They say try and try again, but is it worth it.

For a long time now I have been struggling to quit smoking, and it is mainly due to my part, but sometimes when I am writing on other forum about quitting, I am either being ignore or just liking the post, some of the comments do bode with me.

But since I have not got a real social life and I mainly spend my time on my computer or watching television. I would like more comment to be made so I can have a standard conversation with other like minded fellow vapers.

I started my vaping journey with a cigalike and wanted more. But since I did not have that much will power within me during them early day. I only surmounted doing 42 days back in October to November of 2016.

It is now 2026 and I need to pull my finger out and just get on with it.

I had either went into it too fast and bought a load of stuff costing an arm and a leg. Or just did not have the heart in it anymore.

But since last year I have been enjoying disposables, and see their simplicity. That is why I Have only had a fraction of what I would have smoked, yet I did have time to smoke and did, but always returned to vaping.

I am Quitting Yet again on the 19th of May 2026, and I will never touch another cigarette if it kills me, as they are starting to do just that after the initial puff to the end of it, I just cough my lungs up.

So NOW I will re-begin my Journey.

Try and Try yet again

Since I thought I may be able to break my duck and only vape, I was wrong, as no matter how long I go without smoking, I feel I am always destined to smoke. But I know for sure that that is not the case. As the longest I had abstained for was 42 days straight without thinking about smoking, but it was only that I could not taste my juice, that I had relapsed into smoking. Due to me still having some left from last time. But that was years ago and about to be 10 years in October….

I have been trying to quit smoking for over 10 years. But since I only do a day or two since April of last year. I find that I am vaping more than smoking since then.

I will say this though, I just wish I never return to smoking in any shape or form. Just to vape and vape more when the cravings come.

Hopefully this will be my last ever try, and stay Quit for good.

Hi all, its been a while since I last spoke to you. And I have been making tremendous efforts in my quitting the cigarettes. The maximum lately has been 3 weeks without smoking, and that has been done numerous times since I started last year in April.

I would have done more but we had our windows smashed by the next door neighbour, yet until recently I have passed the 3 weeks mark.

I Quit smoking on the 19th of January at 12 PM mid afternoon, this year.

So hopefully this with be my last try and stay smoke free for ever.

For the umpteenth time!

Hello all, long time since I last updated this blog, but here goes, I just cannot get passed the 3 week mark, as I tend to have a cigarette to celebrate my achievement. But in saying this I find myself at a loss, as I would normally do about a week without smoking and then when I have a cigarette, I follow that up by having more.

I am stupid in thinking that I can have just the one, when I was doing so well. This then leads to me having about a packet or more during the following days.

I will one day find that I can last a year or longer without smoking. But for the time being, I have done more weeks without smoking than smoking itself.

So I will continue my journey in trying to be a none smoker and to prove to myself that I can live without smoking for the long run in and to never ever put one to my lips again.

Why am I stupid sometimes.

For the best part of a few months, I have been abstinent from smoking for the majority of the months that I had been Vaping.

But for some apparent reason, I still fall foul of smoking just for the necessity of smoking to get a quick fix of nicotine.

I have also racked up many weeks without smoking, but once I have one, I have another and another, and it becomes endless, with just having one becoming a complete packet and more.

I want to state that I will no longer go back to smoking shortly.

I also had some trouble with the next-door neighbour, who smashed two panes of glass on Tuesday, June 10th, at around 7:30 pm.

During this time, I had done 5 weeks, but I had one on Saturday and smoked until Monday Morning.

But this week I started to smoke on Tuesday and did until Sunday Morning.

So, My New Date for quitting is July 6, 2025, at 00:00:00.

I’m now classed as a none Smoker.

Since quitting on the 1st of april, I thought I could quit and still have one now and then. But I was wrong so then my next plan was the 14th.

i had then made 6 weeks. And only needed to get over Sunday to beat my best abstinence from smoking

I then had one cig and then proceeded to smoke a further 40 on the 25th of may.

so I would have been into my ninth week but instead I am into my third week yet again.

Story cut short……

If you feel a craving just vape.

It’s a long time comming

For the past 3 months, I have been Vaping for many days, then going back to smoking, as the furthest I have done is 5 days 11 hours.

This is not due to vaping being inadequate but to my own necessity of having just one. Then that leads to another and another.

Overall, I Quit again on the 3rd of March 2025 @ 4 PM or 16:00 hours.

Mainly due to my coughing fits, but I like the taste of flavours more than burning tobacco.

Soon to be?

During the coming months I will be Vaping Indefinitely, as I need to have Nicotine in my system.

The reason being is that no matter how many cigs I have, I find myself passing out more often, and frequently. Ok I still do this on the vape, but it is in no way worser than smoking, and only pass out when starting from scratch.

My Journey Starts NOW!!!!

Over the past 2 months, I have been enjoying both vaping and smoking, but the former mostly. As I have reduced the amount I have been smoking. Aswell as doing 2-5 days on an average week.

My smoking has reduced significantly and when I do smoke, I initially regret doing so. But since Vaping, I still cough, but not as much as I would when smoking.

I now would like to say that I have smoked 1/3 of last month. And still hoping to reduce further, even if I am vaping.

I had my last puff of an actual cigarette just before the end of January 2025 at midnight.

So now my journey starts when vaping for the 1st of February 2025.

I will beat this addiction to smoking, with me trying again to Quit.

Since my last post, I had lasted nearly 5 days without smoking. But, had smoked over a week.

Now I am about to go into my 4th day in about 4 hours time.

I have already done 2 days and 20 hours and 25 minutes so far.

But what I am lacking is my will power for starters, I will need to keep myself busy doing some stuff, without the need to clock watch.

I will start now. But I did Quit again as of the 14th of January 2024 @ 00:00:00 Midnight.
