What’s with all the twenty-somethings out there puffing incessantly on your e-cigarette… would it kill you to try a little willpower or effort and quit without the expensive contraption? How is sucking nicotine into your face 24/7 considered quitting anyway? You couldn’t at least try the hard way first? Cmonnnnnn. —After 8 years I quit the hard way and it wasn’t that hard.

I’d give you a pat on the back for quitting, but if you’re going to throw it in people’s faces and tell them how easy it was for you then you don’t deserve it. You also sound like a 30/40 something tool who likely uses the phrase “the problem with kids these days ” a lot.
I glued 2 vape pens to the back of my skateboard so it looks like I have dual exhaust.
Because quitting takes time. I don’t smoke but i know lots of people who do or have quit. The nicotine is not better but it is better for us people who have to deal with the chemical effects and reek of second hand smoke. Its not just about quitting some people do it out of respect for the rest of us. Sincerely a person who’s lungs collapse when disgusting smokers walk by her because her body cant handle it. Everyone should switch to vapes. Grats on only destroying the lungs of people around you for 8 years.
its because its a conversation piece. something they can prattle on about and get the notice and face time they are desperately craving. another sad “LOOK AT ME” attempt. every day on the bus ride home theres some pretention twat talking about their favourite flavours and how they are safer than cigarettes long term (no proof) etc etc etc….give it the fuck up. I smoked 2 packs a day and quit cold turkey when i coughed up a large ball of congealed blood one morning. My wife quit cold turkey and was in her early 20’s. They dont want to give up the nic fit. they want that and wont give it up. and all the while, they have something to chat about like idiots whenever they can.
