Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. What I mean is it's not that hard to quit smoking but staying quit is the never ending struggle that proves too difficult for too many of us. I'm an expert. Like many of you, I quit smoking only to go back to it during a time of stress or because I found myself surrounded by smokers and stupidly bummed that first cigarette. I hate to admit this, but I actually quit for ten years once and I can't even remember why, but I went back to smoking. Stupid right? Now to be fair to the smoke cessation industry, I never tried to get help for my problem, I just quit cold turkey, usually after or during a bad cold (been there, have ya'?), so I can't say if I might've succeeded with a patch, or gum, or whatever magic pill they're hawking on prime time t.v. these days. What I do know is, if vaping was around when I first quit, I'd still be off cigarettes and not missing them.
Let me say something here for the record. Vaping is not a smoke cessation therapy like the patch or gum or pills. Vaping simply fills a need that smoking once did, like lollipops (anybody remember Kojak?), pencil chewing or nervous snacking (yeah, been there too). But vaping, when done properly is probably less harmful than junk food, and way less harmful than cigarettes. Quitting is up to you, it's always been up to you. If you want I've got a simple three step program.
1. Don't pick up a cigarette.
2. Don't light up a cigarette.
3. Don't puff on a cigarette.
There, I'll bill you later. But seriously, if you decide to quit, Vaping will help you stay quit. It is so like smoking cigarettes that I guarantee you once you find the right combination of vapor and vaporizer you will not only be able to resist cigarettes; you won't even want them. Vaping provides all the satisfaction of smoking (and more) but without the stinky fingers, clothes, hair, breath, car. No ashes, no butts, no burns, no having to hide from concerned loved ones or the anxiety of being discovered. Don't have to go outside. There's no second hand smoke. With vaping you can take one or two puffs at a time. No ash worms in the ashtray. NO ASHTRAY. Vaping has no calories, you don't have to gain weight, I didn't (anymore that is). Oh and it's cheaper than cigarettes. Much, much cheaper. That's right, you can get started for less than the cost of a three pack of Branded Cigarettes, and once you've got the essential hardware it'll cost you less than licorice and lollipops. Why not start with the Getting Started page, and we'll see if I can help you take that first important step. And good luck!
