To begin, I have to thank this forum! I've rarely seen such a helpful, friendly forum, it's brilliant!
I was a secret, angry smoker. I'd quit for ten years and took it up again during a particularly stressful time in my life, I hid it from my children to the best of my ability, but they were always questioning me, the smell, the frequent walks... I used every excuse imaginable to get out and smoke, it utterly consumed me. I stopped going to family events, snuck out of work up to 8 times a day, and was risking everything I had, my career, my relationship with my children, and hated myself for being a liar. I even ruined our last trip to DisneyWorld, sneaking off everytime I could and making excuses to get away so I could smoke, what a burden. I used the patch, I would rip it off to smoke...I chewed the gums, spit them out to smoke, for 2 years at a pack+ a day, my longest smoke free stint was 2 weeks. I hated it.
It's been pretty close to 100 days now, I saw a friend vaping at a party and he gave me all the info I needed, being a Canadian I just assumed it wasn't possible, but I've had no problems. I've watched the videos and I take meticulous care of my parts. I still use my joye 510, and I'm still happy with it. I don't care about the short battery life, I carry about 8 with me! I've turned three of my friends onto vaping, and we all happily vape in the pubs (with permission, of course) and educate everyone who asks us, and that's a ton of people.
So, I apologize if this was long, but I need to gush, because vaping has changed my life, my relationship with my children is repaired, my husband no longer turns away from me and complains how I smell, my job is no longer in jeopardy, and I don't wheeze!! Oh and hey, so much extra money
