How to break it to your smoking buddies.

Sometimes I hide and vape because I just want to chill and get tired of answering all the questions.

Once I had my first vape I never picked up another analog, this with about 4 cartons of analogs in the house. In one week I knew I had made the smart choice. I was breathing easier and just loved hitting my 801 anytime I want. I don't even go out to the smoking area now, I can vape right at my desk without a care about the weather. I can honestly say I enjoy vaping more than I enjoyed analogs, after about 40 years of smoking tobacco I didn't even like the way they tasted even before I found out about the E-Cig.

I think that's my problem too. It's not peer pressure really. It's just having to talk about it, and feeling like everyone's looking at you. But then I never really enjoy smoking unless I can be alone with my thoughts. Don't come and talk to me.....

thats a good point. Often times I get strange looks and it seems that a lot of my family, and close friends don't like it just as much as they didn't like me smoking. I was hoping that this would kind of give me some leeway but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I'm having to continue to hide myself from smoking in front of my family and friends.

Ah yes, now that is an entirely different story.

When I was smoking cigarettes, which I only did on "breaks" from work or stressful situations, I didn't want anyone coming near me. I didn't want to talk, I wanted to smoke. Talking took away from my smoking experience, and my need to get alone with my thoughts.

Now that I have electronic cigarettes, I don't mind talking to someone QUITE as much while I am having my break, because I know that the electronic cigarette is not going to keep burning while I'm talking.

But then again, I still take my "smoke" breaks for the same reason I used to.
And this is pretty much to get away from people for awhile.
