Today I am one year and 6 days off of cigarettes. I have had no cravings for them and the transition from cigarettes to e-cigs was surprisingly easy. I still use e-cigarettes even though I use no nicotine because it was the act of smoking, the habit of having that to reach for, that has been my trouble with quitting cigarettes using any other type of quitting option. (Patches worn while chewing gum and still I smoked. Hypnosis while wearing the patch and chewing many pieces of gum and I still smoked. My PCP refuses to prescribe Chantix as in her opinion it is the most dangerous prescription drug of the market. She fully supports e-cigs and has gathered a great deal of info showing them to be far less harm than cigarettes. She is trying to get all of her smoking patients to go on e-cigs to get them off cigarettes.) The flavors of the e-juice was incredibly important to me staying quit as well. If I had tried to vape something that tried to taste like the nasty cigarettes I gave up I would have been sickened by the e-juice and gone back to smoking. Flavors like cinnamon rolls, watermelon and whipped cream, and sweet tarts made me realize that with vaping I can have lovely tasting treats all day long without eating the actual sugary treats. I can eat healthily and vape candy all day if I want. Taking away these flavors will end a lot of people’s ability to stay off cigarettes as the flavors are now what I crave not smoke and nicotine. This milestone of over a year quit from cigarettes is only possible due to the different types of devices I use (re-buildable tanks containing liquid e-juice on batteries that I refill myself and maintain.) It is a hobby now, and very fun learning all of the uses for everything to give me the best vapor and flavor production. All of my equipment if outlawed tomorrow I could still use and maintain. I have never used cig-a-likes or any prefilled e-cig configuration and never will. If e-cigs are banned I will continue to vape regardless. I and many others can acquire everything necessary to make e-juice. The gates are open and we will not allow them to close. I will NEVER smoke again, though I may vape for the rest of my life. Tread carefully into this unknown territory as the natives are well armed with experience and determination. (And if you ban my type of flavors for e-juice then you should ban all flavored alcohol and adult vitamins in chewy fruit flavors as those are just as easily obtained and abused by children.)
