I'm a fairly new vaper since December 19. That was also the date of my last analog. Someone mentioned on this thread way back when that they were giddy about vaping..that's a great way to describe me..giddy and freeeeeee!
I noticed several people told about scary smoking stories. I had one that happened years ago. My husband and I were driving home from a road trip. As we passed through this one city we noticed a horrible smell but didn't think anything of it because of the factories in the area. After we came home and checked the back seat we were horrified and mortified to find out that one of our butts landed in the back seat, burned a hole in it next to the guns and ammo! So thankful we were not blown up or injured. You'd think that would be enough to scare anyone to stop..but no. My husband smoked until about 14 years ago and I quit last December.
Little things in life that changed when I started vaping. I can agree with so many of the things already posted. Here are a few more.
Getting in the car to go to work in the winter and the windows are frozen shut. Oh that drove me nuts.
This summer I'm so looking forward to using the car air conditioning without it smelling like a wild animal peed on the engine. I hope that changes.
I think someone already mentioned computer damage from smoke. We just spent a good chunk of change on a really nice desktop..I know the last one fried because of the smoke. I just didn't want to waste anymore money on computers.
I'm really hoping my husband doesn't have to return to the hospital, but if he does I plan on vaping. It's going to be so nice not to make the long walk out to the garage and then wonder if someone will say something to you and make you leave.
Also, if there is ever a time I will need surgery I won't be upset when they tell me no smoking...such a relief!
Another change, being able to use wrapping paper. I could never keep wrapping paper or cards in the house, especially after I opened them because of the smell. That is really gross to give someone a gift that reeks. Also, I always felt self conscious lending items from our home or even giving them away because of the smoke smell.
And finally...I don't have to lie to my husband anymore about how much I was actually smoking. It was FAR more than he thought. I spent so much time running to the gas station, because I couldn't buy them where I picked up my cartons..the hubby might find out that way. Then hiding the packs where he wouldn't find them. Crazy I know.
What a great thread..and thanks to all for making CEF a wonderful haven! Everyone here has been so nice and helpful. I'm all giddy again
