I was killing my family slowly with SALT!

[AshleyNonSmokie]

I am a mom and wife, and a home cook. I have been married for 12 years and my children are 13 and 10. During most of this time I have been a stay at home mom, and I have cooked a homemade dinner for my family almost everyday. On weekends I make a full breakfast and we love BACON!

I was also a smoker of at least 1 PAD in all that time (17 year actually). After vaping exclusivly for 28 days, and 2 months almost exclusivly.....I realized that I was over salting EVERYTHING! If it wasn't sweet I put in salt, and lots of it it seems. I can not believe that I have subjected my boys to such an unhealthy thing. One of my sons is a Type1 diabetic and he can use all the help he can get to eat healthy and live a better life. I am so happy that through vaping and not smoking I can help provide him with a healthier diet by cutting down on the salt. Because now, I can taste it

I went throughout the same thing with my cooking too. Don't feel bad, we just couldn't taste anything. I even cook for a living and had NO idea how darn salty everything was. Just think of all the wonderful new flavors that we can experiment with now.

Just another + for vapeing..... and for you and your family! Keep up the good health.

Its very true.Its amazing how much more flavor things have now.

having not smoked in almost a year i agree...i can taste everything much better now...... that said im a salt freak and love the taste of it, now i can actually taste it better, dont think ive cut down though,lol.

Once I was not happy to have my taste buds return. I love BK onion rings with their zesty sauce. I got some a few weeks ago and OMG... that zesty sauce is NASTY when you can taste it. Unless you really like horseradish (which I don't). That is all you can taste.

That's OK though, I like ketchup too.

Since vaping, I've 'found' that processed and packaged foods have waaay to much sodium!

Congratulations on quitting smoking, being a good wife and mom, and going for a healthy diet.

I have rediscovered Mrs. Dash, and an entire new line of flavors of it, to replace salt. It really is good!

I've gotten some of my sense of taste back, but I'm looking forward to recovering the rest of it. I do the cooking for our family and I have the feeling I've been doing the same, especially with sauces.

just a little FYI, salt wont kill you. LOL. things are starting to taste better to me though. one month without an analog and things are getting better. to bad i have hit the loss of vape taste. as i have found by reading here it should go away shortly.

I agree. Anytime I buy soups or anything prepackaged I look for a low sodium option.

Thanks for all the replies BTW. I was starting to think I was a thread killer.

Ya brought a SMILE to my face! GOOD 4U taking better care of yourself AND family!

Yep...once my taste buds awakened, EVERYTHING was too salty...AND TOO HOT!!! WHOA!!

I always LOVED "Spicy Hummus" dip from Publix groceries. I bought it yesterday, and tried it again last night.

YEOW!! CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!! My MOUTH was BLAZING on the first bite...and the tears rolling down my cheeks weren't enough to cool the flames!

I won't do THAT again!

(I wonder how many folks ate my cookin', while quietly gagging on salt, pepper and hot sauce?)

Once I started vaping, I started noticing how salty some of the things we eat often are. I complained to my wife about how salty the ham she bought was, I told her to get the kind we always got. Of course it was the same brand. We also went to a chain Asian restaurant & I ordered Pepper Steak & it was way too salty to eat. My nonsmoking wife couldn't get it down, but a smoking buddy loved it.

The only 2 thing that I really like salty are popcorn & pretzels.

Great post, and brilliant point. When I first read the title...I was like, "What does that have to do with Vaping?" As I waited for the page to load it dawned on me it has EVERYTHING to do with vaping! And, you hit the nail on the head.

: )

no argument from me. LOL, bacon should only be smoked via hickory then allowed to rest before hitting the frying pan. LOL. when i saw that it was a "WTF" moment. LOL.
