e-cigarettes and kilt hose

Wow! I dig those hose. But the e-cig is what's helping my wifey cheat me out of her life insurance policy. I have mixed feelings about that pic.

I don't think there's any question it makes a difference Gayle, but I'm not home and can't ask my son the particulars. These things deliver nicotine, so they address the severe addiction, but nicotine only. What they blow out is vapor. Both my two boys were smokers and while still addicted to nicotine, have their breath back, and the $ they used to spend on cigarettes. It's a bit strange to me, as I quit cold turkey many many years ago, but my kids say they work great.

Of some 44 years & is beginning to cough a lot. He tried giving up, turned into this incredibly grumpy man, WW111 almost erupted in our home.

Hi Gayle,As I understand it you can decrease the nicotine as you progress. It's supposed to help wean you off of the nicotine. A friend of mine told me he's worked his way down to zero nicotine, but he needs something to do with his hands and his "oral fixation."

Gayle,
Does your partner drink a lot of coffee? Or otherwise get a lot of caffeine? I tried several times to quit cigs, and always got incredibly nervous, irritable, etc. My doctor told me that nictine actually inhibits caffeine. So a smoker has to drink two cups of coffee for the effect of one. So the withdrawal nerves I was getting were actually caffeine poisoning. Cut back on the caffeine when I first stopped the next time, and was able to quit without turning into an ogre. Over 20 years off them now.

Any chance that you could put a DIY tutorial on how to knit kilt hose...a pattern...which needles to use--on this website? I found some wool in a thrift store and have plans to make a pair someday. Very nice work.

I think that is a top idea.

I'm picturing you walking around with all that and more stuffed in the tops of the hose all at once. Hmmm, this makes me think of something I should patent - the handyman's utility garter ties with holsters for all sorts of tools.

Funny how looking at youtube vids of electronic-pipes was what got me interested in actually trying out real tobacco pipes.
