I thought I was the only ex smoker/ vaper that enjoyed it still.
When Im out and about, if there is a smoker I relish the aroma, and as I walk by I take in a big ol' whiff and "memories" start washing in.
I love the smell. I never thought it was bad, obviously, if it was that bad I would have not kept smoking?
If the regulations and all the BS doesnt get straightened out, If I was a vapor that started and never smoked, I might be forced to get my "nic fix" from cigarettes. If the big tobacco/ politicians/ big money people dont get their cuts, dont be surprised if the cost of cigarettes actually starts to go down. It could happen
But yes. A vaper can switch to smoking for many reasons. Its all how they project the "vice" is a "cool" or rebellious thing ? Many young smokers I know through my sons friends etc, see "vapers" as idiot, douche bag, trendo, ignorant dummies just going with trends..... Honestly, if I had not started when I did, I might have kept on smoking rather than be stuck with the stigma of the " hey clouds, bra" "whats your MOD, man" "triple , quad alien coils for sure" stereotypes.
Its a fickle world out there. First we were freaks for starting to vape, now we have made a whole new group of freaks. I see it this way, Im still a freak but I feel better and at least after spending on vape gear I have something I love to look at VS what I spent on cigarettes all I had was dirty ash trays, empty cartons, and plastic wrap and yellow fingers.
