Vaping has saved me!

[CrunchyGeek]

I quit tobacco the day I got my pv (check out my siggy for the exact time), and THANK GOD (and I'm not saying thank God in a slang kind of way - I've actually prayed my thanks). If I were still a smoker I'd be fit to be tied by now.

I've been in the hospital since Tuesday, and it is a tobacco free campus. Not a nicotine free campus. If I had wanted, I could have gotten the patch to get my beloved nicotine, but the patch has never agreed with me so I didn't even ask. For the first time in my adult life I've been able to say "no!" when they asked if I use tobacco. Again - they don't ask if you smoke they ask if you use tobacco! Needless to say, while my doctors and nurses know that I vape, I haven't asked them if vaping is accepted/denied in hospital policy. They haven't asked, either, so I'm guessing it's a don't ask, don't tell kind of thing.

In short: thank God for vaping! And vape on, my friends!

I feel the same way, CG. Every time someone at work asks me for a cigarette or a light and I say, "I'm sorry, I don't smoke cigarettes anymore", I just feel.....ecstatic and happy and proud that I can make that statement after trying so many times to kick my 35+ year analog habit. I still can't believe I'm now a non-smoker.

Congrats to you; I know just how you feel.

My father has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now and it also is a no smoking campus. They dont even have anywhere on the grounds outside. I have been spending a lot of time there and vape in his room. He even takes a toot once in a while. The nurses always ask what it is, but no one as ever asked me to stop. So I keep doing it.

Yeah, first time for me was at a new dentist's office. Filling out the form I had to pause for a bit before putting a "no" next to the smoker question. First time in over 30 years.

I'm being released today, with the diagnosis of "we don't know what the heck is wrong with you." Bah.

I'm still happy about being a non-smoker on forms, AND I've educated a bunch of nurses about vaping! They've ALL said that they're going to tell their smoking patients that it is a good way to quit - they ALL agreed with me that the patch/gum/lozenge/prescriptions don't work.

I feel like instead of being an activist, I'm a vap-a-vist!

Hope they figure out what is wrong with you, and that you feel better soon. Happy vaping!
