...going down to 0 mg of nicotine!
I have been vaping 6 mg, and am going to start the 0 mg as soon as my liquids get here (which will hopefully be today!). I plan to see how it goes, but will keep a bottle of the 6 mg on me just in case. I still plan to vape just for the pleasure of it, and also to help with weight loss (I have a tendency to eat sweets at night, and vaping dessert liquids has REALLY helped...I haven't had a "midnight snack" in about 4 days!). I'm really excited!!!
Everyone in my family, in my grandmother's generation, died of a smoking-related disease, with the exception of ONE of her four sisters (and the one that's still alive), and two of her brothers (one died of emphysema, one is still alive and battling prostate cancer). Even her mother, my great-grandmother, died of emphysema. My great-grandfather died of a heart attack in his early 40s. That could have been hereditary, but I'm sure smoking didn't help! I'm praying I haven't already screwed myself after 16 years of smoking on and off...honestly, mostly on. It scares me because obviously, our family does not do well in that department. There are maybe 5 or 6 peope in my family who don't smoke. Everyone else does, and smoking seems to be the #1 addiction for us. My great uncle even has prostate cancer, is having chemotherapy, and STILL smokes. My grandma has COPD, which has landed her in the hospital several times, and she STILL smokes. She quit for a while, but couldn't handle it. She's even in denial about her health problems, sometimes saying smoking didn't cause them, that it "could have been the dust in the air." She gets so defensive of her habit that she gets angry when people try to get her to give it up. Another one of my great aunts was on hourly breathing treatments that left her covered in strawberry-red bruises, and she could never breathe...yet, she kept smoking. I don't want any of that to happen to me.
I just hope and pray that this works for me. I'm very excited at the prospect of not being dependent on something that has caused so much damage in my family. I hate cigarettes, I really do.
