threw my last 1/2 of a carton of cigarettes in the burn barrel

[ad356]

i was outside burning cardboard today. i took the last 1/2 of the carton i had left and threw them in the fire. goodbye, see ya later, no more. im done, im sticking with my vaping and i have no intention of ever buying cigarettes ever again. my son comes home in a couple days and he WILL live in a smoke free home. his young body doesnt need to be exposed to cigarette smoke and he doesnt need to smell nasty smell. i also dont want him growing up with parents that will die young and a nasty death at that. im going to be 30 years old in 4 days. time to grow up. quitting now, before im too old will reverse nearly all of the damage that has been done to my body in the last 14 years of my life.

will i ever give up nicotine? highly unlikely. but thanks to e cigs i have given up 3980 chemicals, give or take a few.

Boo ya! Congratulations, I am very proud of you!

Cigarettes are SCARY! Every person who reverts to an alternative is another life saved (or rather another death avoided, caused my cigarettes) and that ALWAYS puts a smile on my face.

Thats great...I still have the last pack of analogs I was using from 7 months ago in the center console of my truck...I just like holding on to them as a sign of something I never want to use again..

Good for you! Great news. I feel the same way. Haven't smoked a cig since I made the commitment. I smoked for 46 years. Loving all the vape flavors. Love breathing again and tasting what I eat.

Good job, it feels good not being a slave to something that you hate.

cool, north java is a sweet little town. i love where i live. i own my own home here. i wouldnt have it any other way, its quiet here, the taxes are lower, and the homes are affordable. unlike where i lived, previously. i rented in east aurora for several years. sky high taxes, outrageous property taxes, and overprice land and home values. i would never buy a house in erie county, much less that overpriced/over-rated snob-town. my parents own a home in east aurora and their taxes are around 7 grand a year. my taxes are 1,700 per year and i have a 2 acre lot; 1,500 sq ft home, a barn, and a storage shed. i paid 76,000 for my house and my parents paid nearly 200 grand. there house is bigger but they have significantly less land. they live in a development with snobby neighbors walk around with their noses in the air and dont mind their own business. i have several neighbors that are adjacent to my lawn but they are far enough away that i have my space. they are also wonderful people that are always willing to help out. i live in a tightly nit community that i love very much. people mind their own business but are always willing to help out their neighbors when they need it. i return the favor whenever possible

i love north java and Wyoming county. its also a very pretty place to live, great scenery on the drive to work.

I live in Erie County! I pay $4500 in property taxes on a 900 square foot shack! On Saturday, I got a letter that they're raising my assessment another $10,000. I wish I could move, but my whole family lives on the same street (4 houses) and I take care of my 90 year old grandma who lives 8 houses down. It's very complicated. I never learned to drive, so I'm kind of stuck

I kept my last carton of cigs; they're $10 a pack where I am! We often have wicked weather and I thought there may be a power outage and I'd be unable to charge my ecigs. They don't bother me though. I just stuck them under some clothes on the top shelf of my closet.
