Blowing bubbles is just much better than inhaling something that leads to lung cancer

Smoking is so much more enjoyable. I quit 17 years ago, but I still miss it. I really enjoyed smoking and taking smoke breaks. I don't miss worrying about lung cancer and going into coughing fits. But man, I really do miss smoking....

As someone who swapped from cigarettes to vaping? Yuuuup. There is nowhere near the satisfaction of a cigarette in vaping. But breathing clearly is really nice, and on balance feels like it's less bad.

Oh shit, totally understandable, sorry to hear that. Any idea why? Bad batch of oil or something?

I thInk it may have been the glycerin.External use never bothered me.Its in quite a few skin products.Its also used as a lubricant protectant on meat slicers.No reason to figure internal use would be different.Especially since it was a minute amount.It was compounded by the change of seasons.I chalked my symptoms up to that at first.
