E Cigs saved my life, second part

This is so much more enjoyable. It's been a week, I have no cravings for another cig. I feel better already, no ashtrays or ashes, no smoke and I don't go crazy looking for a lighter. It is so much cleaner.

Smokers have to convince themselves they don't smell to be able to continue this nasty habit. To be honest, we don't smell it when we're smoking. I have never bothered with perfume, because trying to cover-up the horrid smell just makes it worse; it's in the clothes, your hair, your breath and I believe it actually penetrates the skin. There is no amount of baths, shampoos, breath fresheners or colognes that will hide the fact that you're a smoker.

No matter how bad you wanted one, after the first one or two of the day, they really started to taste nasty, but a true addict will never let that stop them. On top of all that, the cost has shot up so fast in the last few years, that no matter how addicted you are, an addict will pay it even if they have to do without necessities. You can't enjoy anything when all you can think about is getting your hands on a cigarette.

Besides all that, smokers are considered less than second class citizens anymore. They have been banned from most places where they had been welcomed before and they are even threatening to outlaw smoking in your own homes and vehicles. I have spent the last several years dreading ever having to go into the hospital for anything. You can no longer even step outside and smoke.

With an electronic cigarette, you can smoke anywhere. There is no smell and no smoke; and all the flavors are to die for! Instead of tobacco flavor, there is hazelnut, chocolate, amaretto, rum, clove, cola, red rum, cheesecake, cherry, vanilla-------------more flavors than I could hope to name and you can also mix your own favorites. A person can buy different strengths of nicotine and gradually cut the strength until there is no nicotine at all, just that wonderful vapor and flavor for those of us who have had this habit of spending all our time lifting a small cylinder to our lips and inhaling. It's cheaper, cleaner, healthier, more acceptable and so much more enjoyable.

One week in and I can't imagine smoking another smelly cigarette, when I can sit here, with no ashtray, no lighter and take a whiff or two of any flavor I can think of and just lay it down until I want it again.

Life is good---again.
