No, no, but you wrote in Post# 8

When I first read, ‘I quit..’ you scared me. I thought you had gotten mad about something and was quitting FR! You’re one of our best.

Thanks, I appreciate that, but I did not write the article, Derek Hunter did. I only posted the article. Besides I am a she.

I knew you didn’t write it, I just saw ‘ I quit’ and thought it was you quitting. :)

I’m surprised, I always thought you were a ‘he’.

People always took my handle, ‘Patriot 08’ for a ‘he’ until I put as my tag, ‘girl type’ lol

Some people can make cold turkey and others cannot and end up smoking again even after many attempts to quit. Vaping as I believe it is called allows you get nicotine in decreasing strengths till you can just stop. It worked wonderfully for my daughter, she had tried quitting before but always ended up going back to cigs. Plus the vaping nicotine juice does not have all the other chemicals found in cigs. She vaped for just a little over a month.

If I was a smoker and if I didn’t want to quit I would switch to Vaping; no smoke particles entering lungs, no other nasty chemicals found in cigs, and a fraction of the cost.

I am just so happy my daughter quit and so very proud of her.

I smoked for about 40 years. 15 years ago after a bout with triple pneumonia, I had my last cigarette. My dad did about the same thing (without the pneumonia) and lived to be 91. Let me tell you, even though I’m cancer free my lungs don’t allow me to be as active as I should be at 68. If a giant meteor were headed to earth, I wish I had a carton of cigarettes and if not I wish I would have quit 40 years earlier.

Congrats to your daughter. The important thing is, SHE QUIT!! Good for her.

My SIL visited recently and was doing the vapor thing. IN the house. It still smells.
