NOPE (congratulations catlover)

I made three attempts to quit smoking by switching over to vaping. I initially thought it was great because it calmed my cravings (I know that is BS now) and I didn't smell like cigarettes. I eventually felt like I was vaping more than I was smoking (taking in more nicotine probably) and started feeling really sick, worse than when I smoked. Each attempt lasted about two weeks before I went back to smoking regular cigarettes. Based strictly on personal experience, I would not recommend switching to vaping as a way to quit smoking. Great point. I know several people from my high school and college days (roughly 40 years or slightly older now) who never would have light up a cigarette back in the day who are regular vapers now. Doesn't sound much different than smoking to me.

Great job, Octain! Congratulations on half a year smoke free!

NOPE - smoking sucks! Happy Friday, everybody!

You did a great job in posting an SOS, GITW. I'm sorry for all that you are going through but as everyone here knows, lighting up a cigarette will only make things worse. Please don't smoke. You have an awesome quit going. Nothing is worth throwing that away.
