i'm a (starving) banker from orange county, ca. i've been smoking for 8 years and i'm 22 years old. my analog smoke of choice is Kools Milds 100s (although i've become fond of the camel crush fad). i've been married for about 2 years to a wonderful man about 10 years my senior, and i'm a stepmom to four, i myself am currently w/o children. we have a little cat who we love, even though he bites and scratches us for no reason many a time.

the past 2 years i cut down on my smoking a lot, but with the stress of the industry i work in, my smoking has increased... last week a client began vaping at my desk and my facisnation took off- i have a penstyle enroute to me as i type :D

outside of whats mentioned above i also frequent a jewelry forum where i love to talk about the 4 C's and post my jewels as well as oogle others'. i also enjoy cooking very much :) i'm a very spiritual person, but not religious. i haven't decided wether i will have children or not, the desire has never been in me... that may change, but i've made peace with it either way.

i'm new to the forum, and i know how to use the "search" button. but i thank you all in advance for assisting me with any "newbie" questions i may have that i'm unable to find an answer for myself.

i'm very excited to start vaping, and so is my husband. i have no intention of quitting smoking, i never have. but i distinctly remember recently shivering out in the cold smoking with my auntie and saying "someone needs to invent a damn smokeless cigarette! so i don't have to freeze. and so you don't have to OD on perfume when you go back inside!". i was very upset :) so this is like a dream come true- and the lack of carcinogens is a definite plus... although when i told my aunt, very excitedly, about the e-cigarette she was less than enthused, and even made a face i think! figure THAT one out!! ah well too bad for her, happy time for me.

thanks for letting me introduce myself,
elle

I think it's about time I introduce myself as well. My name is Carli; I live just south of Seattle and have been divorced for a very long time (I haven't found anyone who can put up with my bull-headedness! 8-o

I've been smoking since age 14. I actually started when I got away from it. Everyone in my family smoked at the time. My best friend and I spent a summer vacation in Montana, and I realized I craved it when we encountered the fresh, clean air. No peer pressure or other such stuff. I just craved it because I was already addicted. Ironically, I am the last in the family to give up the habit.

I have a 19 year old son who just started college (EXPENSIVE!). He has such a better head on his shoulders than I did at his age. :oops:

Politically, I am an Independent. I believe in voting for a candidate who represents my ideals/beliefs (I hope) rather than a party.

I am also agnostic. Enough said.

I am a district sales manager for a consumer electronics firm. What that really means is..."Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach." I teach. ;)

I am so grateful to all of you for educating me about e-cigs. I have yet to quit completely, but have the utmost faith that isn't too far in the future.

It is my great pleasure to "meet" all of you.
