My name is Karen. I'm bored and I have a case of Leinies so I'm writing my first blog.
Let's get the basics out of the way. I have 3 sons. They all smoke. It kills me a little to know they watched me smoke their whole lives. I also have 2 dogs, a cat, and 2 ferrets. None of them smoke. That makes me proud in a weird way. Of course none of them have thumbs so lighting a cigarette is difficult. And none of them have ID so should they attempt to buy smokes, this could pose a problem. But still, it's something.
Smoked about a pack a day, more or less depending on the day. If it was Monday, I wasn't drinking, so I barely smoked. It picked up by Friday when I'd get a case of beer du jour. Then I'd hit maybe 2 packs a day on Friday. Wake up Saturday with more of a cigarette hangover than a beer hangover.
So I take my kid school shopping at the end of July, just about the time he got out of Juvie (yep, I gave birth to a criminal. but you have to hear the whole story, so don't judge.). We're walking through the mall. I hate those kiosk accosters. They scare me. I keep my distance. Some guy is yelling something to me as we walk by. My kid says, "Mom, that guy wants you to try an ecig." I said "What?" He says, "An ecig." I said, "What?" The kid says, "An ecig. Electronic Cigarette. What? You never heard of it?" Smart ....
Long story short, we go back by the Ecig guy and I casually look. The guy says, "Want to try?" I say, "Sure." I was hooked. On a bad day, I'd have been flat broke and would have walked away. This was a good day. I had some disposable cash. I bought. Then I went home and started reading about them, and I could have kicked myself in the ... if I was a bit more limber. I just spent $130 on crap I could've bought for like $40 bucks online, and gotten better stuff. But hey, it got me started.
So here I am. A friggin ecig convert, e-cigarette-forum.com junkie, PV spewing advertiser, ex-smoker. Happy as a clam. Having fun. And my schnoodle is barking so I must go. Or not. She knows not the pain of the ex-smoker nor the glee of the converted vaper. Screw the schnoodle. I'm still on fire here.
My advice for what it's worth? Get yourself an ecig. And find someone to convert. You can share the juice, which you will buy in huge quantities. Plus you can share shipping. And the crap you hate, they may love, and vice versa.
