Not a native - moved here about 5 years ago now. Live close to the airport and the Admiral Flea market.
Smoked most of my life. Quit for about 4 years, until hubby (non-smoker) came home with a carton of camels. Said he admired that I made the effort to quit, but I definitly need to smoke. He says without cigarettes, I rip peoples heads off and.... So, began smoking again and I suppose people I came in contact with, were also relieved.
Recently, folks at work in the smoke hole had these e-cig's and I figured give it a try. I am so pleased to have this wonder. I opted for the 810 penstyle and absolutely am so thrilled. No more nasty smells on me, clothing, hair, etc... I now have a supply of lighters that will last forever, only use them now for candles and incense burning.
It has been two weeks now and my hubby is so pleased. My personality has not changed and he enjoys the taste of the kisses. Bless his sweet lips for putting up with my habit. Yes, I am addicted to nicotine. I tried the gum - yuk! and this solves the urges and the reflexes. No hand to mouth food ingestion to figure what to do without "analogs".
Now the challenge will be to work the mods and get supplies for when the power goes out. Since we lose power every winter due to ice storms, I will have to have plenty of batteries to keep
vaping with. Winter is not that far off. AEP will not ever bury their lines and people seem ok with losing power every year. Makes me crazy to know this could be avoided.
Anyway, we love living in Tulsa. Close proximity to many places we like to travel to - at most 12 hours away and so this is working out nicely. Notice this e-cig has been around for awhile. Glad to have the courageous ones that still go to our smoke hole at work provide the information to be smoke free. ------------- Now, I say courageous, only because some hate to have to explain this thing. No worries though, as this catches on, more will become converts and the smoke hole will just become the conversation pit. It pretty much is anyway. I appreciate smokers because it seems these are the easiest people to converse with.
And so it is.
Life is really good.
