What is YOUR Smoking / Vaping History & Greatest BENEFITS??

[GOMuniEsq]

I decided when I started smoking in my twenties, that I would not continue smoking into my thirties. I gave myself license to abuse my body as much as I wanted in the short term, and smoked a pack an half a day.

When my 30th birthday was drawing near, I ordered a stash of eGo batteries with those refillable plastic tanks and long leg coil heads and the strongest juice I could find. On the fateful day I stowed my cigarettes in a cupboard and devoted myself to using the new equipment.

I was tempted pretty strongly but the e-cig was able to take the edge off the craving each time. I used a lot of coil heads and chain vaped until the liquid in the tank was warm and brown, but I didn't give in. I made a conscious effort to focus on the positive and ignore the negative since the ends justified any means. After a few weeks it became habit. That was nearly seven years ago. Technology has improved wonderfully.

I remember hacking up yellow stuff for a couple of weeks as my lungs cleared, being able to appreciate the taste of food better, and no longer being winded by minor exertion.

My sister quit with a cig a like, then gave it to me to try. I thought it was a joke at first, but it actually wasnt to bad. I then purchased one for my wife and a bunch of extra cartridges. We were unable to quit from our 1.5 PAD habit using these , but we did cut our smoking by 1/4 or more. For the next couple months I was addicted to finding a better type of vape, bought a mech mod and genesis atomizer and This worked, after a couple days I was cig free and been rebuilding ever since but my wife thought my new device was weird and didnt want one, so she continued to smoke a little. She was still doing the cig a like at 24mg and I was now buying my own juices at 24mg. On my birthday, January of 2012 I bought a provari and found ecf and never looked back. Once I bought my wife a provari and carts, she quit within a week, so we have been cig free for 8 years now. So with a wonky cig a like, I did dual use for a few months, but once I bought a real device I quit within a couple days....oh vaping benefits, total transformation! After not smoking for 8 years my doctor said he would never have known I smoked fir over 30 years...I have no cough, flem, nothing it's all gone

The benefits of smoking?
Well a long time ago I had stopped for 6 months. One day my former boss may have been acosted had I not resumed that day. The only changes would have been the shape of my hand and my employment status. He would've still been a jerk so I weighed the option and chose to smoke a couple of cigarettes to calm down. A few weeks later I left that job. He was killed in a car crash shortly after.

Vaping benefits these days is better health. That and someday a fatter wallet once I'm done paying the bills for my shineyitis.
Right now I'm still in the red but the number gets closer to black each paycheck.
