QuittingGirl

There must be some extra chemicals in the vape stick that makes it much worse. I didn't cough much when I smoked. A little in the morning but that was it, unless I had a cold or flu.

I know, totally horrific! I think vaping is even worse than smoking, if that's even possible!

Hi Debbie, Welcome to the Train! So glad that you decided to quit vaping. The other day I saw an article on the NY Post about a young woman who loved vaping until her lungs collapsed and black goo poured out of her. I was going to upload it here so everyone could read it, but I didn't have a chance, but right now seems the perfect time for you and everyone else to read the article. I think when you read this, you will stay away from vaping forever. Like smoking, vaping is an addiction and you can definitely quit. It's not easy, but so doable. I was a smoker for about 40 years. This is the 2nd and last time that I am quitting for good. What helped me in the beginning was taking cinnamon sticks and pretending they were cigarettes. I would suck the air in and make believe I was smoking. The cinnamon tasted a thousand times better than any cig that I ever smoked. I bought myself a whole bag of the sticks and would keep one in my purse and a few scattered around the house so I would always have one handy. If you don't like cinnamon, cut up plastic straws work well too. Please read the article below, because after you read it, I don't think you will ever want to vape again. Best of luck to you, and please keep coming on here so we can give you support. This group of people helped me through many many difficult times in the beginning. If it wasn't for them, I don't think I would have been able to do it. https://nypost.com/2024/09/16/lifestyle/vaping-addict-finally-quit-when-lungs-collapsed-black-goo-came-out/

It's going up to 85 today in the Big Apple! I am not very happy about that. They are saying that starting on Sunday it's supposed to cool down into the lower 70s with low humidity. Not sure I believe them. Lately the weather people are also like politicians, a bunch of hot air....LOL!!!

You did it Gene, you got to a month quit!!! That's so great! Congratulations!!! You are doing really well. Keep up the great work!! Onward to month 2
