I started smoking as an awkward teenager and kept it up for a little over 20 years. I’ve tried quitting several times. Once with gum, another time with patches, sometimes cold turkey. I usually did fine untill I got a little drunk. Now I don’t get drunk often, so I can honestly say I’ve had periods of several months without smoking. But you can’t cut out the fun of having a couple of beerst with your friends and loved ones completely, and most of them are smokers too. Then I found out about vaping. This was a couple of years ago. I was off cigarettes completely from my first inhale. Now, whenever I do get a bit tipsy, I just have my ecig with me and I’m no longer tempted. I still vape and I’m still using nicotine in my e-liquids. I’m down to the lowest level and I intend to stay there. I enjoy the consumption of nicotine and now I don’t have a reason to give that up. I’m no longer coughing in my sleep. I’m more active and no longer out of breath for doing almost nothing. Europe has recently decided for me that what I’m using is a medicine. This means I won’t be able to enjoy my hobby without going underground. This worries me a bit.
