Former smoker who switched to vaping 15 years ago (unflavored e-juice via liquid synthetic nicotine concentrate+ PG/VG)…

Nah, it’s fucking gross. I was exposed to many smokers from a young age, including close relatives and in enclosed spaces. Found myself addicted and craving cigs before I’d ever smoked one, even though I hated the smoke and the smell. FYI - smoking around your kids at all, let alone without being in a well ventilated environment, should be considered child abuse.

I smoked for a decade before switching to vaping, and don’t miss it at all. I don’t hate the nicotine, just burning stinky cigarettes, and to this day it makes me gag.

    That happened to me as well. Most of my family smoked, so I was exposed to it constantly. One day, I noticed it just didn’t stink quite as bad as it used to.

    So of course, I started. By the time I was in high school, I couldn’t concentrate or focus unless I smoked. I was so dumb; I had no idea what addiction was.
