Cravings 3 years later....

[fruitysmoothie]

I stopped smoking in 2013 and started vaping and then around a 6-7 months ago I also quit vaping (cold turkey) after seeing the horror stories attached to them (popcorn lung etc).... anyway, I am so so so glad to be dependant/addiction free now! I haven't had cravings for an actual cigarette for years but for some reason, the last month or so, I've been craving them SO bad I don't know where this has come from or how to handle it? Any advice would be greatly received!!

Anyone?

Only thing I can think of is to pop into your local stop smoking centre. You never know they might even recommend an ecig, many do now. Popcorn lung is bollocks.

Thanks for replying beezer, I was on electronic cigarettes for years but have been completely off them for the last year so wouldn't want to go back on them as I'd be undoing all the hard work

One way of looking at it but if they stop you going back to tobacco then that's a bonus. MrsB and I have been on ecigs for over 4 years after smoking for decades, no intention of quitting vaping. Only way we stay off the fags without going nuts. Better ecigs than being miserable and having cravings for the rest of our days. As Cancer Research say they're much safer than tobacco.

Thanks beezer, maybe if things get to bad I might have to consider it

Hi fruity I smoked for 10+ years, never vaped and quit overnight 3 years ago (or 4...?).

I get very very occasional (twice a year) medium strength cravings and curiosity but that's all.

I read and listened to the bonkers Allen Carr and became bonkers too but you know what the nutcase speaks the truth, it works, honestly! In my mind vaping is smoking as you are chained to an addiction completely unnecessarily. All I can suggest is to read the book even if it's three years later, i am SURE it'll help you.
