Troubadour Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hi everyone, hope everyone's vapping well. Well it started 30 years ago behind my buddy's dad's shop. When my buddy came up to me and opened his hand and said, "you want to go smoke it" at first I said no but did it anyway. So started my 30 year love hate relationship with cigarettes. I really never felt any effects from smoking until I hit my 40's,I'm a lead singer in a band The Troubadours it got to the point I felt like I was going to pass out on the stage during the first few songs of a gig. I couldn't even walk to the mail box without being out of breath. Smoking was effecting every part of my life one of the most important things it was effecting was sex I didn't have the energy to. I'd be out of breath before it got started. I knew I had to quit but couldn't fine anything that could help me quit smoking. I tried everything from patches to the pill even the e cigs you buy at the stop and go store nothing worked. Even after watching friends and Family members take their last breath in the Hospital from the damage that smoking did to them. I remember leaving the hospital after my father-in-law died from complications brought on by smoking. My wife and I were walking to our car and the first thing we did was light a cigarette. I looked at her and said, "What the hell are we doing we have to quit" and she said," yes I don't want our kids to have to go through what we just had to". So a year went by still smoking. Then one night about 3 months ago around 2 in the morning I had to wake my wife and 3 kids 12,10,and 5 up to take me to the hospital cause I couldn't breath after test were run the doc came in and said everything looks ok but, and I thought I hate when a doctor says but anyway she said after looking at the x-rays and listen to your lungs your lungs sound like a 70 year old man and if you don't quit smoking you'll probably be dead by the time your 60. I've heard the doctors quit smoking routine for years but this time it hit me like a ton of bricks. We left the hospital and the next Friday I started vapping I have not touched or wanted a cigarette since. It is incredible how better I feel the first week I notice my voice was getting stronger the first gig we played I didn't feel like I was going to pass out on stage and now after a 9 weeks of vapping mom and daddy time is so much better actually everything is getting better praise GOD food taste better i've got a ton of energy I can smell better I'm not waking in the morning hacking my lungs up. vapping may or may not be a totally healthy thing to do but it's a 1000 times better then what I was doing before I found vapping. My wife and I are now in the process of opening a vape store here where we live in NC so we can spread the vape. Happy vapping everyone.

Love2VapeDaily Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 congratulations on quitting and welcome to vt. hey just an idea but i wonder if you hung a plaque or something in your soon to be store about you quitting if other people would read it and try vaping instead of dismissing it like most smoker's do, like i did until i tried a ego kit. my counter down below says the rest.
