Massive tobacco user in multiple forms from chewing tobacco to cigarettes to pipes snuff and back to cigarettes. It seems that through all of that, cigs were my crutch in life. Tobacco has also caused me a number of health related issues from mouth sores to COPD. I can't blame asthma on it, but I can say that it didn't do me any good...Dad's working with Agent Orange in Vietnam gave me the asthma.
I've tried quitting a number of times over the years...never lasting more than a few days at a stretch. Once I began vaping, I was able to walk away from them without much trouble. I'm 4 weeks clean now, and am re-learning smells and tastes. One thing I've learned...my coat closet stinks from smoke clinging to my jacket and winter coat. They are both in the laundry now. My workshop in the basement smell real bad, and I've got some smoker's candles burning down there right now, trying to kill the smell. I've sprayed every smoke killing spray on the market through the house, and the smell is getting better. I only smoked in the basement shop, but the smoke came up through the floor...not a good smell.
On my next doctor appointment, the doc is going to re-test my lung capacity. I'm hoping to see improved numbers there...because I know I'm breathing MUCH better. Vaping has either saved my life...or prolonged it. Only time will tell...
