I'm just over 2 weeks into vaping, and I am down to maybe 3 or 4 cigs per day. I don't view it as treating myself though... to me they taste nasty and really I'm pretty much done. Now, 'treating myself' to vaping ~ YES
that's the correct reaction you want from being that early into it keep it up
I have been 14 months smoke-free. However, my son and daughter wanted to "treat" me for a social night out together at a hookah bar. They know I've quit cigarettes, obviously, but they had already tried hookah and tried my e-cigs and told me they are quite similar in form and function. I was not quite sure exactly what hookah was, so I had to Google it.
It was a nice summer evening, and the hookah bar had an outside patio where we spent over an hour. They were correct, the experience of hookah was similar to vaping. Fruit-flavored tobacco through a huge water pipe. Surprisingly smooth.
I had no tobacco flashbacks or other side effects. I have no desire to smoke a cigarette, or to even try hookah again unless it would happen to be another social gathering with my children.
and i think as a parent i would be honored (assuming your kids are still college aged) most kids at that age wouldnt be caught dead with their parents in a "hip" place like a hooka bar.
i haven't been to the hooka bar in a while maybe 2 years? but its really fun to go and very popular with college kids, i think its awesome that you got to go and do that with your kids
haha no worriesI'm a divorced single parent, and I consider myself fortunate to have a great relationship with my college-aged children. I guess I'm still considered "hip" at my age. A few months ago I attended an alternative rock concert of my favorite musical artist (Muse) with my daughter. We have similar interests, but also respect that we have differing interests, too. I'm still the father and they are the children, but we're also friends.
Sorry to the OP for the
I don't deny myself when I want a smokey treat, be it a cig or clove or cigar or pipe. However I am delighted that at this point I don't see them as treats, especially not in the shadow of a super delicious vape! Every time I do say eff it and "treat" myself to some carbon monoxide I realize how very much I dislike the sensation of inhaling smoke, nowadays.
For all the clove lovers... if you haven't already YOU MUST TRY MtBakerVapor CLOVE!!!! I am not a huge fan of cloves but my gf and one of her friends love them and always smoke a few when they drink together. MBV Clove is such an accurate flavor it's ridiculous, right down to the tingle on your lips. Her friend does not smoke cigarettes and only smokes the cloves on occasion, but she really likes them. A few days ago she was over and we loaded up a eGo/clearo combo with clove for her to try... she LOVED it ;P
It was cool, she didn't set fire to a real clove all night!
(once i started doing DIY iv refused to pay vendor prices haha)
