Either that or move down south where smoking is still "tolerated" and still relatively cheap.
In Texas, most of the larger cities (Dallas and Austin, at least) don't allow smoking in bars anymore. And they are pushing to make that a statewide law. So while the prices aren't as bad as in NY, smoking is barely tolerated now. When I was young, things were very different, but times have changed.
I'm new to vaping, and was a heavy, 3 pack a day smoker for many years. I never thought I'd quit smoking - until I got my eGo.
Best of luck to you. If you have problems, questions, if you need anything, just post in the forum. The people here are great.
