Vaping is a GOOD Thing!

Rodrigo Duterte of Philippines is looking to ban e-cigarettes from his country, just as President Trump was mulling over the same here in the U.S. Mostly reacting to his wife, Melania's emotional
take on vaping and kids, which is mostly against the law already, he thankfully is the Chief Executive and NOT a lawmaker, so hopefully Congress and the courts will block him on this just as they have anything decent he has attempted for the country. I smoked from junior year in high school, which was odd for someone who ran track, but I also had an after track job, which meant a lot of bored time on the clock, which caused me to light up with co-workers. Then I would grab a smoke out behind the school in the mornings with friends before class. Most kids were smoking pot in the same area, so I am sure my teachers thought I smelled more of weed than tobacco.
   I finally quit a few years ago, as I was no longer working a job that made smoke breaks necessary and smoking in the modern era is a chore that I am not up for. I DID take up vaping as I was gaining weight, not because I missed smoking itself so much as I guess i had an oral fixation which meant that the cig to mouth thing had been more of a habit than anything else. E-cigs proved perfect for me. No stench, no fuss, no obligation to smoke until the cig was completed or to make certain it was out before heading back to work. I still purchase flavored disposables from White Cloud, the best product I've found thus far. I messed around a bit with the kits, and am frankly too lazy to be bothered. I never seemed to get things exactly right, and smoking had never been "work" for me, so the convenience of a disposable is just right. Your mileage might vary. I DO hope that whatever lobby it is that is pushing to ban vaping would cut it out, though. Vaping is fine, does no one any damage, and has helped many ex-smokers, including myself. Kids will find ways to harm themselves no matter what adults do. It's been that way since the beginning of time.
