In south Glendale and the smell of the air is horrendous. Hard to breathe. Anyone else? Stay safe.

For anybody who’s currently going through the battle or teetering on wanting to quit this toxic relationship with nicotine vapes once and for all, it’s the best decision you can make. I was forced to quit due to viral issues related to my tongue and roughly a week after throwing all my mods away, I feel healthier then I have in months (with a few kicks in my ass on any given day). The cravings still creep up but I’ve found myself playing with a Yoyo to supplant the feeling of constantly having a vape in my hand. I’ll suck on over the counter mint flavored dry mouth lozenges to create the minty feeling of taking a hit of the menthol flavors I would smoke. I’m eating a lot more random junk food which isn’t necessarily a good thing but more manageable than trying to kick nicotine and my mind tends to float away from the idea of yearning for a hit fairly quickly. Helps that I have a supportive family thats by my side through this. I’m 43 now and health starts to kick you in the ass at this age and you gotta do what what you gotta do whether for yourself or your family or both. This nasty crap has to be ridden from our lives straight to the gutter where it belongs.

For context I have developed a tongue virus that only got worse when I vaped so I had to quit. Two days in and I feel so much better. I’ve quit cigarettes, weed and opiates in the past so I feel like I can do this. The hardest part as usual for many is figuring out what to do in those in between and periods where I would simply vape. Anyways thanks for listening.
