The first single pack I ever bought in a machine was 60 cents. My dad told me not to bother with the guys inside, just get his pack and get home.

If I was willing to actually go inside the same exact store the machine was out front of, I would have paid 50 cents no questions. As I learned and started abusing 6 months later. Smoked over a pack of Marlboro red per day for 26 years. Then finally a vape got me off that shit (when I could commonly buy 36MG vape juice)... Yes, its no better just different and/or worse... I am down to 3MG a day but have been unable to go below that so far.

I have tried to go to 1.5 and I end up just vaping way more looking for nicotine.... If, I hit my buddies 6, I am good for a while.

I suspect its more than an addiction, its a "requirement or necessity" at this point. I am down to a 3MG vape, which after a 3ML tank... Maybe I'll get it under control before it murders me.

I have way larger demons I fight, that one, is crutch I a willing to admit I need for today.

Average nicotine is 6-13MG each. () If you have better please demonstrate.

Today I consume about a single 3ML tank per day, at .3 MG of nicotine per ML of liquid, I get about .9 (lets call it 1) MG of nicotine per day.

This is considerably less than I get from smoking a single cigarette. (OMFG a single cig knocks me on my ass.... Like to the point of a couple beers turns into obliterated drunk) I really try not to forget my vape...

After being an avid smoker for so many years (2 packs per day at my height), today, I cannot detect the faint smells of smoke my wife or nonsmoker friends can. I was finally able to detect if an area had a significant smoke smell a few years ago and the "stench" of long ago smoked cigarettes appalled me.

Maybe I still stink today, none of my non smoking buddies say so, no one has an issue with me getting in their car (NS friends, who know Ive been vaping all day) or them in mine for a several hour trip... My buddies are fucking jarheads, we would not be gracious to each other if we stank for any reason.

We all do vape. Maybe we all stink to a non vaper, yet non of us has ever heard a word about that from anyone. (yes we discuss this intimate shit... man the fuck up with your boys if you don't, maybe its outside those who served, without re-education of some sort... mentality and all)

the nine hundred and ninety nine edits are because I have had a few smitticks.

Ya, smoking at 18 was the worst thing I ever did. I'm 57 now, I tried countless times to quit. Tried the patches several times, straight up cold turkey was the worst. I finally managed to drop cigs, bit took up Skoal Snus. Talked to my primary physician and she said the pouches were a step up, the tar is the absolute worst for the lungs. Though mouth cancer is possible. I'm still trying to break the habit.
