I have been smoking since I was 15. I was starving to be accepted into someone's social group of my high school of a whole 150 kids. I met this girl named Brandy. A hardcore rocker person and she seemed to notice me a little more in a positive way than the other 149 bullies. I went over to a laundry mat during lunch with her to hang out and she offered me a cigarette. I puffed on it but didn't inhale. They all laughed at me and said I had to inhale to really smoke a cigarette, so I did and coughed and coughed and coughed. They laughed at me harder I got angry left and didn't smoke again until I was 17. I went to a place called Job Corps and EVERYONE there smoked. I picked up a cigar...it was cheap and I didn't have a buy a pack of cigarettes (Since it was technically owned by the government I could buy). Guys thought it was hot that I smoke a cigar. But the cigar was rough and I complained about it. A girl in my dorm gave me a newport and I smoked until April 05, 2010 non-stop.
I never once really truly wished I could quit. Even when I was pregnant with my beautiful baby girl. I told myself that if I smoked American Spirits that she wouldn't get any chemicals because they are all natural. I regret it to this day. I never want her to know that I smoked with her. Even though my husband quit and restarted for 9 months I didn't want to quit. He told me that cigarettes are expensive and we should quit for the sake of our baby. I didn't want to listen, I thought to myself. "We don't smoke in the house or in our cars, I change to non-smoked in clothes and wash my hands up to my elbows before I hold her every single time and take a breath mint so she would be more comfortable smelling my breath, what's the big deal. I DON'T WANT TO QUIT...I LIKE SMOKING." I began to wash my hands less and just use sanitizer, I started not changing my clothes but I still never smoked around my baby. Kaleb (my husband) wanted to try the e-cig. I was excited. I can 'quit' smoking cigarettes and everyone will get off my back and I can still smoke something. I didn't want to quit all together but when my e-cig finally came in I had no desire to smoke another analog. I smell more, taste more I don't stink I don't have to worry about hurting my baby (Although I still sanitize before I hold her so she doesn't get the nicotine off my skin) and now I feel great. I use to get boils, my body's way of releasing the nasty toxins in my body that cigarettes gave me, My boils are going away and less painful...I can sing again. Something I have not been able to do since I was 14 and with the flavors I got I hardly ever have a sweet tooth. I've lost 4lbs. since I started vapeing...and it was as easy as...well....smoking. This is all in 3 days...I can't wait to see the improvements after a week....month...years.
Also this forum is great I'm glad my husband found it and I have been able to talk to great people and have a lot of fun! vape On!
