I was going to post a reply in the "Older Folks and vaping Front Porch - Part 2," topic after reading though many of the 863 post, yet I see that I'm not welcomed anywhere but here. So I will post that reply here for what its worth them I will politely leave. I feel sure I can find another place where I will be welcomed.
Im 67 & been smoking for many years. My first smoking was sticks. I forget what kind but there was one kind that did pretty good. I suppose that was prior to age 10. Them I started slipping a couple of Have A Sweets Cigars out of my parents store at a time. I would climb up in a tall sweet gun tree at our property line. Set there smoking watching people come & go to our store. It was quite enjoyable being up there smoking a cigar watching everyone & knowing that no one knew I was anywhere around. That was one of my favorite hiding spots! And I kept this to myself, friends would come over & play with me but I never shared my smoking tree with them. Yes, me & my friends would slip off & smoke but not in My Tree!
And I always kept 2 cigar there at my favorite spot close to the top of that tree. I had some nail nailed into the tree & would leave my cigars on them. I feared getting a pack of cigarettes thinking they might miss them, plus keeping an open pack of cigarettes up there in that tree the weather would get to them & ruin them.
Never will forget when a tornado come though & blew my smoking tree down, sure did miss it!
In the 10th grade I started playing football & quite my smoking, them after football season in my senior years I started smoking cigarettes. My favorite cigarettes have always been Marlboro. Through the years I have smoked other brands but would quickly go back to Marlboros. And when I say Marlboros Im thinking of Marlboro Reds. Them lights never did count as cigarettes to me.
I did quit once back in the 70s while driving a truck cross country. I guess I stayed off of them for about 3 months. Them one night about midnight I left out for a 2nd morning delivery in California. I knew I was going to have to keep my drivers door closed in order to make my delivery time. As I left town I stopped at our local EZ-Mart going in buying a large coke. When standing there paying for it the little packs of Swisher Sweet Cigars caught my eye. So I bought a pack of them. On that trip I smoked 3 of them going out, & none coming back home. The next trip I made I smoked the other two. Them before leaving out for my next trip I bought one of those packs of cigars that looks much like cigarettes. Them on my next trip I got myself a pack of Marlboros. Them I was back on them.
Early this year I got a lung infection, it was pretty bad & for about a week I could hardly breath. Them it started getting better & I just left the cigarettes out of my life. Them one day I went back to my cigarette store to see what kind of e-cig they had. They had two brands, I dont remember what the other brand was but I tried the Blu. And I smoked them for about 3 weeks or so.
Them last week I stopped in at the new Le Cig store on Wednesday. I bought one of their H2 Express kit, & a bottle of juice called Reds that has 12 MG of nicotine. I did not care that much for it, but I used it. Today I went back bought a bottle of USA Blend with 24 MG of nicotine. That was the only USA he had. Le Cig list 3 different USA made blends, he said he would soon have the other 2 pretty soon. He just recently opened up.
I believe if I had to keep using that Red I would have probably gone back to Blu, but I like this one fairly well. And as the day goes on Im liking it better. Also today I bought an extra battery, so I may stay with this. But when he gets the other two America brands in I will try them.
Oh, on Thursday I went to a small town north of us to get a hair cut, I can get my hair cut there for $7.00, here at my hone town it will cost at least $12.00 if not more. And as usual I went to a convenience store getting a cup of coffee after that to drink on the way back home. I noticed they had e-cigs, & justice that said it was made from American tobacco in a cabinet by the cash register. If I get back up that way I might try what they've got. I feel much better using American made than that which is ship into our country.
