This has been a short and crazy ride so far. I haven't put a match to a cigarette for two weeks. 35 years a dedicated packyderm. 35 years.
I've been dreading trying to quit smoking for over a decade, even knowing that it was the single biggest gift I could give to my own health and anyone else around me that I cared about. My three children were getting bigger and my cough was getting deeper. Even as a real smoker, I could smell the smoke smell. The vehicle...
It's no longer an unusual story: My lungs hurt so bad and I couldn't ignore the hacking. Bought a thingy at the filling station and... that was that.
It has seemed easy.
I've spent more in disposables, a 510 starter kit, and two--no three-- shop-arounds for cartos and juice than I did the last two months smoking. Worth every freaking penny.
My lungs feel better than they have for years. I'm smelling ... smokers.
I'm vaping quite happily on that little 510, currently with joyetech 'D-Mint', and it's like I never knew how to cup a Bic lighter into the wind. OK, that's pushing it. But I never could stand a menthol, like when I'd have to steal one of my Dad's Salems.
I haven't glanced back much. I expected quitting smoking to be an ordeal of the high order that I've seen peers go through with many substances.
But I'm not smoking anymore, just like that.
