I am 118 days analog-free. Of course, being the caring soul that I am, I have suggested and touted e-cigs to many people. I have been able to turn several, including my mother (a 50 year smoker!!) but I have also had several nay-sayers ask "so when are you going to quit that thing too? youre still addicted, just replacing one bad thing for another"
Does anyone else get this from people? Grrr it makes me SO mad! Where's the support you nay-sayers?? What the heck do you WANT from us former smokers???? We're trying, sheesh!
OMG yes! The smell is horrible!
I am an EMT with the ambulance service in my county, and now, when I get in the back with a patient who smokes, or have to go into a house where a patient smokes, it literally makes me nauseous!
It's just this awful putrid smell that actually burns my nose, I am appalled to realize that is how I use to smell.
My lovely sweet husband told me recently that he never would say anything about the smell (he's a non-smoker) but that he is so glad I quit because he says I smell awsome now. He says even my hair smelled that way! Gross! I notice, now, he will come up and put his nose in my hair and hug me....quite often. Something he never use to do.
The e-cig has not just given me my life and health back, it has given me special things in my marriage that have brought he and I closer. I tear up when I think or talk about it what I missed out on.
If smokers only KNEW what it's like to NOT be imprisoned by those cancer sticks! And how wonderfully tasty the e-cig is! Wish I could convert them all! Im trying, one by one, starting with those close to me.
I recently was able to convert my best friend and my mother! Im so proud of them both!
