    Congrats sweetie. The first 'birthday' means a whole lot, I know it did for me. As for other comments similar to "but you didn't really quit..", reply back with something like "Ya, I've just switched from relying on the power company to using hydro/solar/wind, so I guess there is no difference..", or just flat out say something like "vaping is vaping, smoking is smoking." See the replies to that..

    Congratulations!!!!! Don't let the naysayers get you down. We all know what a great accomplishment you have achieved.

    I smoked for over 45 years. My doctor has me listed as a former smoker now. She gave me that title over 5 years ago. Those that would try to put you down have no idea as to what they are talking about. I wonder if they would say the same to someone that wears the patch......

    CONGRATS, fantastic accomplishment!!!

    After 41 years of smoking, the bulk of that 1 1/2 packs a day, I've been smoke free now for 6 years!

    Yeah, people will say "well you still have the nicotine", don't listen to them! Nothing more than a stimulant as is caffeine. Follow a few around as best you can with..."hey that soda has caffeine in it, isn't that bad for you"..."another cup of coffee, really...you know that has caffeine in it"...."I read a study somewhere that says you really shouldn't drink anything with caffeine in it"...

    Yep, it'd get old to them really quickly!

    They will ALWAYS have something to say because of the "smoke" coming out of your mouth...

    If they do say anything I tend to use the "get away from me" tactic...I'm 6'2" 245...they usually leave quickly enough! :thumbs:

    stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
    So today I celebrate my 1 year of smoke free. Over 9000 cigarettes not smoked. Well after almost 40 years of smoking this is a great accomplishment for me. Anyways, I posted on a smoke free app and mentioned my vaping and the comments were incredible. I was basically told that it wasn't really a 1 year anniversary because I still had nicotine in my system and that I traded one addiction for another. I tried to explain that nicotine was no worse than the caffeine in their coffee. One person even said that it was the same if she smoked light cigarettes rather than her regular cigarettes and claimed she was smoke free. I was so proud of myself and got shot down by a bunch of ignorant people. You'd think that the ones trying to quit would be less judgmental. Pffft. I was wrong.
    congrats! dont worry about the haters,, they were educated by the media,,, who creates the news when they arent reporting obsolete plagiarized news.
