For today, Iâve brought a question that can be both a fun nostalgic game and a great help and guide for current beginners.
Imagine you could send a message to the past: to your past self who was still smoking traditional cigarettes, and to the one who had just started vaping and didnât even know what it was all about.
What would you tell them with your current knowledge and experience?
If youâd like, also write why.
To my smoking self, I would say âEnough is enough, no more âlaterâ! You know well that this crap causes all your illnesses! If you donât switch now, youâre just wasting your own timeâŠâ
To my beginner vaping self, I would say âFinally, I see youâve read my previous message! You rock, Iâm proud of you, and keep it up! I know itâs tough now, but youâre okay, be strong because that crap will keep bothering you⊠Youâre on the right track, and even if what youâre using now doesnât seem like the best, remember it will only get better! With this, you have a chance to improve! Donât hesitate to ask for helpâŠâ
You are so stupid for starting to smoke just because you wanted to fit in with your classmates. If you knew what a great feeling it is to be choking on your own cough 14 years later.
To my beginner e-ciggy self, although this can be divided into 2 parts because I had a try back then for a solid 2 weeks.
Part 1
Iâm proud of you for trying to live a little healthier but you need a bit more determination because youâre still puffing that damn analog stick just the same next to the e-cig. Youâre not helping yourself with this, youâre harming yourself even more.
Part 2 Well, finally, after 1.5-2 months, you can say youâve overcome the analog stink-stick and youâre finally not choking. Donât forget, the analog is not a solution but a problem itself, the devil; donât even try to light one up in the future.
To my past self, who was still smoking traditional cigarettes:
âŠYou always hated cigarettes⊠as a competitive athlete, why the hell did you start⊠just because your girlfriend pushed it until you accepted it? Are you really that stupid?⊠Then you wonât be able to quit⊠this wonât end well⊠it will cause trouble if you donât stop⊠donât wait for it!
To my past self, who was just starting to vape:
You need to switch if you canât just put down the cigarettes! You canât wait any longer! You canât wait until smoking causes problems! You canât end up like your girlfriend, who you picked up the habit because of, and who is no longer with us due to smoking. Or your aunt⊠or your neighborâŠ.
Donât wait any longer, donât postpone it! Vaping will be something new, it will be interesting. It can only be better than analogues! Those delicious flavors, all those special gadgets! Step onto the path that others have already walked before you and succeeded! Ask for help, and youâll see, youâll get it! Start now and donât believe that you wonât succeed, because you will!
To my smoking self, I would say: âYouâre damn cool for rolling your own cigarettes! The feeling when you create an almost perfect cigarette in seconds without error is simply priceless. Too bad it stinks and good-tasting clove wrappers cost a fortune.â
And to my beginner e-cig self, I would say: âBrace yourself, because rolled cigarettes are nowhere near the variety of e-cig flavors. There are so many flavors that youâd never get to the end if you wanted to try them all. Pro tip! Itâs not necessary to buy liters of flavorings for your stash.â
I would tell my past smoking self that it was a shame you got addicted to cigarettes because you werenât accepted either way, even though you were looking for your place in the world. Forge your own path that those who feel the same way can follow. And itâs really a shame about the cigarettes because they ruined your health!
And to my beginner e-cigarette self, letâs create Vaperina as soon as possible because thereâs a huge need to unite the community and properly educate beginners!
