Quitting???

[opfor]

A value judgment is implied in the OP it seems. Is someone being sort of disingenuous when they say "I quit" but they still like/use/rely on nicotine (thus continue vaping)?

My thought on that is just considering the harm caused by nicotine alone compared to the harm of cigarettes (it's quite clear as to what is harmful within), I chose to "quit" cigarettes and "not quit" vaping - and I don't go out of my way to be too proud about quitting cigarettes. No need to gloat.

joel what you're saying is accurate but it is not the point.

so yes, what you are saying is correct - you wanna 'be right'? ok, you're right, but so what? It's just pointless nitpicking.

Soooooooo right. When I told my ex I'd quit smoking, he was all "great, how'd you manage that?" I said, with e-cigs. So he just nitpicks, well you're still addicted to nicotine... and I'm like... SO FREAKING WHAT!!!!!!!!!

I never signed up to be a saint, or a nun, or a perfect little miss no-dependencies-ain't-I-PURE.... I wanted to STOP SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!

And I have!!! With e-cigarettes, and now with my iTaste PV... of COURSE it mimics the behavior, otherwise I couldn't have done it!!! It just blows me away how SIMILAR it is, how it tastes so like, yet so much better, how it FEELS so like, but IT'S NOT KILLING ME!!!

CIGARETTES WERE KILLING ME!!! vaping IS NOT!!!!

WHY is that so hard to understand?!?!?!?!

It mostly definitely IS quitting the habit of smoking, which is what was killing me. Plain nicotine isn't going to hurt me any worse than caffeine does, maybe even less -- I have to be every bit as careful with caffeine as I do with nicotine, or I'm bouncing off the ceiling and my stomach hurts, pretty much exactly what nicotine does to me if I take too much.

But we don't need vapers saying "it's not really quitting", thank you very much; we get enough of that from the ANTZ, or people in our families or our friends. It *IS* really quitting -- CIGARETTES. There aren't thousands of carcinogenic chemicals in vaping, and THAT is what kills people, NOT the nicotine!!!

just trying to give my opinion on SOME VAPERS not all of them
i already agreed that vapors quit cigs thats not even the point
but never mind if i cant even have a normal conversation
i give up
there was never any intention to attack anyone personally
that didnt work out the way i thought
have a nice day

Why, oh why, can I only like this once??????

 

[MissBlue]

right, andria? so fracking annoying.

Joel - yes you are perfectly welcome to your opinion, but this is not a MATTER of "opinion" -

nobody SAID they quit nicotine. they said they quit SMOKING CIGARETTES. it is two completely different things.

but you just don't seem to get this.

i am not offended and i am not personally 'attacked' - that's not the point.

you cannot have a logical discussion about this, because you seem unable to understand that you are mixing up two entirely separate things.

so whatever. am done here.

my mistake

Since taking up vaping I only smoke after sex.

 

[CKCalmer]

I recently quit hotdogs. But wait - when I ate hotdogs, I was also ingesting the water that comes inside the hotdogs. So I can't say I quit hotdogs unless I also quit ingesting water?

Since taking up vaping I only smoke after sex.

Me too! Although I haven't had sex since I started vaping, so it's really a moot point, eh?
