vaping

Storytime with arfs:

I smoked for something like 25y. The day I found out my wife was pregnant, I quit. It's been close to 2y now. Haven't had a smoke since.

I was super-skeptical of e-cigs (and hated them), but nevertheless I got one. Took a few months to get used to, but it has helped immensely.

I was surprised to see no such channel existed on farcaster, and I think a support network for anyone trying to quit, or people with questions, or just a channel for vapers in general, should definitely be a thing here. 

So here we are. Enjoy responsibly! 😺🚭

Nicely done Arf! I'm almost 7 years quit myself. I quit all of it, smoking, vaping, and nicotine consumption of any kind. 

For me it was when my son was 3 and we went outside to go drive and pick up my wife and he asked "daddy are you having smoke before we get mommy?" 

It just killed me inside and I prepared for a few weeks after that and quit cold turkey. Smoking is so bad man, great job on kicking the habit.

Appreciate it bro! It was definitely hard at first, but now I don’t even bat an eye or have a thought/craving about them thankfully. 

It’s wild in hindsight, we pay a lot of money to speed up the rate at which we die, just for some “stress relief?” 

When we know that it’s really not relief with what it’s doing to our bodies, only gives a little temporary feeling of relief.

I’m happy that most kids these days are moving away from it. I told my son that if he doesn’t smoke/vape that I’ll give him $1000 on his 18th birthday. So far it’s enough $ to keep him happy with the bet, although with inflation I suspect that may change through his teenage years 🤣

Thank you so much brother! And thanks for sharing your story! 🙏

That's amazing to hear how you quit, and kudos for that. Couldn't have been easy, but I'm so glad to hear you've kicked it all now. Cold turkey is hard but best, I did that too--no prep though, just decided and quit.

It's the whole combustion & tar & chemicals thing that really got to me. Didn't want my house reeking of fucking smoke while my wife was pregnant, nor my daughter to be exposed to any of that second hand crap.

Thanks Char, this time it's forever. I had done 1.5 years quit like 20 years ago, but after I got going on this one I knew it was for good! 💜 💜
