    Trouble making the full transition

    I agree completely on the idea of seeking out support. I really enjoy this forum, because everyone here is so positive. I don't have a very sophisticated or sexy setup - just an Apollo TGo, and a bunch of juices that I'm trying out. The experience has been very positive for me - I have a...

    My Doctor's Blessing

    It would be great if any one of those organizations would reverse their stance on e-cigs, but it would blow my mind if the AMA continued to support a ban when so many doctors encourage their patients who vape. I'm looking at the positive responses here, and these are just the ones who have...

    My Doctor's Blessing

    It's very heartening to hear that. Maybe they'll go to bat for us if there's any threat of a ban. Has anyone heard if the AMA has an official stance on vaping?

    My Doctor's Blessing

    Nicotine was a godsend for me, even if smoking wasn't; without nicotine, I'd have a really hard time staying on task, and after decades of smoking, it also became an emotional crutch. Humans need a certain amount of nicotine for brain function, but I shudder to think about how much cabbage I'd...

    My Doctor's Blessing

    Probably not a bad idea. At the end of the day, you know yourself better than any doctor ever could. A doctor's advice is great, but when it comes to what's happening in your head, you're really the best judge. I have mild ADD, and am pleased that I'm just as "steady" with vaping as I was when...

    Trouble making the full transition

    I used to have a boss whose mantra during stressful periods was, "It's all mind over matter - if you don't mind, it don't matter." I hated that guy. ;)

    Trouble making the full transition

    I'm a newcomer, but if you don't mind, I'd like to offer a few words of advice. First off, if you're prone to anxiety, then you need to stop stressing yourself out by visiting web sites and reading materials that are intended to scare you. Smoking's bad for you; you know that, so move on...

    My Doctor's Blessing

    I think letting people find their own way is a terrific philosophy. I lurked around this board for several weeks before taking the plunge, and there are people from all walks of life and from all over the world who have switched to vaping to reduce or eliminate smoking. It's good to see the...

    My Doctor's Blessing

    It does feel good to get approval. I think it's the first time in years I've had a doctor approve of much of anything I do, so it was great to hear that I'm doing something right for a change. :D

    My Doctor's Blessing

    My sister has been struggling with quitting cold turkey, and she told her doctor that she needs assistance. The doctor prescribed Xyban and a cessation course. I told her that I'm down to 3-4 cigarettes a day from a PAD+, and sometimes not even that much because I enjoy vaping more. I'm not sure...

    That's amazing - I had no idea that any hospital would allow vaping. And I also have to wonder how many people you've helped out when you explained your Provari to them. Kind of like saving their lives in more than one way, right?

    My Doctor's Blessing

    I wish I could reply to everyone who's posted on here, because I'm delighted with the responses, but got pulled away with family Friday night stuff. YOU GUYS ARE TOTALLY AWESOME! I'm glad to hear so many medical professionals are backing up vapers - I adore my doc, but I'm glad she's not the...

    my boss thinks they should be banned

    Yeah, a bloodhound with a chainsaw and a hockey mask, right? :laugh:

    my boss thinks they should be banned

    Very true! People get bent out of shape because they can see & smell tobacco smoke; they don't stop to think that carbon monoxide is odorless and clear, but will kill you much more quickly than walking past a smoker. I have no idea what compounds you're referring to, but I'm willing to bet I'd...

    My Doctor's Blessing

    I have high blood pressure, and I see my doctor about every three months. This last time, I asked her if she could give me an opinion about switching from smoking to vaping. I was very pleasantly surprised. Apparently, many patients have asked her about it, so she did some research, and liked...

    my boss thinks they should be banned

    I know what I put Da Hubster through during my two pregancies - I had gestational diabetes, and didn't take kindly to his chocoholic ways. She might lighten up a bit when she's no longer a bubbling cauldron of hormones. That didn't help much, did it? Sorry -

    my boss thinks they should be banned

    Prepare to have your mind blown about bosses: Back when I lived in NJ, I worked in an office right next to an 8-lane freeway - all day long, all we heard outside was compression brakes from the big-rigs outside. On top of that, we were in the flight path of an airport, and all day and all...

    You might be a Vaper if...

    ...If you go to sleep smiling because you can't wait to try out your new ejuice at breakfast. ...if you give it a love-name like "my binky." ...if you sneak over to the B&M to buy ejuice, not because you're a bit obsessed, but because everyone else has a problem.
