I did. I smoked from 1988 until 2010’ish and also chewed tobacco from '01 - '10 as well.

A friend had Strawberry Rhubarb vape so I tried it, loved it, then converted to vape. I slowly decreased the nicotine amount until it was 0-nic and then from there I started becoming more strict like no vaping at work, no vaping while driving until it got to the point where I just didn’t vape. Then I got bronchitis.

I got better and then began exercising more. I plateaued and saw a doctor. COPD.

Now I’m just depressed all the time because I apparently have Anhedonia to boot.

So I’m gambling with 20% of my take home in hopes one of these strategies has a huge payout so my wife and kid can be taken care of when I’m gone, which will likely be under a decade.

Yeah… I just remembered my History classes covering Ireland - it’s much better. And boy oh boy if I could afford taxi’s!

I would absolutely love to be in Ireland! Well, I mostly just want to sit and listen to the elderly talk about the days before they went to shit.
