Lauren Boebert: Hold my vape.
If the phrase "Hold my vape" takes off I might actually be motivated to quit vaping. (I know I should anyways but I'd rather not die of embarrassment first.)
They didn't have vapes when I quit smoking and people do tell me it's helped them quit, but considering all the flavors of vape juice out there, I'd probably have ended up vaping more than I ever smoked because it tasted so good.
if nothing else, they're a hell of a lot cheaper than smokes are.
I quit back in 2000 when you could get GPCs for like $1.50 a pack if you were desperate enough for shitty cigarettes, so that wasn't the problem at the time. But that would also definitely make me vape more if that were the case back then.
It definitely helped me quit. It's easy enough to reduce the amount of nicotine you're consuming gradually, then when you do stop it's not as dramatic of a change for your body. I did vape more than I smoked because it's delicious and very easy to just keep hitting it without really thinking.
That makes sense. I was able to quit because where I worked, literally everyone smoked. The whole office was a cloud of smoke. So I got a ton of it second-hand. It still wasn't easy to quit, but I am absolutely sure that was how I was able to do it.
