Smoking

I agree, many do go from fags to them, but why would you allow adverts for what you could term as 21st century smoking?

Its the advertising I don't get, you are still getting addicted to a drug, legally!

As I say, I am an ex smoker so maybe that don't help.

Not if you vape 0mg nicotine like me your not getting addicted to any drug

Sometimes it's the mere habit of smoking rather than the chemical being ingested.

I smoked 40 a day for 15 years up until 6 month ago when I discovered vaping, I bought a set up with high nicotine and after a week wondered what would happen if I cut the nicotine out.................nothing happened I carried on vaping as normal, I think with alot ,if not most smokers think they are addicted to the drug when in fact you can be over it in a matter of days but the "action" of smoking is the hard part to quit.
 
To add, I have tried everything in the book to quit from , tabs to patches to tablets from my doctor to reading stop smoking books etc etc etc and the longest I lasted off them was 3 days, started vaping and havent looked back , it has almost become a hobby that I enjoy more than smoking, I love different juices depending on my mood or If im on the drink etc
It is without doubt the closest substitute to smoking you can get BUT it just means you have to quit all over again if you want to stop vaping lol

Yes I will second that, I found the action of smoking as hard as the nicotine when quitting.

Smoked for near on 30 years, stopped now for nearly 10 but I still miss it. I have my son home from china at the moment and he's smoker, roll-ups, sometimes its just the paraphernalia, the tin, papers, lighter, that gets to me.
 
From the other side of the coin ...

One of my grandmothers lived till she was 93 - she gave up smoking in her mid 80's having been on 60 a day for a fair few years - she was down to around 20 when I got going.

Back in the day, there was a token in her packet of cigarettes. The token was a playing card. You had to collect all 52 individual cards (no duplicates) then you could send off for a free pack of cards. She sent off for several packs - and they were decent paper too, not cheap rubbish.

Anyway, if you could get 52 of these 52 packs you could send off for a bridge table. Bear in mind, duplicate tokens weren't allowed.

Grannie sent off for two bridge tables!! :)
