minus-squareeMarginalia@social.vivaldi.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down1·8 days ago@WatDabney @themeatbridge You got it right! I went from Skoal to those home-brew vape juices when…about 2010 or 11. Hardly vaped, just put it on a pad under my lip. Hated the taste of burning cigarettes, loved some of those fruit flavours. Finally my drug tasted good. Flavour for an old man, not the kids. Quit 3 years ago and still crave. Horrible time. Quit alcohol 15 years ago with less problems. But quitting is just terrible, no matter the drug. Somebody who hasn’t struggled with addiction doesn’t get much cred in these discussions, from me.
