Feeling down

Hi there @Susie9 ...I started smoking at age  14, and aside from stopping when I was pregnant and then breastfeeding, I continued to smoke heavily until about age 55. I then gave up (sort of)...I still smoked when severely stressed and the between half a ciggie and half a pack of ciggies...it varied. Then my daughter got me onto E cigarettes, or vaping. I was able to get the  nicotine liquid online, but then stopped that, and now I just have a nicotine free mixture bought locally. It has a lovely banana, mango and caramel flavour, but you can get literally dozens of flavours. Menthol. liquorice, tobacco, apple and so on. I still get the hand / mouth gratification and the drawing in (I call it my Sucky Machine), of basically steam vapour, and then the visible blowing out of what appears to be smoke. So that whole ritual of the hand mouth thing, the sucking in and then the blowing out thing is still there. The cost is less than a quarter of cigarettes at the same volume and there is no ashtray smell on you or your clothing. No yellow fingers, and no tobacco breath. No tar, no carbon monoxide. I really suggest you give it a go. Since using the vape, I have not had even one drag on a real cigarette, despite going through the whole shitfest of the cancer gig including both tits getting the Big Chop and being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. I'm now 60 and  ciggie free. Sending a big hug (((hug))).
