Vaping and not Smoking
well I finally was able to shake smoking completely at the first of December last year (2010). I had quit smoking for awhile earlier in 2010 but for some reason I ended up picking it back up. I dont really have any cool or convincing excuses as to why, so I will not even try to give one. The latter part of 2010 has been somewhat a stressful time to do this but I like a challenge
Anyways, I have been vaping only now and really have no desire to smoke at all. Basically it is just taking a liquid that contains nicotine and turns it in to a vapor, so you still get the nicotine that you are addicted to from traditional (analog) cigarettes but without all the other carcinogens or poisons. I am slowly tapering off these now without issue. I dont use it at work hardly at all anymore mostly because it is so cold outside and I cannot use it inside. I do tend to use it more often when I am sitting at home in front of the computer.
I am trying to get some others to take this up full time rather than smoke at work, but its not something that is easy to do. You have to WANT to quit smoking and some people just dont want to. I can understand, I really do… What I have found out is how bad I must have smelled to others though… I can deal with it when people smoke near me if we are outside but not if we are indoors lol! Well, I will post more here about this subject later, and will include some links to resources I use on a daily basis for information. I will say people who vape tend to help one another out, and that is not something I can say for smokers. Almost like you are in a “club” with members all over the world!
