I enjoy going out to the smoking area and catching that smell of a freshly lit cigarette. I think it smells great. I haven't had a cigarette in just shy of 3 years. Just remember the vapor smells as well and just because you may think it smells great others may not.

If someone wants to smoke, chew, dip or vape, go for it.

I have never heard of such tests. Even when i was a smoker, my insurance premium was the same as the rest of the employees(none smokers). And i never received a direct written notice telling me that im being charged more just because i smoke, even after a full blood work up... which told me that my salt intake was too high.

I do know for a fact, that smokers spend more money and have more frequent doctors visits, do to issues and side effects caused by smoking.

Then again, if im vegan and consume 20lbs for veggies each day, then tests will not be in my favor. Im sure they have a set XYZ Nic level in their tests. Similar levels that are set for people who eat bagels with poppy seeds.

Here is a link to the horrible Daily Mail paper that ran an article on testing for smoking. Which I think is unfair that it is testing for Nicotine. I would have thought carbon monoxide levels would be fairer.

I was vaping a juice from a local B&M, it was chocolate, coconut, and almonds (Almond Joy flavor) and my son smelled the exhaled vapor and started looking to see where the cat had urinated. I didn't think anything about it until I let it steep for about 2 months and when I exhaled it then, it TASTED like cat urine. Nasty! Had to throw that bottle out. Not all juices smell nice when exhaled.

My wife thinks one of my exhaled juices smells like old socks( juice name redacted). And she is right it does. Never made the connection before.

Would it be surprising for you to hear some people say the same thing about vapers?

I still get the coughing and spluttering from people that assume wrongly that I am smoking, although now I have tried sub ohming for the first time I can kind of see their point, even if they can no longer see me for clouds of vaper :)

The smell is awful to me now. On my way home today I had the windows down and could smell the cigarette from the car ahead of me and we were going 65mph!

I look at it as a great reminder that I do NOT want to go back to smoking. Without those little reminders I might just listen to that stupid little voice in my head that tries to convince me I want to.

I smelled like that for most of my life, I am not ever going to complain about those who still do. I remember how it felt to be criticized and treated like a leper, I won't do that to someone else.

If you were ever recorded as smoking, even once, and you die - it was a smoking related death. That is just the way the game is played.
Since the Drive to stamp out smoking by the ANTZ - No smoker has died a natural death even if their heart failed at 99 years old.

I guess that it would be fair to say that everyone else died of non-smoking. Like in "non-smoking related causes" but for brevity we'll say just "non-smoking".

Sounds like youve been constipated for weeks with conspiracy theories, try drinking prune juice.

The key words in my post were..."more prone".
Get your self a dictionary.

Wouldn't help, your crap is to thick:lol:

# of smokers annual percentages steadily dropping. Cost of annual Health care steadily rising. Illness reports increasing every year. You do the math.
