I don't know if I officially count as having 'quit', but tomorrow I have marked off as 28days. I question because I switched to ecig in lieu of a complete cold turkey, had tried the patch before and there is gum in my home. I did use the buddy system on this one. Did read that at least in switching I've reduced all those health risks by 95%, it's just there lacks long term studies. It's considered a "reduction" as opposed to "cessation", apparently. It's nice to still smell the fabric softener on my clothes. Have felt that first wow moment financially when opening my bank account online. I even calculated that with at least a switch over a years time, there's 3 months rent. I waited to finish the work year, was worried about withdrawal on the job. My quit buddy worried about family history of cpod. In the switch I'm learning more about nicotine as a lone substance. So, at least I'm off tobacco and the chemicals in a packaged cigarette. I was gentle with myself in that I tapered off to begin. Allowed myself a rationed amount until now I cannot stand the taste of it whatsoever. It's been a couple of weeks since that moment. I'm using a menthol ecig. Not going to try flavored luiquids as menthol and tobacco are the only flavors scientifically shown to not contain a chemical that can cause popcorn lung. So for right now, this is where I am at.
