What did you used to smoke and what tobacco flavor do you vape now?

One of the 'joys' of being Federally Disabled is NOT being in charge of my own finances. So when the 'others' decided to quit smoking I was regulated to the window for my smoking - or outside. When 'they' could still smell it I was regulated to roll-my-own pouches of American Spirit tobacco. About a pouch every 4 days, or a box of American Spirit Dark Green Menthol every 2 days. Now that I am vaping I am allowed my own 'office' to vape in as much as I like indoors. My son still comes over and smokes analogs in my office, but for some reason he does not get in trouble for it like I do when I smoke his analogs, sigh, to be young again. (Yes I do live my life like I am 14 years old, another 'joy' of being disabled.)

Smoked different varieties of menthol over the years, the last and longest was marlboro menthol light 100s. Cant stand anything close to tobacco now with the exception of modern vapor's ry4.

Menthol was a choice for me, as nobody else smokes it - and they actively dislike the smell, so I could smoke without tempting others. At the time, I so unwilling to quit that I acquired a taste for, what I considered at the time, a distasteful flavor. Such is the power of addiction.

I'm sorry to hear that. I take care of my mother who developed muscular dystrophy within the last few years. It's been really hard for her to deal with the feeling of being completely dependent on others. I do my best to give her control over her surroundings by having her list things she'd like to see done around the house or yard and getting them done myself, even if they seem insignificant to me. It's doesn't completely get rid of the idea that she's helpless, but it does seem to make her somewhat happy. The best thing seems to be just listening to her when she needs to rant and rave.

I'm sure it's tough to be disabled and I'm sorry to hear that you're surrounded by people who don't seem to understand that you need to have some control over your environment.

I smoked Camel Blue 99s. During the months that I smoked and vaped the favorite juice was V4L Wow Kamel. It was also the favorite for the first couple of months after I quit smoking altogether. Now that I'm four months past smoking the last cigarette my sense of taste has improved a lot. I can't stand the taste of any of the juices I started with. Right now I'm vaping a DIY unflavored 20 mg nicotine. It's 95/5 VG/H20.
