I don't know if you two know (altusadmin kyliecharles ) how important your 'testimonies' are here. I quit smoking 13 years ago, but I must admit there is an emotional draw towards Juul. And they know just how to sell it. Even with the very pointed "Juul contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive substance" at the end. It's still enticing. Fun flavors? Oh yeah! Fortunately I have learned how incredibly addictive nicotine is (the hard way) and I never want to be it's slave again. That fear of leaving the house without cigarettes. The constant thinking about them. That desperate need! Once you grasp that it's an addiction and not just a "bad habit," you're on your way to being able to overcome it.
What you're both saying is so important because it's acting as a deterrent for those who have quit, yet are contemplating beginning vaping.
A 7 year quit and to try vaping "as a lark" and get hooked on it....
A 30 year quit and " After first trying to share every piece of information on how bad vaping is and trying to get her to stop, I ended up trying it and liking it and loving it."
I hope those here who have quit smoking and are reading this will refrain from trying it. I almost tried it a couple of years ago. Well, no, not really. A friend had a vape pen stuck away in a drawer and I asked to see it. He asked if I wanted to try it. I almost RAN out of the room I was so afraid. All the red flags went up. I've learned my lessons well! May others see the warning flags for themselves.
