Well it has been 4 years for me as a non smoker. Have I been tempted...hell yea......have I been successful being a non smoker....hell yea but not without those moments that had me struggling at times. What people think of what I say here is important to me, as I do rally for all of us to quit, or continue to quit and even continue to try if that is the goal! By me posting here I am saying I care, and kudos are just that......unconditional!! If you are reading this, then you are human......imperfect. What cannot be taken from any one of us?.....is our accomplishments! So I applaud you "quitters" as I affectionately refer to you all and myself as.
If vaping helps you then vape! Not smoking carcinogens surely is a healthy alternative. I will never diminish nor push you backwards from where you proudly stand! On ward and up ward!! I agree with the OP here, and its about giving support, and my own twist is adding respect for peoples choices on how they quit. Why you do this or how you do this is part of what leads you to learn and grow. I think that is beautiful!
