POLL How long did it take you to stop smoking?

I stopped the day my jac vapour 650mah vv battery and vivi nova arrived 3 1/4 years ago never looked back.

Popped into a vape shop and tried a sub ohm mod, I turned to the Mrs and said I'd never smoke again. It's only been a fortnight but it's been so much easier than I ever thought it could be, or it has been when I've tried in the past.

I've not had any tobacco for just under 2 months now and I reckon I can say I'll never smoke again. This is the longest I've not smoked for in 7 years and I feel great for it. Cigarettes smell worse and worse to me by the day now.

The first day of vaping I knew I didn't need to smoke anymore - vaping tastes better, smells better, doesn't dry out your mouth and my smokers cough is quickly disappearing!

had been thinking about giving up , then one day when i was skint i was standing in the queue to buy twenty fags with my last 10 quid and another week til payday , and i just thought what the fuck am i doing ? had a ego at home that i had never used so thought fuck it , its time to have a go at giving up . havent touched one since .

Lucky for me i've always been able to pick them up and put them back down but i always enjoyed smoking but wasn't the biggest fan of the taste/smell so vaping seemed like a perfect alternative for me.

I remember feeling so apprehensive about swapping to an e-cig, but after a day of using both, I just quit the cigarettes and that was two and a half years ago. I don't intend on smoking again and I haven't been tempted to smoke

Was a 10 a day smoker in the week. At least double that if I was down the pub on a weekend. Once I got myself an innokin pen I didn't have another cigarette and that's been almost a year now and I really don't miss them at all. Even when out with my mates down the pub who all smoke a lot

I found this a really comforting thread.
I'd read and heard all these stories about people giving up cigarettes the same day they started vaping and been hugely inspired.....quickly followed by depression after trying a bunch of cig-a-likes and not feeling a damn thing and going back to the fags with my tail between my legs. (I'm 20-30 per day smoker)

I'm trying again now with a little step up to a Kangertech Subvod, and whilst it's not in the same league as those big box mods, it is a huge difference from the cig-a-likes (at least for me) and I'm already cutting down the cigs.

So, to those of you who gave up fags within hours/days of vaping, I doff my cap and offer you my congratulations. To those of you who took months to quit I offer my thanks to learn that it's not just me who didn't instantly 'see the light' and convert fully.

I haven't touched the baccy since starting vaping approx 4 weeks ago. I must admit I do crave one every now and again though
