Four weeks

That’s how long it’s been since I began this experiment with electronic cigarettes. Haven’t touched a regular cig since then, haven’t missed em and won’t go back to em.

Hooray for no more tar, ashtray stank and smoke wheeze!

Two weeks

That’s how long it’s been since I had an ‘analog’ cigarette. And I’ve started running again. Life is good.

From the ‘Duh!’ files

Had my first workout post-cigarettes and wow… Being able to breathe again makes a huge difference in the quality of the exercise (duh!). Was able to really push myself without feeling like I was going to pass out from lack of oxygen and (amazingly) felt quite good after I was done.

Been trying to become less of a couch potato for years now and I guess I underestimated the effects of cigs. Really not very bright on my part eh…

One week…

… and not a single ‘analog’ cigarette. Rock!

eCigs FTW!

So my new tasty ‘juice’ came in today and I’m 100% hooked. The flavor is worlds above the pre-filled carts I got with my 901 and it’s much, much smoother.

I haven’t had a cigarette now since the evening of the 8th, and I haven’t missed em in the least. My chest has cleared up significantly already, my energy levels are up and I can take deep breaths without a ‘catch’ again. Sure, I still have the nicotine monkey on my back, but losing the tar and other misc chemicals has been a huge win. I’ve also been able to deal with the daily stresses of my job without the normal withdrawal issues, matter of fact it’s been a bit easier since I can just reach over and take a puff during those long phone meetings.
