the little things in life that change when you vape instead of smoke

[mke67]

Not having your wife rip you a new one if she smells smoke in the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[starrynight]

as long as you don't let your atty/carto go dry......lol.

Very true! Things only a vaper could understand, hmmm. That could be for a whole other thread

 

[rerere55]

Have a clear conscience that I'm not helping to further pollute the world! No cigarette buts, no air pollution, out of paper (not killing trees)...

 

[Stownz]

Being able to smoke in the shop, instead of going outside=absolute heaven for a mechanic.

 

[Bella Chic]

Smelling pretty when going on job interviews instead of like an ashtray

Holy cow Mr. Pink, I think you covered 'em all.

Good list to send to anyone you're trying to help move off analogs. Here it is (so far) in one place, customized a little for my wife...

# Never having to hear "Mommy, you stink!"
# Still smelling like perfume, or shampoo, at the end of the day!
# Not having to wait in "that line" anymore.. going through the self serve machines whenever I want, because I don't need to ask for a pack of Marlboro smooths!
# Not knowing, or caring, how much the price of cigarettes are anymore
# If I am driving with a nonsmoker, I no longer have to refrain from smoking in the vehicle, cuz I can vape!
# I no longer have to go to the smoke shack at work
# I no longer have to go outside in the triple digit heat or freezing cold to smoke
# I no longer have to spend so much on body mists, colognes, breath mints etc to cover up the "ciggie smell"
# I no longer have a smelly car, or ashes all over the inside
# I can drive with my windows completely closed, and keep the rain out, and keep the AC or heat in
# I dont have to constantly stop at the fillin' station for a pack of ciggies.
# I dont have to worry about "running" out of ciggies
# I appearance is so much better-esp skin color/texture and i wont need to spend as much on plastic surgery in the future
# I can "date" a nonsmoker, and a nonsmoker might be interested in me!
# I dont have to worry as much about weight gain, which is one of the reasons that kept me from quitting analogs for 27 years.
# I can vape anywhere just about....I can always sneak a "stealth vape" since the vaopr goes away so fast!
# I dont have to worry about starting a fire.
# Saving money!
# No more littering by throwing butts out the windww.
# I dont have to worry about cig burns to clothes from falling ashes (have ruined many a nice shirt or pants/skirts or jackets cuz of this.
# No searching for an ashtray or disgusting beer bottles full of butts.
# Not having to go nuts cos your lighter ran out of gas,flints or the disposable just quit or that you left the house without one!
# Not having to use that pristine cigar lighter in the new car(if it has one) and burnin your finger or dropping it if you did use it.
# Not having that window glare when lighting up whilst driving at night.
# Less money on tooth whiteners !!!
# Not having that disgusting film on the inside windows of the vehicle.
# Not having to have the butts, lighter and ashtray all at the same time.
# Lesisurely shopping for supplies on the internet rather than having to stop at a crowded gas station store.
# I can walk into a room full of people after vaping and feeling refreshed without a worry that you smell like a chimney.
# Being able to give a big hug and kiss at a moments notice to my little princess without making her wait till i wash my hands and face.
# Drinking more water because my favorite juices don't go well with pop. (My doctor has been trying to get me to drink water for years and I never liked it before!)
# Not having my husband preach to me about smoking.
# No more smoke eye-hits.
# No ash flying back in the window and hitting you in your eye when driving.
# No more wheezing when I lay down in bed to go to sleep!!!!
# No more of my husband telling me I reek like smoke, and me thinking he is full of crap. I was wrong, and I've already apologized 143 times.
# No one bums e-cigs from you.
# Being able to take single drags then put down or put in my pocket until next time. I'm vaping less than I smoked because I can do on an as needed basis!
# No more standing alone in the rain while my nonsmoking friends wait for me to finish my cig before entering the theater, bar, stadium......
# No more ashes in my drinks! Yay!
# My eyes are not constantly dried out.
# Paying less taxes!

I could not have listed this better myself.

now you can say "I don't play in your ashtray , so don't smoke in my shop!"

 

[siohunki]

tons of benefits i can see here, pity about the ban in my country. zzz

It has been almost 10 months since I started vaping and stopped my decades of inhaling burning tobacco

My total life has changed since then. My tastes and choices are now healthier ... I had been addicted not only to cigarettes but also to Coca-Cola .... now I absolutely prefer lemonade, fresh orange juice, and my enjoyment of vegetables has increased. Even in the areas of spirituality and relationships - I now choose that which affirms life and brings me joy.

I am so very thankful to have been set free from the stench.

 

[Bradder]

As for the little things, it has been mentioned not having to deal with self-extinguishing and ash-dropping FSC analogs. I also love meeting a lot of new people who come up and ask about it. Have made some long time acquaintances and started some new vaporers (vaperies? vaporists?).

Good point!

Also: Now I can borrow my husbands car or drive a rental without stressing out because I can't smoke in it. I can drive long distances without having to pull over to smoke.

 

[stephyda]

WOW love all of these they are all so true!!!! But no one mentioned Living!!!!!! Im thankful that I am no taking back my LIFE!!! I never in the past 20yrs thought I could quit. Even after smoking through 3 pregnancys..I just couldnt no matter what I tried.. Vaping is savinig my life and I feel better knowing ill be around for my kids!!! That what I wont miss about CIGGS!!!!

 

[mychl717]

I know this is going to sound horrible, but since I could not smoke around my wife, and would not smoke around my kids, I would stay home sometimes when they would go the local playground, or over to see mommom and poppop, just so I could smoke....

Looking back it really kills me that I would ever give up on time w/ my family for a stupid cig...

Now I can catch a quick stealth hit here and there and not miss out on family time anymore!!!!

 

[vapi]

I've cut way back on my pepper intake.

 

[LauraY]

* not having to go outside to smoke
* not worrying about if I'm going to have time to stop at the gas station for a pack of smokes when I'm running late
* I don't stink!!!
* my skin has started clearing up
* I can smell and taste again!

Don't feel bad, we've been there.

I have to go out of town on business next week and this is the first time ever that I won't have to bring candles or air freshner for the hotel room so I don't get charged the $300 penalty for smoking in the room!

 

[MsBree]

**I no longer have to spend $47.94 every two weeks for Smoke Eliminator Candles for my house!
**I will no longer have to worry about the wind blowing out the lighter flame while trying to stealth smoke on the beach!
**I can tick off 'non-smoker' when applying for health insurance or another life insurance policy!
**Not having to change my entire day's schedule to run to tobacco shop the day before a snow storm!

 

[Free2BeMe]

I ate some delicious collard greens I made today and didn't douse them in hot sauce so I could "taste" them.

 

[Free2BeMe]

Not looking for change at the bottom of my purse and ending up with a fist full of tobacco remnants.

YES!!!! I would do that allllllllllllll the time!
