Cigarettes

There's much better things to smoke.

Contrary to what the vape sellers would have you think - No!

Sorry but there's no such thing as safe daily inhalations of smoke of any kind...no matter how 'nice' it smells or tastes

Smoked for nigh on 40 years.
Packed them in 3 weeks ago, spur of the moment thing after coughing my arsehole up as I was about to light another one. Stuck it back in the box, went the shop over the road and bought a disposable vape thing.


Not lit one since and hopefully never will again

Now work on ditching the vape mate

Barely using it now.

Thoughts?

I started when 16 casually smoking with mates, smoked then for 3-4 years all time time. By 22 cut it down to just social smoking - has vent been able to give that up 7 years since.

Horrible but nothing better than a fag in the sun with an ale.

What I can’t stand is those nobheads that never touched fags who vape. Just want a wee puff of there pina colada sour cherry elfbar - proper schofield behaviour

Call me big Phillip

You don't smoke vapes my friend; its inhalation of vapour ‐ no combustion.

Better things to smoke than ciggies ‐ cheese, mackerel, salmon, ham and crack cocaine.

Smoking is to smoke
Vaping is to vapour.

Big difference.

Vapes helped me quit smoking 20 ciggies every night out. Had to stop vapes after smoking them too much with home working and feeling like someone was standing on my chest.

Was just using a fairly cheap blu vape thing, not sure if better quality ones have less side effects.

It’s not so much about quality as the amount of nicotine in the liquid. The disposables tend to have very high nicotine content, and if you were to chain vape one of those, you would soon feel the effects (essentially, an ‘overdose’). The liquid is also thinner with more PG than VG. Again, in large quantities, that would be likely to give you a sore throat and a tight chest. The hobbyist stuff tends to focus on thicker liquids with far less nicotine.

Why vape when you can snort coke?

Baffles me

Quit years ago purely down to having a constant cough, was on 20 a day. Vapes had just come out, glued to them for about 6 months but the cough and chest was far worse so quit that. Bought one of those nicorette sticks / inhalers, done the trick perfectly, done about a month on that and stoped all nicotine. Just addicted to bacon and sausage butties now lol

Of course you would think this, sir.

Started smoking around age 15-16 and quit at age 26. Since then have hardly smoked apart from the odd one here and there when drunk. Weirdly, even though I was smoking 20 a day by the time I quit (more if drinking too), I now find cigs disgusting. Don't like being around people when they're smoking, don't like the smell and the thought of inhaling it into my lungs disgusts me.

I gave up with the Allen Carr book. Would recommend that to anyone who wants to quit

Seen alot of people reccomend that book
Is it that effective yeah?

Tried it once, when I was 10 to impress the new girl in school. Coughed lungs up, she laughed at me.
I went home, proper down, told my mum.
Never smoked since. Honestly, had more sense when I was 10 than I've ever had since. Especially where women are concerned.
