That is right... Big tobacco can kiss my last ..... My Halo g6 should be here today. Thank you to everyone on this forum who have unknowingly provided support and insight to me as I have lurked. Can't think of a better Christmas present for myself or my boys than a smoke free Mom. (well... they may say an iphone). Again, thanks to all. You rock here at ECF.

Howdy neighbor (I'm in RC)

and welcome to the ECF
Thank you. I hope everyone here realizes that the time and effort in your posts are encouraging. I have been a walking contradiction for years... eliminating aspartame, flouride, prescription drugs... then puffing away on toxins. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning waiting for the darn thing to get here. Silly, but I feel like I am entering a new phase in life... I want to have more energy and be a better role model for my boys. ECF has been an inspiration. I can't get enough of the success stories.
Congrats! It is nice to be off ciggies for SO many reasons. And I'm encouraged to stay the course by every post like yours 
good luck.
good luck.
I don't deserve congrats... but I plan to earn them when I can be smoke free and encourage others. Never wanted it more. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps I am being dramatic... but all those who have been chained to their lighter and smokes knows how powerful they are and the control they take away from you. I am taking that back...
I've been on a similar quest...I stopped eating ALL processed foods, I eat NO bread, no pasta, no rice, no beans and no grains. I eat local, organic & grass fed as much as possible. Friends, family & coworkers would say..."all that, and you still smoke?!" Quitting smoking was my last step.
Congrats to you, hope your vapemail arrives soon! The support here is tremendous. I've often found that just by reading on ECF keeps me away from those "stinkies"!
Good attitude. vaping is a commitment and you do have to earn it. I got the Halo G6 for my sister and brother-in-law because they saw that I had quit for a couple of months after smoking for 25 years. They used it at first a little, thought it was really cool, and now it's just sitting there collecting dust. Vaping is not as easy as smoking, nor is it as easy as using the nicotine gum. Some people don't want to charge batteries, refill cartomizers, buy more liquid, choose differerent flavors, keep up with whatever maintenance, or do any of the vaping related stuff.
It's just not for them. But since you're on this forum, I'm sure you'll stick to it through thick and thin.
Can I kiss it too?? Sorry, can't help myself. Welcome to the forum and let the vape journey begin. Hope you have as great a success as many here have had. I smoked for 27 years and now a vaper for the last 8 months.
One thing about me... I am goofy. I don't hide it either, I embrace it. Big Tobacco and "the powers to be" are doing their best to hide and hinder e-cigs as an alternative. ECF is getting the word out. My "goofy" way of saying thanks is to hopefully bring a smile to your day and little perspective to this time of year. So take a break... grab a vape...
T'was the night before Christmas in the mall parking lot
Edged out by Granny, I lost the last spot
I circled around as the shoppers past by
Their bags full of treasure, rushing home for the night.
The eighth time around by chance or by luck
I was able to park, when a Prius backed up
Now the space was not big, in fact, it was small
Took out both mirrors... but I fit after all.
Mumbling words not fit to repeat
When the doors would not open, I climbed the back seat
With style and grace, from the rear of the van
I emerged with a thud and fell on my can.
Now on the clock, with closing time near
I made a vow to shop early next year
Soaked to the bone with slush on my pants
It was in that fine moment... it hit me at last.
The meaning of Christmas was not on my list
Of things we don't need but think I must get
Not games for the X-box or three pair of Beats
Things with ten cords and little black screens.
It was not made in China or found in a cart
It was not at the mall or even Walmart
It was not in the isles and not on the shelves...
It was bigger than Santa and all of his elves.
Too big for stockings, to big for a box
It came without ribbons or red bows on top
I smiled and laughed alone with my thought
For it's not what I get... but all that we've got.
Crawling back through the hatch, I headed for home
And my brain grew three sizes that night as I drove
The moon danced on the snow, stars lit the way
Peace filled my heart as Silent Night played.
A glow from our porch brought a tear to my eye
For the meaning of Christmas is the family inside
The politically correct I may offend with this phrase
But MERRY CHRISTMAS to all... not Happy Holidays.

Yea Team, BleacherMom!
Aw-w-w-w, your poetry brought a chuckle and is right on. Merry Christmas to you too!
Aw-w-w-w, your poetry brought a chuckle and is right on. Merry Christmas to you too!
Thank you choochoogranny. Hoping poetry was not against the rules here. Will need to write my ode to Big Tobacco next. If I made you smile it was worth going out on a limb and being different.
Are you kidding? We're all here 'cause we're "different" and have been bucking the PC crowd for years. Ha! AND, now by vaping we're bucking Big Government, Big Tobacco & Big Pharmacy!......Just gotta love being different ........and a good fight.
Amen. Big Government will have to find another tax source to save their rare rats in California if e-cigs take hold. Big pharma will have to deal with a healthy generation and Big tobacco will have to admit all the toxins in their product. I have been a sheep walking to the slaughter. No more. BUT... it didn't come in the mail today. I wait one more day to take my journey to freedom. Today, I climb the walls. May need to throw my keys in the snow so I don't go get a pack in a moment of weakness. Just good thoughts of those gourmet flavors on the way. They should really make an eggnog one.
Last and hardest. I too do the no wheat. All this and we smoked. Our own worst enemy. Thank you for your kind words... I now know that I am not the only one.
