Quit Smoking and Started Using A Vaporizer

[corky52]

When I started planning to cut loose and looked at the money numbers, my two pack a day cigarette habit had to go! I have tried to quit many, many times before and NOTHING worked. I decided to try a vaporizer and so far it's seems to be working. 8.5 months and in that time I've smoked 46 cigarettes.

The fluid I use costs me about $30 a month and parts for the vaporizer add another $6 to $10 a month. I'm still a nicotine addict, but I feel much better without all the other stuff I got in the smoke.

congratulations on doing your best to quit.

Good for you. To try your best and accomplish that much is better than not trying at all. Yes, its surprising how little things can add up. Its really bad when you look at a lifetime of it.

$6.00 per day for 50 years equals $108,000.00

$6.00 Per day for 50 years at 1 percent interest equals $139,877.00
2 percent interest $184,360.00
3 percent interest $264,973.00
5 percent interest $462,463.00

They say the stock market has historically produced a 10 percent return. Sure that depends on what years you got in and got out but just to put it in numbers, $6,00 a day at 10 percent return would add up to $2,672,286.75

With those numbers my 45 years of 2 packs a day would put me in fat city. Oh well, I did what I did and that's the way it goes.
Glad I quit cigs 4 1/2 yrs ago, anyway.

Good for you! Now steel yourself to quit. It ain't easy. After many failed attempts, I have not smoked for 14 years. I still want a smoke.

That's right, Zil, the craving doesn't go away. You just have to learn to ignore it. I gained a jelly bean addiction, LOL.

Current plan is to stay with the vaporizer for a while and reduce the nicotine level of the fluids. I'm not ready to quit completely yet. Expense reduction was the goal and I've gotten that!

I thing the oral habit is as bad to beat as the drug addiction part. For a while i substituted beer and ended up 210 from 155. pounds that is.

What am I doing wrong?? I eat fatty foods and drink plenty of beer, yet I can't get over 140# At 6' tall I look like a beanpole, LOL.
