e-cigs since the first time I gave up.. but recently they changed the pack size from 5 filters to 4 filters and I've noticed recently that the filters don't really last that long anymore - I can easily get through one a day now and they are supposedly 25 ciggies per filter - that's just bollocks... I've seen a number of reviews on them saying the same thing - I might as well just start smoking again - its cheaper lol.

I did buy a new e-cig system called VapourV2 after reading reviews online - and I bought the sample pack as they have 4 tobacco flavours.. the filters do seem to last longer although I still got through the first one in a day too... the flavours are nowhere near as good as the 10motives though.

So I've bought 40 10motive filters for £50 online - I think it could be time to pack it in after I get through these.

I'm using a Smok E-Priv.

The coils I'm using are about £3.50-£4.00 each and last me about a fortnight. Battery is good - I get about two days between charges.
It's rather heavy and bulky though.

I hate to think how much damage I've done to myself when I was working in that rock pub. Easily a few hundred in the pub every day, it was the busiest pub in North London at the time and the only ventilation was having the doors open

You could hardly see sometimes for the smoke.

Hopefully my lungs have repaired themselves over the years since I worked there but I do worry that I've done myself some irreparable damage due to working in that sort of environment for over 10 years
