I’ve not vaped in 4 days and it feels like an achievement. I think the reason I suddenly stopped was because I wasn’t enjoying the flavour that I had, which is a goofy reason to stop. You’d think I’d have had some sort of profound health revelation or something, but no - it was just because I’m particular. I started vaping because in Edinburgh last year I picked up smoking cigarettes in a big way. I was a bit stressed for some of the festival, and I ended up buying a pack of cigarettes every couple of days. Then, predictably, the habit followed me back. After a while, I got sick of the smell of it (and the way it was making me feel) and vapes became a good substitute. There was a fun novelty to them, and they give you the impression of smoking.
