How do you feel without the cigarettes?

Wow, I wonder how I never got that specific smell on my clothes, how much did you smoked a day? Or at least, no one told me about that smell on me. However, more important than that would be the fact that you're actually healthier and your blood circulation is improved.

 

It's been like 7-8 months since I last used a cigarette. I'm feeling amazing now. My mouth, lungs, and friends are happy. My wallet is kind of happy, too.

 

When we are smokers we can never smell it and nobody will come up to you and tell you that you smell of smoke. Try and sit near someone that has had a cigarette and you will smell it. Even if they try to deny it you can still smell it.
I have noticed that I don't get pins and needles as often as I used to. So it most certainly has helped with my blood circulation.

 

I know that I can smoke other persons when they come back from smoking, but there are several people who told me the fact that I didn't used to smell of smoke, without me asking them. We were just talking about random person who smells a lot like smoke, and then "man, you used to smoke to, but you didn't smell".

 

I gave up smoking about a year ago now and I do not think I have ever felt better! I can take a full breath, I feel better in myself and I do not smell awful after smoking either, so anyway I look at it, its win win for me.

Vaping tastes so much better than smoking too, I use the custard flavours and I love it. I can never imagine going back to smoking after vaping for a year, plus I find it is a fraction of the price that smoking used to cost me. By making the change to vaping instead of smoking twenty a day, I can afford the holiday/vacation I want to go on!

 

I think it also has to do with the cigarettes, there are certain brands that smell more then others. I used to smoke Pall Mall sometimes and when ever I did people used point out to me that I smelt like tobacco. It could even be the first one of the day and people would still notice it 20 mins later.

 

Believe me, I also used to smoke Pall Mall, the toughest ones (black), they had like 10-8-10, yet people constantly told me that I did not smoke as bad as the person we talked about in our discussion (even though it wasn't the same person). My desk-mate would tell sometimes that I came from smoking, but that was it, even he said that I didn't used to smell as bad as some people do after smoking. It might also have a thing to do with the skin pH, probably somehow the smoke in contact with hair/skin, creates another smell, depending on our pH, can be a better or worse one.

 

I think it could be that, even though the Pall Mall blacks are menthol cigarettes and they could maybe cut down on the smell, I'm not sure. Since I didn't stick just to the one brand people didn't complain all the time. It was only certain cigarettes that used to leave a stronger smell.

 

Actually I don't miss them anymore. I have been vaping for so long that I can finally smell things again. For instance if a friend of mine offers me smoke I might take it but it definitely doesn't taste very good. Actually I have recently started to hate the smell of cigarettes and others smoking near me.

 

I started vaping 2 years ago. It was a very difficult transition though. I came out from hospitalization after my Gal bladder operation at during my stay at the hospital, I was not able to smoke for 3 days. That is when I decided to continue not smoking and just went to the mall and bought a pen type vape, which was very expensive that time. After 2 weeks of using the pen type and free of cigarettes, I noticed my breathing was better, my mouth did not smell bad compared to before when I smoked 2 packs a day.

 

Nope, I assure you I never smoked menthol cigarettes, here, in my country the blacks were the toughest one, maybe the colors differs from country to country I don't know about that, but they weren't even convertible.

 

Pretty bad because since I was in high school I got addicted to them pretty bad and now I smoke them for the most stupid reasons which are being a little bit stressed or being relatively bored and I know this shouldn't affect on whether I should smoke or not but it just does and I can't help it because it's so addicting once you spend a lot of your time/years smoking them non-stop-

 

To be honest I have noticed that, tobacco companies will do anything to get people hooked and if they find that people will be more attracted to some sort of packaging, they will use it. Pall Mall is only available in red and blue in my country but have seen that there are other colors available. The only black ones I have seen have been menthol, so a naturally assumed that the ones you smoked were menthol.

 

I feel much more refreshed every time I wake up in the morning and don't smoke. The cigarettes would just weigh me down, including my paycheck and health.

 

Good point, I also get higher quality sleep every night. My friends who still smokes, including my cousin, always seems to have problems when it comes about rest, I always hear them complaining about how tired they are, how they do not get enough sleep, and I'm like "hey I sleep even less than that, I go to the gym, and I still feel very relaxed". Then I realize how I get a much more quality sleep, because I can breathe properly, and then I realize what I have been doing to my body for years.
