OP I for one am thinking you just made a really good choice for YOU actually.
Yes, the are the "addict kids." I am sure I would have been among them
vaping. DESPERATE to try the next thing in line to change my consciousness which was ABYSMAL. I would have done almost ANYTHING to change how I felt.
That is not vape stores, that is not mechs, that is PURE DESPARATION. If I could have gotten a brain implant to make me normal as I kid I WOULD have. Instead I turned to substances.
I have nothing against them PER SE, but a few habits I picked up were HELL to deal with, and probably have shortened my LIFE. That is not "being cool.'
I don't sit at the cool kid's table any more, taking about what thing I can steal next to get loaded. I do not HAVE to, I am HAPPY. I give new vapers the advice I give ANY new potential addict. It's not all it's cracked up to be and unless you are SUPER lucky and smart enough to pay attention, your probability of dying alone, homeless and miserable are much HIGHER. If not that, you will spend more.... On your addiction and feeding it. There will be less left for your family if you are lucky enough to have one.
So, sorry I'm not a cool kid ANYMORE. I have over 30 years experience of where that led me. What I am is HAPPY and GRATEFUL. I deny vaping to NO one but I will not sugar coat it either.
Finally, I accidentally swallowed a coil. A rather large one. I didn't realize it was l late and in my med box. It exited yesterday. So really, I am the LAST person you should even be considering "cool" right now.
That's okay I remember being oh so cool that mysterious dark angsty stranger to all, friend to none, awful boyfriends chasing me.
It's not COOL. I'd rather poop out ANOTHER coil than rejoin THAT group, so like, do NOT count me among the COOL kids thank you SO MUCH.
