So I can't stop singing the praises of e-cigs and what it's done for my life and that of my family, but I had to share this from this past weekend as it just proves the point of how life changing these things can be.
My beautiful wife (and best friend since we were 11), has hated the fact that I smoked analogs since the day I picked them up back in college (with good reason, of course). She turned a blind eye when she knew I'd smoked like a camel. She was cool with me smoking cigs on vacations "because I don't 'usually' smoke cigs, and, you know, I'm on vacation" knowing full well I was full of $#!+. She started to seriously get on my case when our first one was born and as she noticed I was "looking" older than my age (32), due to the way analog smoke ravages your skin and body. She really got on my case when her father had a heart attack a little over a year ago, partially due to smoking.
But with her help, I quit analogs and switched to vaping (which she supported on the grounds that anything but cigs had to be better) and we couldn't be happier. My lungs are coming back to me, my skin is clearing up, she practically mauls me with kisses and, more importantly, she (who's the family 'accountant') has actually budgeted "vaping money" so that I can enjoy the hobby that potentially saved my life.
So much so that this weekend, I was in need of a new atomizer and lower nic juice (the juice I was using was making my chest a bit tight and I suspected the nic was too high for me). We had both kids in tow (one a newborn) coming from a friend's birthday party and the only place that could supply me with the juice and atty was at the other end of the city (I live in New York) and I had 45 minutes to get there and, no doubt, there would be traffic. I figured it was a lost cause and would have to make due until Monday. Not so. My wife nursed the newborn so that she would be "pacified" for the trip, gave my 2 year old an iPad loaded with Disney movies, pulled out google maps with traffic indicator and got me to Jamaica, Queens with 5 minutes to spare before the shop closed. Even had me jump out of the car in front of the place so that she could drive off to a parking spot and avoid a ticket. One of the owners of VapeNY (vapeny.com) hooked me up with what I needed even though he was in a hurry to close up shop and head to a vape meet, himself.
Needless to say, she's a keeper! Seriously, I'm getting my girl expensive chocolates as soon as I head out of here. I might just marry this one
