You know, I'm coming up on my 6 months since I quit smoking. That is a pretty long time. And over the last couple of months, I have wanted to fall back into smoking because of money troubles (sounds counter productive huh? lol), because of stress in my life and other issues. But, I have never done it one, because they are $5 a pack and each smoke is a friggin quarter. And the second and most important reason is my health. The last couple years, every cigarette I lit up, it was in teh back of my mind... "this is going to kill you, it's filling your lungs with tar, your veins and arteries with crap and it's going to kill you". And that was what led me to vaping as I'm sure you all have read in teh beginning of this thread.
But I wanted to give smoking cigarettes a try, not under stress, but under controlled conditions. I wanted to relive that taste that I loved so much. I wanted to relive that smell that I loved so much. I wanted to relive that feel of it in my hands. So last night, my brother in law was down for the night and I decided that I wanted to try one. So I asked for one of the 72's that I always smoked before quitting. I lit the thing up, took that first drag, and I will be quite honest with you, I about puked on the ground. Horrible flavor, way tighter draw than I have on my mods and the throat hit was double what I have brought myself down to on my RDA's.
Now, being a person of science, I base everything off of the fact that you can recreate your results. So after a little while, I had another one. Thinking that maybe the first one would kind of "break me in" to the smoking thing again. But nope, it was just as disgusting as it was with the first one. I mean just horrible.
After going in side, it took forever to get that taste out of my mouth. I can safely say, I highly doubt that I will ever light up another one for the rest of my life. But I had to give it one more go. I had to know what I left behind. And let me tell you, I have no regrets. Smoking is friggin nasty.
