A little pressure washing; a lot of tobacco cessation talk

You weren’t getting enough nic when you Vaped. I had zero cravings for anything else. You want to have a little buzz at first

Idk i even used the “salt” stuff its super high in nic.

2nd story wasp nests, washing the underside of 2nd story decks without being under them, washing 1 and 2 story deck railing without being right next to it getting sprayed back from all the pockets. Spraying soap and rinsing 2nd story dormers ok windy days. List goes on!

Man to think I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time if a 8 foot Lance is good I’m going to see if I can find a 16 foot that way I don’t need that ladder… I’ll have to get a longer truck too

The point is you could have done it in under 3.

All joking aside I think we all have some long lances I know I have a couple, better to have tools and not need them than to need them and not have them I do think my longest is about 7 or 8 foot though and it’s damn near brand new hardly ever use it

Yep, a long lance has it’s uses. Spraying a few inches from a wall of siding isn’t one of 'em.

You can cure all your cravings by jamming a half can of Copenhagen in your lip. Works wonders for me. :blush:

You so right. Kids can’t bring a peanut without contaminating the whole school and putting everyone in quarantine. Different world man…

We did it in 2nd grade

I started smoking in high school, forced to quit during boot camp for 11 weeks, and then picked up a pack and can of dip at the airport on the way home from leave. Young and dumb then. I did both while in and quit dipping shortly after I got out. Continued smoking and probably more than 2 packs a day. I was probably 38 when I decided to try to vape. The place told me to start at 12 mgs. Had a little bit of nicotine withdrawals but not bad. Instantly went down to probably 10 smokes a day and then to zero within a week. I mixed my own juice too so gradually dropped by 1 mg. Within a year I was down to zero mgs of nic. I’ve tried the gum, patches, zyban, and chantix but vaping is by far the best quit smoking aid ever. I still keep it around and use it on occasion but go days without it. I could throw it away and be fine so don’t know why I haven’t. I still enjoy it every now and then.

@Kps0410 If you struggle with quitting it’s definitely something to consider as a quit smoking aid. I’ve known many people who have been able to completely quit both smoking and then vaping. It makes it so much easier.

I quit smoking 6 years ago by vaping. I still use it sometimes when I’m stressed. Better than smoking!

You got that right. I felt better within the first month of switching over. I’m sure we don’t known all the negative health effects of vaping yet but it has to be a safer alternative. I still enjoy vaping on occasion but, as you mentioned, it’s mainly if I’m stressed or something. It’s just makes me feel better even though I have zero nicotine in the thing. Like a lot of things it’s just all mental. I’m sure I could throw it in the garbage without issues but I still enjoy it at times. You’re right, sure beats smoking.

I use the jungle juice flavor. Has a little nicotine. But has a menthol feel.

I smoked menthols back in the day and I would cough up black stuff in the shower every morning. My dads got early COPD and I want no part of that! I enjoy walking to the tree stand carrying a bow and not an O2 tank!

I have a 3’ lance that I use once or twice/year, does that count?

You guys just need to try Grizzly Dark in the long cut wintergreen. Delightful.

I don’t think I’ll ever quit chewing tobacco, probably because I’m not really afraid of it doing anything. Weird thing is, I don’t even really like it. But don’t care to quit either.
