You’re a fake ass friend Nicotine

Goodbye forever you bitch! I knew better than to be friends with you! It started as a fad, getting zero nicotine vapes to look cool on high school spring break. With the drinks in college came the nicotine. With the ADHD diagnosis came the dependence on n

Goodbye Letter

When I started smoking it was to be less stressed. I knew you were taking my families wealth and health but I ignored the “what ifs” and listened to you every puff. I will not let you take my life as well. I know the end game with you & I am finished with

The pain of quitting…or not quitting

Hello!

Today is my first day trying to fully quit vaping. After a classically long on/off relationship with vaping I’ve had to admit to myself how toxic it has become for me.

Goodbye Vape

For so long I never thought I would ever think about quitting but here I am. Started vaping/smoking cigarettes at such a young age. Now I'm at a point in my life where my health is far more important than what I like to think of as my stress reliever. As

I made it a whole week without nicotine! My first whole week without since I started 10 years ago.

It’s time to say goodbye

I picked up my first cigarette at the age of 12, due to wanting to be like everyone around me. I thought to myself; all of my friends think  it’s cool. So why shouldn’t I be cool like them? And, at first it was nasty, disgusting, and even choked me. But f
