Good morning fellow NOPErs so while we stuff our faces for International Sushi Day and our Yankee friends celebrate National Go Fishing Day ( yeah-NAH you mob can keep that, I'd rather play golf and I frickin hate golf) but that thought of fishing makes me wonder, why, when sharks are immune to all known diseases has noone every used this knowledge to make a super vaccine, for everything, I mean come on people what's multiple rows of pointy teeth between mates. And did you know that the average Aussie swallows 3 spiders a year...wot the!... Guess who's sleeping with Gaffa tape on their mouth from now on. So NOPE...not on puff (or eight legged freak of nature) Ever, never again.4 points

Helping others is a great way to strengthen your own quit. What you see in others clearly, like junkie thinking, will help you see it in yourself.2 points

Went to get my prescription for my Ventolin rescue inhaler today and saw when they rung me up that the cost was zero. So instead of just keeping quiet I told them and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was generic and my insurance covered it. Since I only have generic drug coverage I've been paying $64.00 a month for it so big savings for me. THEN I cashed in a $5.00 lottery ticket and bought three more of the same tickets with the $15.00 I won AND WON $500.00!!!!!!! So all in all a pretty darn good day1 point

To combat vaping, Nebraska school district will randomly test students for nicotine http://a.msn.com/05/en-us/AAD4nyJ?ocid=se1 point

If I had to make an educated guess as to whether vaping has: a) Helped more people completely wean off nicotine b) Caused more people to become addicted to nicotine .......I'm pretty sure "b" would win hands down.1 point

Nicotine has its own negative effects on the body. Taking it in tobacco form just makes it worse (because of thousands of additional chemicals). The fact exists that even with e-cigarettes, Nicotine is being administered in the body. I think Big Tobacco exploits the fact that some consumers of Nicotine may think that "I've quit smoking cigarettes, so I'm safe" and push other Nicotine products which they (Big Tobacco) claim are safe as an alternative to smoking while they (Big Tobacco) are fully aware that Nicotine is harmful no matter what the source. After all which business would want their consumers to stop using their products? There would be no profit in that. Its all about educating oneself about Nicotine and using the knowledge as a tool to stay off it. Some may use alternatives to cigarettes to get their Nicotine fix and eventually taper it off to zero, while others may just quit only cigarettes. So, you make a good point about what the quitter wants to achieve. Quitting is easier said than done though, I still get my craves, although they have reduced in frequency as compared to around 2 weeks ago. I have also thought, may be I should just have one, that will help me, but I know that's the junkie way of thinking and I'm scared of relapsing into a full blown addiction to cigarettes again, remind myself why I quit, and so I don't bother going to the shop and buying that one cigarette.1 point
