I always wonder how many people are disappointed by these and consequently write off
vaping altogether. I really hope that as the industry grows, makers of quality
devices will have room in their budget for widespread advertising.
My husband bought me a few of those while waiting for my kits to arrive; he was very eager to get me off of analog. If those kits hadn't come, I wouldn't have switched. The price just floored me - $12 for 1 disposable! Who uses those? How do they sell so many?
After struggling with V2 and Green Smokes - I liked the taste but it wasn't satisfying me - I went to the internet. It took a while to learn how to use them right and know that cig-look-a-likes weren't the way for me. 3 or so weeks trying to find the right tobacco flavored and then found chocolate mint and things have just evolved.
It wasn't a resolution or anything with me. In mid December I saw some coworkers in the California office campus vaping and talked to them. In fact, no one in the California campus was actually smoking in the smoking area but me and my Oregon coworker. It got the idea in my mind that this might be viable to get me to stop barracking myself in my home office while I was smoking. Kitty has asthma. Don't want everyone subjected to second hand smoke. Both of us have begun vaping. I am completely off cigarrettes - it took about 2 weeks. She is partially.
So for me, the date being the new year is just a coincidence. Joining the board was my growing interest in vaping - I become obsessed with everything. And my growing awareness of the legal issues and my fear that this wonderful thing I found that got me to stop smoking after nothing else had, after 36 years of smoking, this wonderful thing was in jeopardy.
I know that these laws follow a tipping point. Gay marriage, ......... legalization (edit-I guess you can't use that word - that made me laugh - I was mentioning the new Colorado and Washington state laws), original smoking bans. They start in local areas, get more and more support, more areas put laws into effect, then it is just a matter of time before the entire country/world goes that way. It is harder to push it back the other direction once it hits that point and easier to stop it before it goes too far. We have a lot of money against us. At least 3 major areas of interest pushing for their solution. But we have truth on our side. I am backing that with $$$, letters, and soon time. This is my life. How dare someone sell it for their own gain or ill-informed prejudice.
