  • You’re no fun at all.

    You talk about it like it’s such a big problem. It’s just a slightly harmful addiction. And if there’s no danger, where’s the fun? All the good things in life are at least slightly dangerous or harmful. Drugs, acohol, partying, sex, traveling, even sports and recreational activities. I am aware of the harm, and fine with it. I could spend my life thinking about preserving it, eating healthy, going to the gym, watching my hormone levels and nutrition. But that would be hell. Why live for a long time if every minute of that life is spent worrying about it ending? Why worry? Taking calculated risks is a part of life. The pitfall is not knowing the risk and still taking it.

    Or at least that’s how I see it.

    My feelings have little to nothing to do with my state of mind. I can feel no joy in life and know that it is worth living. I don’t need a therapist. All the “Mental Health Professionals” I worked with were unable to handle me. So what? I don’t have my shit together, and I probably never will. Why should I pretend that THIS is the part of life I should worry about? I have bigger problems than quitting smoking or being happy. For now, it’s an unhealthy coping mechanism, and I’m fine with it.

    But, you know, thanks for the motivational speech and all. 👍





  • So it’s nothing new. I was hoping for something new.

    I could just quit cold turkey. I have that type of mental fortitude. But smoking is literally one of the… I think three joys that I have in my life. So I’m a bit apprehensive about giving up one of the few things that makes me less miserable.

    And before you ask, all of my “joys of life” can be classified as addictions.

    Maybe that’s the problem… I literally have nothing that makes me happy and is healhy. I’ll look into that. Thanks for making me think about it.











  • I haven’t been insulted like this in literal years. I did think of it. In fact, I would do it if it was possible.

    You know what, I’ll just rant at you, because I can.

    I live with two other smokers in an apratment that is around 28 square meters. I can’t convince them to smoke outside (I tried for years, actually decades). Me smoking outside would change nothing.

    Just so you know, the two mentioned smokers are very upset to be mentioned here.

    Smoke whatever you want wherever you want. Just don’t assume everyone’s situation is the same. I never asked for health advice, just tech advice. It is painful to read comments from all these self righeous pricks telling me how to live my life (no offense, your comment just happened to be the straw that broke the camel’s back). If I want to die from lung cancer, that is my choice. If I want to smoke inside an apartment that is already considered a “hotbox” by most standards (even without me smoking inside), then you can bet your pretty face I will.

    Thank you for your imput. Hope it goes well with quiting vaping. Cheers.
