My history smoking firstly. Now I'm aged 39, started at 13, 20 a day since prob 16, quit once for a year in my late 20's.

I quit 10 days ago, not a drag since. Am on e-cigs, and it is honestly murder! Every day I am struggling, always dragging on the vapes, often really REALLY wanting a cigarette. The first hour of the day is the worst.

Using one of these -

Aniseed vape flavour is luuuurvly smile

Questions. When does it get easier? What coping techniques have others found helped? Does e-cig usage drop over time? (last time when I quit I went from 15ish Nicorette gums a day to prob just one within the year) Will I ever not miss my beloved cigarettes?

Asking as I really want to stay off them, but I am finding it incredibly hard!!

Should have gone for a sub-ohm!

I find it much easier with one, than when I tried with a similar setup to you.
Elaborate on that Matt? Is it a Vape HQ product?

A progress report. It's now just over three weeks since I quit. I'm using the vapes as much as ever (they work for me) plus another thing helping is that I now have approaching £150 in a money jar, from putting to one side what I would have spent on Marlboro's.

Week two I found hardest, which matches my memory of quitting some ten years ago. There were times I really could have screamed!
All in all though I'm now beginning to find it easier.
