Whew! What answers! Keep them coming.
Andria, aren't long suffering hubbies giddy with appreciation?
Mine who also never smoked says, "Spend! Spend! Whatever keeps you vaping."
Now I've got to go and digest what you smart people said......may take awhile.
My wife smoked a bit in college, mostly while drinking, but it never took hold.
I smoked a fair amount through high school and college, mostly while drinking but also more than that.
But it really never took hold in that I HAD to have it.
Except for that first one in the morning, which was mandatory in ways that fulfill the full definition of mandatory.
I say that because anyone wanting to prevent or delay that first cigarette would be taking their lives into their own hands.
But the rest of the day I was mostly cool.
But I still wanted to smoke, more for the ritual and behavioral aspects than the nicotine.
But the nicotine wasn't exactly a turn-off either I have to admit.
Anyway, though I only smoked about 7 cigarettes per day, my wife wanted me to quit because of the stink.
I didn't believe in the stink, because I held my cigarette at arms-length and made sure to stay downwind of the smoke.
I was only fooling myself though.
I surely was not fooling her.
So when e-cigs came along I moved quickly to this new way of satisfying the VARIOUS things that smoking gave me.
The list of which is quite long, and of which nicotine was only a small part.
Anyway, I no longer stink, which makes my wife pretty darn happy.
And I no longer wheeze, which makes me pretty darn happy.
And yes, though I only smoked about 7 cigarettes per day, I did that for about 27 years.
And nobody is more surprised than I am that I was wheezing in the first place, let alone that it stopped after about one week of vaping.
