Tomorrow will be 6 years since I smoked a cigarette. I had been a smoker on and off from the time
I was in high school till 6 years ago, I quit for 4 and 5 years in there at
different times but 6 years ago I decided after my oldest son caught me smoking
to give it up for a year. I gave it to
myself for my birthday, it was a one year contract that I had with myself. I then continued to give myself that
gift. That time I quit was easy, as I was
doing it for my kids and for me. Don’t get
me wrong there were times when I really wanted to light up, especially when faced
with stress, but each day it got a bit easier and the cravings less. Which brings me to the e-cigarettes that are
now seemly everywhere, is that just trading one habit for another habit? Are the people who are “smoking” these doing
good for themselves? I have a friend who
used them for awhile to try to quit, it didn’t work he smoked both the e and
regular cigarette now just the regular.
I am now hearing that these are causing cancer similar to regular
cigarettes. I am also bugged by the fact
that users of these feel like they can do it anywhere, like the grocery
store.
