Re: O/T I mentioned smoking? This is my solution
I quit for many years while my son was growing up. Then major stress taking care of my mom for many years basically drained me and I started a few bad habits to cope.
But, the e-smoking. I enjoy it. I think it is very enjoyable, fun, quite a conversation piece, not banned anywhere, It is like a toy and a cigarette at the same time. It is also fun to meet the other e-smokers. I have a new friend in Dallas that was the one who first mentioned it on this forum. We share what new things we learn. I think, for me, it is a positive. It definitely won't hurt my self esteem. Google "benefits of nicotine" You'd be surprised.
To me it is like somebody making a great, rich, sugary recipe and saying "I took all of the calories out" Ha Ha. Well with this, I feel all of the "calories" really WERE taken out. Its kind of a smoker's dream come true. At least a growing # of us.
But, quitting is good too and I certainly respect people who do that. I remember how many tries it took me when I was young to do it.
