Hi, I've started smoking when I'm 15. Quit alot of times in between for girlfriend, for god, for health but failed.

Then, I started vaping in 2015 using vape pods & US juices that contain 3mg,0mg of nicotine. Afrer 1,2 weeks of vaping without smoking cigarettes, I tried to light up a cigarette but then, the smell,taste of cigarettes smoke disgusted me. Then I just continue vaping but, sometimes dreamt of smoking cigarettes.

In 2019, I bought a vape pen that it have a cartridge that already contain juice and 3mg of nicotine. After having few puff of these new product, I felt nausea and wonder how they calculate 3mg because it felt like overdose of nicotine. Then by 2020 during covid-19 lockdown, I was in Singapore for 2 years and couldn't get a vaping product as it is illegal there. Until today I was smoke, vaping free.

    1st, hopefully a new product that's better than smoke,vapor (maybe fog, haze) will be invented.
    2nd, it will only be sold at pharmacies or clinics that will keeps records of patients so that, teenagers will not easily get thier hands on it and abuse it as a new trend for them.
    3rd, after getting rid of cigarettes smell/taste, try to get rid of nicotine.
    4th, After get rid of nicotine, try to get rid of the habit of long inhaling of smoke,vapor coming out of our mouth,nostril.

    Great job on giving up both smoking and vaping. We can do it when we put our minds to it and hopefully you will stay permanently quit this time. I imagine your daughter can fill those "voids" these days. Congratulations!

    You also speak of making it less accessible to the next generation. Remember that you will be your daughters closest mentor, be a good role model. This in itself should prove to be the strongest hold on your new determination. All the best to you.
