No Kind of Smoking is Good... / myLot

I used to be a 2-3 packs a day smoker of cigarettes. One day, I asked my husband to buy me a vaping kit, it was the day before Christmas, two years ago. For the price of a carton of cigarettes, I got a vaping kit and extra battery, extra tip, extra charger and (3) 5m bottles of vaping liquid. They sell vaping liquids from 0 nicotine levels on up.I have literally not smoked a cigarette in two years, never even cheated. Problem is, I still vape and it is hard for me to let go of the nicotine fix. My husband was a heavy smoker also, he chose to vape with me and quit the cigarettes.Financially, vaping is not expensive and you are not inhaling the tar and other carcinogens. I breathe a lot easier. The money we spent on cigarettes, still astounds me.I just traded one smoking habit for another, and hoping to let go of vaping soon.

I've never smoked, so can't really relate, but it's good that you aren't doing any more damage to your lungs.

In the UK there have been many scare stories spread about vaping, but I rather suspect that is from the companies that do stop smoking patches etc, it's a huge business and vaping is eating into the market.

Yeah... vaping is cheap and the other quit nicotine methods are expensive.

i tried the vapin' thingy 'n i reckon if'n they actually had the 'feel' 'f a smoke i'd been more inclined to use such. yepperz, tradin' one evil fer 'nother aint ne'er a good idea. i smoke herbal cig's myself coz the nicotine 'n crohn's jest didn't go together well. still not a viable solution i fear

Sorry, it's my first time to see the word "vaping" and I searched it immediately online. Now, I know what it is. Health is the most important, not only for yourself, but your family members, isn't it? Wish you will be able to give up smoking/vaping one day!
