I started using a PV last Friday and have had a total of 5 analogs in the last 10 days. Today I decided I was done with them. A friend at work was picking on me for using the e cig last week. He said I looked feminine. My response was " If you don't like it, then I challenge you to come try to take it from me". He didn't. Anyway, this week he is trying to quit smoking with the gum. By 2:00 he was a nervous wreck, and ran over to another coworker and bummed a cigg. I know tomorrow he will have a pack of Newport's in his pocket. I remember participating in this cycle, and I am even more thankful for finding V4L than I ever was. I have already offered to lend him one of my batteries and carts, but he refused. Pride I guess.
