Seem if you tell people they keep talking about it and asking how you doing. When people are not talking about it you tend to forget about it more. Most of my friend that use to smoke all vape now not sure how safe that is as I always get a smell of strawberries or sweet smell when they are about, much better than nicotine I suppose. Ten years later and it was the best thing I did for health and cost and not to mention the bad smell that comes with them.
If you need any help I am only a message away.
Yea and smokers are horrible about pushing it on anyone who's trying to quit or has quit... Never tell them "i have quit", just say "I don't smoke". I've been pushed about it like hell when I was younger. I've had two breaks before now which lasted for months until I gave in on people pushing this shit on me. Vaping isn't even close as bad, that vapor doesn't have the gazillion poisons tobacco smoke does, depends on what's being vaped of course. Afaik nicotine isn't even the worst of it. I think carbon monoxide is likely worse. For me it takes energy away, makes me sleepy, pushes my hemoglobin through the roof and I have naturally thick blood and tendency to get heart problems. (My father has all of this and he smokes like a chimney.)
Its sixth day without any, I just went to hangout with my gf while she had a smoke and I made it, I didn't ask her to give me any. If I can manage that, then I can manage anything. Hitting one week tomorrow, that's in the past been the critical mark for me, get over it and more weeks without are like a walk in a park.
