Hello, my name is Lane and I just wanted to share my small tobacco sensation story with y’all. It might be a short story, but it is mine. I am 19 now but my story with tobacco goes way back. Just like many other young people a lot of my family smokes, from my mother and father to my grandparents and so on and so on. It seemed to be like some kind of tradition and at 16 I began carrying the torch of death my self. Being so predisposed to it that it seemed fitting even if I was hidding it from my parents. There was never a need to steal them either, most of what I managed to get was from older friends being a highschooler and all, they certainly didn’t care buying then for me since that’s where they where headed once the bell rang at the end of the day. At 17 I was smoking half a pack a day, my dad would seemingly brag about how much he smoked and drinked at my age so I really didn’t care. Once I turned 18 and got my first real job however my habbit got much worse, up too two packs a day but usually a pack and a half. My coworkers where shocked at times when I would talk about my problem. Shortly after starting work, a brick and morder vape shop popped up right down the street, I walked in and low to be hold their was a good friend from highschool, like the ones I was talking about earlier, working right behind the counter. We caught up and he started telling me about all the ins and outs of the pen style vape pens which for a little while was all we knew as he was only one day ahead of me at that point, a couple days later I got my first ego. A little while later I got a variable wattage device and an rda, a basic mechanical mod and rda and before I knew it I wasn’t smoking anymore. As with any story their is a sad part, things where falling apart at home. My parents where constantly in foul moods due to a failing mairrage and any little thing they could pick on bothered them. One thing led to another and my family banned me from using my ecigs in the house, weather an rda or clearomizer I was not allowed to use it but they where allowed to smoke. Acustomed to sitting on the couch in the air conditioning all day I ended up going back to some smoking, maybe half a pack a day, and the times I was out I used my ecig. Once things finally came to a head and Litteraly I was left by both parents, I could vape in the house again and so I started again full time on January of this year. Have I felt any different since I started vaping? Yes, massive differences in my cardiovascular health. Not being around second hand smoke and certainly staying away from first hand I have more than doubled my athletic abilities. Any negatives? Well, people look at me funny and such but that’s understandable as people haven’t really been exposed to the idea yet. I have had incidence of people seriously getting mad at me for vaping arguing mostly on lies. One time I had an older woman come up to me outside of a convenience store and say, Um, don’t you know those things have anti freeze in em’?. To which I responded, when I was mixing my liquid last night I don’t remember putting that in. She was very confused, 15 minutes later of talking to the woman and she started heading to the local shop to kick her own habbit. That’s my story, thanks for the read, hope it’s not that much of bore but I hope it helps future young people like me with past history with tobacco find a cure for their addiction. Thanks for your time. Ps I have seen vape help other people psychologically, PTSD and anxiety. Personally wondering if I’m one. Oh well, back to my fruity pebbles vape. 🙂
