Almost 3 weeks a non smker now. Loving it!

Parrothead, that is fantastic! Congratulations, and to the wife too.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Parrothead! You have done yourselves a really big favor.
When I gave up smoking, I just kept reminding myself of all the things I had always disliked about smoking. I also ate about a thousand pounds of sugarless candy.
Keep it up. It's great that the two of you are doing it together. You have a buddy system.

Good for you Parrot! Out of all the things in my checkered past I have given up, I think smoking was the most difficult. Although I quit smoking about 15 years ago I am intrigued by vaping, just too cheap to buy the setup.

KUDOS to ya PH!! quit for 10 yrs and picked the things back up. Older kids are trying to get me into vaping. Guess I need to breakdown and get it. and just ... do it.

we may need to start a 12step meeting and vapors club ;-)

Awesome! I wish you continued success and hopefully at some point you will even be able to stop vaping. As you can probably tell from my screen name and avatar I have a "special" hatred toward smoking. This is because it claimed the life of perhaps the most influential person in my life, my grandfather. I watched his health deteriorate with COPD and ultimately lung cancer and he was never able to kick the habit.

Well played sir. Are you guys using the cig looking ones? or the small pipeish ones? There is a store that just opened by my favorite pizza spot, called teh vapor shack an they do a good business. Every time I see someone with the pipe looking one, I have to do a double take as they look like metal pot pipes! Ha ha.

I smoke, not much but some. I've always said one can't quit a bad habit, till they are ready to, no matter how much *****ing, yelling, cajoling, etc someone does to them. Whether it be smoking, drinking, drugs, etc.. One has to want to quit. Good for you buddy for doing so. My Nana is a smoker, an it amazes me she can just stop cold turkey whenever she wants.

Anyhow, my congrats to you an Mrs parrothead. Keep it up!

Sirscrapalot - No quotes for this morning, sorry.

awesome Parrot. I know the lady who owns an runs the Vapor Shack here. She tells me the same for the cig looking ones. Glad to have it confirmed by another. An yes the flavors seem to be a big hit. she is always busy an the only place that sells something other then the e cig looking ones. I've got a standing invite with her to come try them anytime. I still get a chuckle when I see someone with the pipe ones. I'm not the only one who has to do a double take.

Stay strong!

Sirscrapalot -

Congrats Parrothead! I've been using mine, on and off, for the past week or so. The tobacco "juice" flavor I got is horrible, so I'm going to try the Marlboro flavor and see if that is any better. My girlfriend has been using hers since October and loves it. She quit smoking for me, so I figured It was time I did the same. Best of luck to you with keeping at it. Not sure what flavors you would be into, but a friend of mine got one called "papa smurf", I know its an amusing name of a flavor, but its actually really good. Reminds me of the berries in captain crunch cereal.

Good job Parrot! My grandmother died of lung cancer, her last words to me - "please don't ever smoke". She had a great sense of humor, told me also it will "stunt your growth". She told me this in the hospital and died two days later. I grew to be known as "BIGBURT". Not smoking is good for all us, even better if you can influence our younger ones not to ever start!

Congrats parrot! I myself quit three years ago and it was the best decision I ever made concerning my health.
The first week just sucked but then it gets better and you notice how things greatly improve with sense of taste and smell.
