Re: Force of habit
now it's just dealing with the psychological part. I don't expect I'll ever get completely over that.
Yeah that part is a bitch. Even with the nicotine I find that I miss the act of smoking.
Anyway glad to hear it and kudos.

Anecdotal Report
So vaping didn't work out. I developed some kind of pleurisy or pneumonia or something after about 3 months. I didn't feel short of breath but I sounded like darth vader under water. It took about 4 days to clear up after I stopped.
On the bright side I managed to quit vaping and I have a bunch of vaping gear and 20 vials of juice available for sale. I wonder could you use the juice to bake with? I might be able to quit smoking if I can eat chocolate chip cherry pipe flavoured cookies all day. Or whiskey flavoured nicotine brownies.

Re: Anecdotal Report
So if I can't bake with it could I use it as an eau de toilette behind the ear or if I rub it on my feet will it kill the fungus that lives there before being adsorbed into the blood stream?

Re: Anecdotal Report
I know this is from way back, but one thing I found out about is 'PG Free vap'. They use vegetable oil rather then proplene glycol because some people can not tolarate PG.
If you went back to smoking, you might want to consider PG free stuff.
What?!.. and change my habits in exchange for a couple of decades? Seems a bit risky.
I would certainly try any reasonable alternative to smoking that didn't involve some perception of personal sacrifice.
I can't remember now exactly but I think what I was using had a mix of the 2. One gives you the bite and the other gives you the visual smoke.
Unfortunately, my governments have all decided that it should be difficult for me to access the otherwise available options. No doubt that I could find it if I decided to but I haven't followed the product development since my initial experience.
It's a shame really. I buy gray market cigarettes because the taxes are unreasonable when I would gladly pay twice as much for a healthier option that actually satisfied.
It's a strange thing. I fully appreciate the irrationality of the habit and yet I remain captivated.
