I don't understand, you can get a cancer from cured meats? thats my favorite too

Dear harmonic,

I'm so sorry to hear for your loss. A few years ago I watched my grandfather go through the same thing: he was still strong as an ox but they said surgery was risky and chemo was more safe. His vice was more cured meats than cigarettes, though. He lost 120 pounds in a month after he started chemo. Then he was recovering back to his old self; the last time I saw him outside of the hospital we were having breakfast out and laughing together and I was showing him my new car. The doctors said it was a 2 years to live vs. 5 years to live with the chemo and he went back for another session. A week later the man I respected most in my life was gone :(

It's really wonderful that we have such a convenient and even fun way to grow ourselves out of the destructive habit of smoking with vaping. It's unfortunate that so many people are lobbying to restrict their use because it doesn't conform to draconian ideals. Trying to help your loved ones make the transition is a noble cause

We all understand if you can't spend the amount of time you usually do on the forums through this period, but if you want a diversion some of us are always here :)

i have cracked as well so dont feel bad, it happens but we are here as a family to help each other out, its not easy to quit something we have been smoking for 20 years plus for most of us.

when my grandma passed in 2010, i cracked and smoked, when my grandfather on my fathers side died in 2010 i cracked and smoked, when my aunt died in 2010 i cracked and smoked analogs and when my gramps was in hospital this year with brain issues i also cracked and smoked analogs, its a fighting battle at times when the stress is piled on, its not easy but then you (i) gathered ourselves and know its bad and continue on the path to vaping.

When we have lots of stress in our lives due to a death in the family you shouldnt beat yourself if you do happen to crack and smoke analogs, just regroup when you can and know that we are here for you through thick and thin.

we will continue to prey for you

I've never ever gotten over the loss of my Dad...think about him everyday, smile bittersweetly of how excited he'd be with the entrepreneurial activity I've been engaged in the past 12 years with my design site gotlogos and now gotvapes...He'd call about everyday excited for updates on what I was doing...so its ok to have a wince or two thinking about him...I'm with you buddy...

the forum has been a big helping distraction lol
thanks everybody seeing all the support here helps a lot.
