I can tell that was made for the UK market--they misspelled "Vapor".

:lol:
When I see "vapour", it looks to me like "vay-PORE" rather than "VAY-per" -- same for "colour" -- looks like "cuh-LORE" rather than "CUH-ler".

Mr. Webster did Americans a real favor in helping us interpret pronunciation from spelling. No, he did not do us a "favour" -- because that would be pronounced "fay-VORE." ;)

This is my 300th post, so I would like it to be fairly frivolous and content free. But I must say that it's a disgrace to all of the UK and Canada that almost nobody in those countries can spell or speak the English language properly. Don't even get me started on the Dutch, er, Nederlanders.

Im sitting here scratching my head wondering why all these people are congratulating me o_O.

Did I accomplish something?

Do y'all congratulate people for finding a better brand of ice cream?

I am puzzled

I know I play along and say "well done" when y'all do this but I would like to understand.

Congrats on 6 yrs smoke-free!

And condolences on the food poisoning... ick. Hope you're feeling better soon, so you can get back to SCIENCE! ;)

Well you have prolonged your life, maybe even saved it, your loved ones dont have to watch you suffocate to death and your not killing people around you, you don't stink like an ashtray, your ceilings aren't yellow and since you vape we get to enjoy your company in here. What's not to celebrate.

Well I would be 16 hours smoke free. Last night I had a Cuban cigar and some Burbon on the porch.

I started vaping 6 years ago. I like it more than smoking. So beside the random Cuban I guess you could call me cigarette free :)

Thanks, salmonella can take weeks to get over but it's not too bad. I've felt worse.

If having a Cuban makes you happy once in a while, I say go for it.

I don't think cigars/pipes are NEARLY as addictive as cigarettes... I've known quite a few who might have a cigar or smoke a pipe *occasionally*... but nearly all cigarette smokers I've known, did it pretty much continually. I'm thinking it's because a) cigar/pipe tobacco doesn't contain all the additives which are added to cigarette tobacco *for the express purpose* of increasing addictiveness, and b) pipes/cigars aren't generally "inhaled" but are used more like vaping, slow draw, slow hang-around in the mouth/throat, slow exhale via the nose as much as the mouth -- so you don't get the near-IMMEDIATE uptake of the nicotine and the other chemicals, as you do with cigarette smoking, which are nearly always inhaled very quickly and deeply.

If a former cigarette smoker now vapes, but occasionally enjoys a pipe or cigar, I don't think that really jeopardizes their non-smoker standing.
