So, the other day was the first time I realized that I prefer vaping to smoking. As in consciously decide that I would much rather prefer to vape over smoking a cigarette when given an opportunity to smoke. Game changer. That’s it. Just sharing a random thought. Nothing to see here... move on :)

Congrats, it's a nice gift that some of us get from vaping. I realized the same thing about a year in, one day it just dawned on me that I was enjoying vaping way more than I ever did enjoy smoking...life got a lot easier at that point :)

It's a great observation to note. I feel like that about 95% of the time, unless I am stressed out. My stress cigarettes were the hardest to stamp out. I gave up on them after realizing that for the most part I was smoking them thinking, "Is this the one? The cigarette that is going to shove me into the grave??.... Because I really really want it to do that."

LOL, that just isn't a healthy way to approach stress, and although I have given up those "stress" cigarettes for quite some time now, and they tasted awful and weren't satisfying.... So, with reluctance I gave them up. After all, I certainly have the option to hope for death without smoking a cigarette when I'm stressed out.

Vaping does seem to build on itself, however. You could never have "told" me during detox that I would actually prefer vaping most of the time but that is just exactly what happened. I am actually coming to find the smell of smoke increasingly disgusting. Of course, with my dual use husband, that may be a slight tinge of "You idiot, why are you still dual using?" but I can always tell when he smoked, even as he hastily tries to "hide" it if I approach his area if he's smoking.

Yeah, honey, good luck with that. I don't know why he needs to "hide" his smoking from me. When I quit, I had to force myself not to care whether he smoked or not, it's actually HARDER not to care as he "transitions... someday," LOL. But, for the most part I don't much care, it doesn't "trigger" me, I just worry about his health, now.
