The day I decided to stop committing suicide

Let me start by saying that I LOVE to smoke. It’s a horrible fact to admit, especially with today’s stigma attached to the subject, but I really enjoy it.

So this story begins about 38 years ago, when I was just a kid. My parents were kids of the 1970s, growing up in a time when smoking was normal and socially accepted. Everyone smoked and you could smoke anywhere you went, the grocery store, the restaurant you were having dinner at, work, and even the doctor’s office. Heck, even the doctor was probably smoking on the visit with you.

Now I was about 5 or 6 years old and my parents were smoking around me and I hated it. She just couldn’t stand the smell of smoke and hated smelling like smoke all the time. He would whine and whine at me begging them to stop telling them I was nasty and making me sick and of course they would respond with the normal parental response of “stop whining”. I remember one time when I was still very young, but I got into my mother’s bag and decided that I was going to make her quit. So I grabbed his pack of “Marlboros” and was going to show them to him and I flushed them down the toilet and left them floating there. Well my mom found them like that and she was mad at me. I was probably called every name in the book, but eventually she calmed down and talked to me about it. She said “it really bothers you so much huh?” Well, I just told her that it was gross and stinky and that she didn’t like going to school and smelling like smoke all day. She agreed that it was a nasty habit and that she would try to break it. Well of course, like many people who “try to quit” it didn’t really work. A couple of months after this event my mom found out that she was pregnant with what she was sure was my little brother and when she found out that she was pregnant she looked at me and said “I will grant your wish” and she never smoked again. Following my mother’s example, Mt Dad even decided to quit smoking and to this day they have never smoked again.

Fast forward about 10 years. I was around 15 years old and I already knew that I had an addictive personality, even if I didn’t know what that was at the time, I knew that I tended to indulge in whatever I found pleasing. One day I was cycling on a road (small town road) and I found a pack of cigarettes that someone must have accidentally dropped. I picked them up even though I had never had any interest in smoking. I thought I was fine with those things in my pocket. You may be thinking that it must be when he started smoking, but you would be wrong. I kept that pack of cigarettes hidden in my bedroom for months and every once in a while I would take them out, look at them, smell them and even act like I was smoking but I knew better than to light one because I knew I wouldn’t be able to stop once. that I started and I remember so many years ago how disgusting my parents smelled because of those things.

Years passed and I resisted the urge to join all my friends and all the “cool kids” and start smoking. I worked in restaurants where people smoked and took cigarette breaks while I worked but refused to smoke so I would take 5 minute air breaks where I walked away like everyone else but I didn’t smoke I just stayed over there. and breathe One day, I guess I was between 19 and 20 years old. I was coming back from a trip to Louisville, KY with a friend and he was smoking and I said fuck it, I’m going to try one and see what the fuss is about. I was about to. Since that first drag on that cigarette. Marlboro Menthol Lights I was hooked. My nerves seemed to calm down and I was relaxed and just felt content.

So for the next 18 years I was an avid smoker. Smoking between 1 pack and 2 packs a day. I had to give up my cigarettes even choosing to smoke over eat sometimes because I couldn’t afford to buy food and cigarettes.

I was married about a year and a half ago and my wife is non-smoker now, she doesn’t really complain about me for smoking and has always helped facilitate my own murder. Recently though, she had started to get frustrated with my smoking habit, worried that it would cost me an early life, so she has asked me to quit and grumbles at me every chance she gets.

Six months ago I decided she was right, I was paying 6-7 bucks a day just to KILL myself and I had to make a change. I knew she was never going to be able to quit cold turkey so I started doing some research online. I found all kinds of advice on how to quit smoking and what all these other people had tried, gum and pills, patches and hypnosis. After several failed attempts, I learned about Vaping. I found a website that told me all about this new alternative to smoking called Vaping, where people had these gadgets that would take this juice and when you hit it, it would blow out big clouds of vapor. I read a lot about the products and the benefits and drawbacks. Some will say it’s worse than smoking, some will say it’s not that bad, but it’s still horrible. After all my research, I found that vaping in general is much better for you than cigarettes. Tobacco is sprayed with tons of carcinogens and incendiaries along with a host of other deadly chemicals and then rolled into a cigarette and set on fire. That already sounds horrible.

So I decided that I was going to change. Learning that many people have switched to vaping and gradually removed nicotine from the juice they buy or make.

Once I decided to switch I still needed to find the right Vape or Mod as I found out they are called. So I went back online and started looking for the best website with the best products. That’s when I found http://www.directvapor.com/?A=1516. They had everything you can imagine. All kinds of different products ranging from beginner to advanced Vaper. At first, I chose a starter kit that had everything I needed to start vaping and quit those nasty cigarettes. I bought that kit, it was a SMOK POCKET VAPE. The service with Direct Vapor was excellent, which means the checkout process was easy, logging in was a breeze, and I even walked in during a sale and got my product at a phenomenal price. The prices there are already lower than anywhere else I could find. So the shipment was remarkable. I placed my order and immediately received a confirmation email that reviewed my order and let me know that as soon as my order shipped I would receive a follow up email. Keep in mind that I ordered my first MOD from them around 5:30 pm on a Monday night. First thing Tuesday morning I had received my tracking information, which means my package was already shipped that fast. Since that first order of business, I have been back many, many times. I have decided that Vaping is the way to go for me. So I have ordered a number of different products including newer and bigger MODs but also e-juices their options are great as well as some toolkits and items to create some of my own MODS and each time I have ordered from Direct Vapor my experience has been outstanding. I would recommend these to anyone for anytime third party vaping needs.

I have now decided to take action on my own to help others the same way I was helped by creating an all-inclusive view that gives people information on how to change or how to quit. It gives suggestions on which products you’ll need to drop and not switch to, and provides direct links to those products. It also provides information on the switch to vaping and has links to some of the most popular products and the best part is that it’s actually a forum for people to share their stories and build a community of support for each other. The name of the website is http://www.vapeslingerz.siterubix.com. The reason for the subdomain is that this is a free site that I have created just to help people along their journey and hopefully one day it will become a solid business that can grow and help more QUIETERS struggling in the way.

Here are some links if you want to start the journey to a healthier life.
