New Side Effect and it Really Hurts

[Semiretired]

I have been vaping now for two weeks. The first full day vaping I cut my analogs to 12. By the end of the first week I had cut down to 8. During the next week I cut down to 5 or 6. So far today I have only had 4. The first ones in the morning and after meals are the hardest to break.

But, now I have a new problem and it is getting more painful by the day. It is in my back, shoulder and right arm.

Between me patting myself on the back everyday with each further step in my progress and my wife and friends patting me on the back and giving me encouragement - my back and my shoulders are killing me (lol)...

I guess I will have to live with it, but I sure wish someone had warned me up front better.

Oh, and by the way - this is one side effect that I know I can blame on vaping!!! (lol)...

Good job!! The first day I started vaping I smoked 4 analogs, the next day it was 2, by the third day I had phased them out completely... Take your time and that day will come, now I can't even stand the smell of analogs..

Well you got me with the title.

While the post was supposed to have a comical side - it also has a side of truth to it.

My one friend has never let me smoke when I rode with him as he says it stinks up his new truck - he says it is bad enough just letting my smoked clothes into his truck, but he will let me vape in his truck (with the window down a little of course) (lol) and he says I am not carrying the smoke smell in my clothes anymore even though I am still smoking a little each day... He is also the one that is tapping my back the most and continually telling me "You can do it"... Oh and he was a smoker about twenty years ago - back when I first met him and has been pressuring me for years...

Guy walks into a doctor's office and says:

"Doctor it hurts when I do *this*".

Doctor says:

"Don't do that"
