I was chatting up someone in email today about how I quit smoking. I quit in a very unconventional and incorrect way. lol. But I quit! I do not smoke anymore. I made a post here a couple of weeks ago about smoking and being fat, basically being a form of suicide. I couldn’t exercise while still inhaling smoke into my lungs; and without exercise, the weight just doesn’t come off, period.
But like the weight loss thing, with quitting smoking I never gave up. I’ve quit more times than I can remember with every method that is out there. Well, instead of joining the “it’s the smoker’s right to enjoy cigs and kill themselves” advocacy group (yep, there are advocacy groups for people to keep smoking just like there are the fat acceptance groups); I found this little place on the web. If you are interested, go to their “Titan 510″ product (which, as an ex-smoker I find the most satisfying in terms of vapor output and realism). These really aren’t ment to be “quit smoking” devices, but rather a new generation of “cigarettes.” No smoke, no complaining about the second hand smell and toxins from non-smokers, and did I mention NO SMOKE?? Nope, just water vapor. The whole thing works on the same principle as a disco fog machine. These are completely tobacco free, and if you like, they can be nicotine free as well so that you can just enjoy the nice flavors they offer without nicotine.
I, of course, love my nicotine. I love my nicotine and caffeine. That hot cuppa with a nice full e-cig cartridge, blowing around water vapor everywhere in the morn, wow, talk about a satisfying way to greet the day. I’m an adult, why should I not be able to enjoy both of these perfectly natural substances? The doctor says there isn’t much harm in just using nicotine. Plus, I have to tell you, nicotine without the burning smoke that contains 4000 other chemicals, nicotine by itself, in my opinion, in my experience, is not even half as addicting as when it is paired up with the burning smoke. Seriously. My nicotine use is way down from when I was smoking and the truth is, I haven’t even made an attempt to reduce nicotine, it just happened naturally when I stopped smoking real cigs.
Believe it or not, these e-cig thingies were so easy to switch to. When I think of all the other times I quit smoking and what kind of living hell it was to stop; switching to an e-cig was so easy I’m surprised some moral nanny hasn’t tried to ban it yet.
Life is so good not being a slave to the tobacco companies and their B.S. product that is nothing but a slow suicide device. I can breathe! I can move! And I can still enjoy, and I mean ENJOY, puffing and blowing “smoke rings” and everything else we smokers love to do, without a death sentence and without other people complaining about us.
