I quit smoking after 27 years, cold turkey, for 7 years. I started up again during a stressful time, saying I'd quit when the stressful situation was over. When the time came, I didn't really WANT to quit. Yes, it stunk; yes, it tasted horrible; but I actually enjoyed smoking and didn't want to give it up again. I work in the medical field, and I keep an eye on the research, and unless they find that vaping causes some crazy damage, I have no plans to quit. I don't mind the nicotine addiction...to me, it's no worse than people using caffeine (which I don't), and it actually does have some beneficial effects (regarding memory, focus, etc.). Just glad to be rid of the 1000s of chemicals that are in regular cigs.
