    Vaping while sick.

    I am just getting over the only bad head cold I have had in 3 years! This one has been a real doozy. Day 7 of it and I have felt pretty normal the past 2 days now. Good news? It never went to my chest! No cough either. I vaped the same through my cold, vaped the same liquid as usual, but...

    Medical professionals who vape!

    I like your approach! I wish employers around here would have that same thought process. All the hospital systems here have a nicotine policy in place, unfortunately. 3 of the biggest employers all have the no nicotine/no hire if you use it policy. Really sucks when you want to work at the...

    Topdogie nailed it.....smokers are not a protected class. And in healthcare, where the "brainwashing" of big pharma and anti-tobacco is as big as it is in any other industry, there is very little tolerance for employees using tobacco products. I understand the no smoking while at work...

    Medical professionals who vape!

    The main reason for secrecy is that it creates a target on our backs at work. I work for a facility that refuses to hire people that use nicotine. Those of us who were hired prior to the rule were grandfathered in, but trust me, they WILL and DO find reasons to terminate people that use...

    I am a critical care/ICU RN. Every day at work is pretty much a crazy day. We deal with pulm issues, sepsis, multi-organ dysfunction, and we do heart/liver/kidney transplants. We are 2:1 patient ratio, and rarely have a tech on my unit, so the RN's do pretty much everything. The ICU is...

    Provari outdated?

    You are gonna get a ton of answers here...fanboys, lovers, haters.....brace yourself! :) I have a Provari, got it over 1.5 years ago when the V2 came out. Do I like it? Yes. Is it very well-made? Yes. It is American, backed by a warranty (1 yr, option to purchase 2 yr), and you can easily...

    Neurotransmitter precursors / supporters for quitters

    Valerian root works well also if you are feeling anxious or jittery. It acts on the same receptors as benzos such as Xanax or Ativan. I take it when I have a hard time sleeping when I am anxious about something the next day.

    Neurotransmitter precursors / supporters for quitters

    You could also take a GABA supplement as well......or try St. John's Wort. Just make sure you don't take the SJW if you are on any type of MAOI medications for depression. I applaud you as well! The WTA will be a great option for you. Hoping the plane flies it here quickly for you! :)

    What are you thankful for?

    In the spirit of the season.....what are you thankful for? I am thankful for my health, for a roof over my head, and food in my tummy. I am thankful for a job that allows me to challenge my mind and truly make a difference in the lives of my patients. Being a critical care nurse is hard....a...

    how is everyone's health since stopping cigs?

    Not a doctor......but as an RN I have worked with many cancer patients. A lot of your side effects are *likely* post chemo related. Which makes me so mad......chemo is so taxing on the body, and to me it is so frustrating that fighting for your life to kill off cancer has to wreck havoc on...

    Your last analog!

    I love seeing all the new people. My last cigarette was August 22, 2010! Over 3 years ago! I was a 1.5 PAD for 15-ish years. I was starting to creep up to 2 PAD when I quit. Like many of you, I stopped smoking as soon as my starter kit arrived. I had 4 stinkies left in my last pack. They...
