2) How has vaping affected your life?

I just came in from mowing my back yard. I do it the hard way, no riding lawn mower for me. I was barely winded by the time I was done. That wouldn't have been the case if I was still smoking.

The ritual of coughing my head off during the first 30 minutes of waking is also a thing of the past.

I am more comfortable being around other folks now knowing that I don't smell like an ashtray anymore.

Again, Thank you for this great contest :)

3) Do you still have a cigarette every now and then? If so, what are your impressions when you have one?

No, and even though I do wonder from time to time how good (or bad) one would taste, I am not even tempted even though hubby is a duel user so getting one would be easy.

Thank you :)

I don't smoke now, but at the high stress time when I had a few, I wasn't thinking about how it tasted. I was wondering how many hours I would be on hold on the phone. After I had those cigarettes, I was surprised that they hadn't tasted better, and hadn't made me feel any more satisfied than vaping does. When I realized that, I knew for sure that I didn't need them, even when things are stressful!

2) Wow, that's hard to answer... I do breathe better, I cough a whole a lot less, but 45 years of 2.5 PAD has left me with damage not even vaping can do much about. But it's still infinitely better than it would have been if I kept smoking.

It's wonderful to go places, like New Hampshire in the winter, and not be tossed out in the cold to smoke. And our favorite inn to go to even encourages vaping indoors, yay! I can enjoy vacations again instead of dreading them.

My wife is just thrilled, always a very good thing.

Not to mention all the wonderful shiny new toys I get to play with. And I get to play mad chemist, something I've always wanted to do.

So all in all, vaping has made me a very happy camper.

3) No, I'm too afraid of the addiction. I fear that if I have just one, even with as much as I love vaping, it would just hook me back in again. So I'd rather not risk it at all. I do have a pack that I kept when I finally quit, just in case... But I've never needed it, and now I'm looking for someone to give it to.
