Moving up

[prepareathome]

Amazingly since I stopped I have not been around anyone that does, even out side the shops no one is there smoking - usually lots of people, but then has been cold or raining. Nothing would make me touch one, well not unless I had nothing to vape for a couple of days then craving for nicotine might get me, but as I know can get a disposable at Tescos and someone mentioned Esso garages sell Jasper and Jaspers - so I would try these and other places before I touched one. Will be interesting to see how I do find the smell when I do actually see a smoker around.

I have got an unwashed ashtray wrapped in a plastic bag and shoved in a cupboard ready to bring out if I really feel I am going to break and go and buy some, but not needed to go near it yet and don't fancy opening up the bag, thought actually turns my stomach but I think I will leave it there a while longer then one day hopefully will throw it out still wrapped in the bag.
My doctor thought its great I am a non-smoker ( her words) and thinks e-cig is a great way to stop. She admitted she doesn't know much about them but feels they must be better than nasties so is very pleased with me.

Got my fruit bushes in and what is so good is not stopping to have a nastie break in the middle of doing things, it really used to annoy me having to stop to smoke but I always gave into the need, yet never thinking well just do not have one, its was like I was hypnotised, it called and I smoked it. You look back and think how did you let those white sticks control you all those years. Yet I never feel my e-cig is doing that, I vape when I sit down and relax don't stop to do so.

Well today I saw two people who were smoking, the first walked past me and all I could think of was should I tell her about e-cigs, the second was actually having a last drag then putting it out in the ashtray before she went in Sainsburys. She looked up and smiled at me, total stranger but oh boy it took all my self-restraint not to go up to her and say about e-cigs, I actually found my hand was going into my bag to get mine when she walked into the store. The smell well must admit I never even noticed it its been a beautiful sunny day here with a bit of a warm breeze so I only presume it was blown away from me or as yet I still class it as normal, but not even for a second did I wish it was me having nastie, it really amazed me, literally all that was in my mind was they need to know about e-cigs.......told hubby and he just cracked up with laughter at that

I find I put one in my bag when I go out same as I did with the nasties but never actually feel the need to use it when out ( ok not been out much since going on them and never for long just to shops and back ). I do still get the cravings for a nastie but thankfully they are slowly becoming less and less. What I do love is if out in garden and craving hits can just grab my Riva or whatever I have brought down with me and take a couple of vapes and carry on doing whatever I am busy with. I used to get so annoyed when I had the craving and 'had' to light up a nastie then of course smoke the whole thing, it was such a waste of time and usually didn't want the whole thing but of course 'had' to smoke it didn't I.

I found in a charity shop today for £2.50 a set of stackable tray which holds all my e-cig bits and bobs perfectly, up till now had them all in a medical box and had to dig around for what I wanted, this is least is better, not perfect but for the price considering its brand new not complaining, can just throw a small scarf over it to keep out the light. I can just see at a glance which tray I want and slide it out so much easier than before.

What a fantastic find Prep!

Great see what you're looking for as well without having to rummage about!!

The fairly empty shelf is the one with none tobacco e-liquid as you can see not taken the plunge on much of it yet but am sure that will change.. There is a decent sized bowl tucked away in the lid so a handy thing to use for filling up.

I think in future I will make sure I take my bumf I typed up for hubbys work on e-cigs so if I see someone smoking I will be one of those pests and hand them a sheet - they can either read it or bin it, but at least they will have the info......people will end up avoiding me when they see me out in the village

I completely agree with that - it is a major advantage of vaping.
Stopping for a fag break is such a time waster, even worse is trying
to carry on doing stuff with a fag in your hand or in your mouth.

Thats a great storage unit prep

My fave vape moment is in bed No worries about burning the bedclothes, bedroom stinking of cigarettes or nicotine stains on curtains & blinds
