How I became a vaper

About 5 years ago I would classify myself as a 2 or 3 cigarette a day smoker. It was right around the time that I was hearing about these things called electronic cigarettes. One day I got into a pretty heated argument with a close friend of mine and I went and bought a pack of marlboros and quickly smoked 5 back to back. After I had cooled off I thought to myself “why smoke cigarettes when I can vape on an ecig”.  I started doing as much research as I I could find and very quickly concluded that ecigs would bring me the joy of smoking with none of the risk. How dumb! Anyway I started vaping and really very quickly I went from 2 or 3 cigs a day up to vaping all day long. Ecigs didn’t smell and I could vape at my desk without anyone knowing.  I did this for a few years and even my doctor said vaping wasn’t a problem. In hindsight I think he is dead wrong!  Anyway I became a compulsive vaper and then little by little the negative news about vaping started coming out. I started reading about nicotine...in addition to being SUPER addictive it is VERY harmful. Anyway I’m on day 6 and I’m done with vaping. I know in my heart that sucking vaper into my lungs can not be healthy. My bursting blood vessels in my eyes never occurred before I vaped. It just can’t be good. Anyway I’m done with it.
