It must be the anti-smoking culture that we've become used to - maybe it's outrageous to think that devoutly religious people would partake of such a bad practice.

I love nuns and don't see why they would need to pretend to be super human.

Just don't mess with da systas ;)

HEY, the second nun from the right looks just like my 8th grade teacher, Sister Mary Remington. She used to have a large steel-lined ruler - looks like she has 'upgraded'.:thumb:

What are we addicted to? I don't know what YOUR addicted to, but I'm addicted to my obsessions. To get off real cigs, I have adopted the obsession of every aspect of vaping and perfecting my experience. I just don't have time to want a real ciggie anymore. :p

My PG just got here! So I have PG, VG, Flavorings, 36mg flavored bases to work with... oh yeah... uh huh. Next time i get liquid... I will get flavorless... and then I shall be *almost* my own juice god. The nic is sacred. well... untill I come to a point where I have left it behind without even realizing it happened. hah! If ever!

My theory on this is that the pleasure of nicotine is actually short lived (weeks) but sets up a connection between smoking and 'reward' such that though the reward is empty it is associated with pleasure, with 'my time'. Like a trinket you kept from the girl or guy who gave you your first kiss ...

Hmm, but that doesn't quite explain the cravings ;)

And why I can't seem to talk myself out of it ...

OMG I'm outta juice!!

...So of the 40 a day, how many were for nicotine... I just always had one lit.
This E-cig is cool, I don't even want to smoke.. I'll just vape and wash everything that smells like tobacco. And maybe I'll dilute some juice and smoke "lite" and find out...

But I need to order some Juice, so I'll pick up a box of carts to get me by, order some juice, find some PG and some flavors.... I can vape some blanks here and there... a cart was lasting me all day, at first...

...I'm effectively out of juice, it should have been here yesterday! Damn! I have 2 njoy carts left... It's Friday, the mail should be here early... it's a holiday weekend... tracking says it's still in Louisville!!!... 4 ml of Pg in the bottle and ready for nic.... Both those carts are dry! Damn! I haven't smoked in a month! Why can't I do this? ....?.. I don't want to smoke.

wait a minute! .. I have nicotine! All that crap I was going to send to Senator Lugar from my varied attempts at quitting... Where is it?!
Smok-a-way came with some tablets.. where are they? Popped 3... then 4, chew 'em up! Oh, old Nicorette gum! UGGG! Nasty, no wonder it didn't work! Not to mention I could smoke and chew gum at the same time! ...Patches... "EXP" 2003", too slow... Commit Lozenges! already quartered! Disolve my ..., chew it up.

OHH! The mail! It's here, rip it open, in the house, mix, load the 4081 and the 401 vaped them both, 2 fisted... seriously... then had to take a nap.

Note to self: Order more niquid!

I've got to see clouds.....that's #1
taste is #2 - chocolate & coconut mostly
the controlled breathing would have to be #3 - I draw to fill my mouth, then inhale into the lungs.
Having something hand to mouth is next....

Nicotine is WAAAAY down on the list. I vape as low a formula as I can, and plan to go down to no nic as soon as I go buy some LorAnns....I've got the PG & VG, just dragging my feet, as I've invested a lot of money in flavored juices experimenting on which tastes I liked.

One of these days, I'll get around to posting some of my fruity dislikes in the classifieds.

Oh, the horrible, horrible nicotine addiction!!!!

I have read it and heard it-over and over again. The anti-smoking movement-one cannot even smoke outside anymore without getting "the look" anymore.

I've seen whole families demolished by drugs and alcohol, yet I just don't hear much about this anymore.

Sure, I agree that smoking is not healthy, nor would one want to put a child in harm's way, but it seems that enough is never enough.

Been smoking 40 years, sometimes up to 3 packs a day, most recent years only 1 pack daily.

Started vaping in January, and for me it's the best thing that's ever happened for a true blue smoker.

I do not need the nicotine. Am currently vaping VG, 0 nic, and loving it.

I am addicted to the habit of smoking, not the ingredients. As long as there is plenty of smoke I am in perfect contentment.

OH, FDA, leave us alone!!!
