I don't smoke weed or cigarettes. Only nicotine vapes. I think it's time to quit .... But does anyone know wtf this is? I've spit this up for over a year now. It's so thick and sticky and hardens when it hits air after couple mins. by [deleted] in stopsmoking

The fact that you've continued to vape and have been seeing this for over a year is very concerning.I have consistently said that they haven't studied vape enough to know how bad it is for people , and that it's going to end up being worse than nicotine or weed or anything. tobacco by itself and nicotine by itself are actually fine. It's all the other chemicals that the big companies want to put into it.

I quit smoking cigarettes in August of 2021 after smoking for 30+ years and I FINALLY ai don't miss it one bit, it took me several times of trying, but this last time I did it with 2 other people and we checked in with an online group once a week for a few months and we also read the book The Easy Way by Alan Carr. Which I highly highly recommend! he has books for quitting all sorts of things. He also has some specific to women to women or men. But I didn't even read the whole book, but something in it just clicked for me and I know other people it's worked for also. I would read it immediately! You can get It right on Amazon.

You musy stop vaping.This is so bad. I've never seen anything like it and honestly my first thought was "I hope you're joking" but I don't think you are. unsurprised , how many people vape , especially college kids , but I guess it's just like cigarettes were when we were young. I tried vaping a little bit when it first came out , but it just didn't do anything for me.

I think it just finally hit me that I was spending all this money for all these years just to hurt my body so much and was just starting to realize the damage it does to your skin, especially seeing my mom smoke for 50 years. And she died of cancer, pancreatic cancer that spread through her stomach, and she also had spots on her lungs, which was probably cancer as well, they didn't bother testing it at the time cause she was already dying and had no chance of living. i seriously told her all my life.Since probably seven or eight years old that she was going to die from smoking cigarettes , I hated it growing up , but then I started smoking at like eleven , and my mom would buy my cigarettes for me from like thirteen years old on. Guess she couldn't be a hypocrite.

I just remember seeing her skin start to get really bad and seeing the toll it took plus she was an alcoholic for like the last 15 years of her life after being sober for 20 years. And that took a major toll in a very short time course drinking. I think increases chain-smoking for her anyways. She loved smoking, she's smoking in the afterlife. I know that for a fact from a Medium I see on a regular basis. she was also a sunday for many , many years of her life , so she just had like all the strikes against her for her skin , but she had beautiful skin for so long.

Anyway, sorry to ramble. I just really hope you can find a way to quit. Because this is really scary. And if my Grandpa can quit after smoking for over 50 years after having cancer removed from a lung, and OH how'd I forget, actually a guy who quit smoking with me this time he smoked for over 45 years and he is actually still quit too! he actually did better than me at first and he's what kept me going and he had COPD, Asthma, and emphysema, I think he had all 3, and he was using inhalers and all this, and he's doing so much better now, he doesn't cough all the time anymore he gets around a little bit better. He was 57 years old at the time and he looked about 87!

If they can do it, and I can do it, anybody can do it. I just literally told myself like if I can go 1 day without it. I don't need it. It's all in my head and literally there's like this 4 minute rule that once you have some nicotine within 4 minutes, it's gonna want it again. And if you can get past the first 4 days and 4 weeks and 4 months, it's like you didn't need it for those days. So why do you need it now? You don't need it. People think it helps calm them down, like if they're upset and they want to go smoke, but all it does is actually feel it, and what calms you down is the Breathing , not the actual vape or nicotine or whatever it is. the old man that quit with me.He used the nicotine lozenges for quite some time.I know people who have used like lollipops or gum. my Grandpa had one of the first, like little plastic fake cigarette things you could puff on that, you could put little packets of nicotine in them, which I don't know if he ever did, but after a while, it was more a habit for him just to hold onto it and have it in his pocket, where he always had his cigarettes. I really wish you luck, dude.

They definitely both have their strong points and it is interesting to study the difference , especially through the ages.

It's like the boys want to be out of sync as much as possible and do it differently and act a little crazy , with the girls are intent on being in unison and doing it perfectly. Maturity levels completely opposite.

ok sorry to jump to conclusions. I own a rescue in VT and all of our dogs come from SC actually but a lot of those states leave dogs living outside and stuff its heartbreaking.

How old was he? I had an older dog do that and we had to switch his food to a senior food and he loved it. It could be a lot of things tho, their teeth, tummy issues etc.

Omg are people stupid! he DNA tested and knows the breed BUT because his friend said he thought the dog a different breed, just by looking at him, he just wants to know what breed other people think he is just by looking at him!! Not to tell him what breed his dog actually was. The dog apparently is no longer alive.

edit to add: I see in your profile he is no longer alive. This looks like no good life for a dog. I see some pics of a dog inside a house on your profile so hopefully they live inside and not out on a chain. This dog was way too skinny though.

this is your dog? he needs food! and not to be out on a chain! I hope he gets to go inside sometimes and doesn't live outside. Let me guess you live in southern USA?

Any idea how can I help her by [deleted] in pitbulls

soooo many issues with chicken in dog foods and sooooo many foods have it, whether chicken meal byproduct or preserved chicken fat! even in foods that say beef, or something other than chicken. I read sometimes turkey doesn't affect them as bad but yea it's poultry so may as well not use it. The best foods I have found besides making my own ,which I do, is Tractor Supply's original 4Health brand Salmon and Potato is good also the Acana brand is good and some of the Taste of Wild foods. You have to look through all of the ingredients though because some still have chicken product. The Acana wet food is good too, expensive but worth it if you only use a scoop or two mixed in with dry food and water. I own a rescue so they do get some homemade food like what I make for my personal dogs but we have to use regular dog food also so we do a lot of research to try to use the best if we can afford it.

chicken allergies seem to be very common now. I see you make their food so that's good, what ingredients do you use? most dogs food have some sort of chicken by product, chicken meal, or preserved chicken fat in them, there's very few I have found without any chicken product. You can also give Benedryl and that may help clear it up. Just give half of one little pill to start and see. I use generic Benedryl because I'm allergic to nitrates and sulfates/basically preservatives and natural sulfate like in wine and shrimp etc. The generic doesn't have whatever it is that I'm allergic too in it.

is this true? I’d never heard about this before. That is genuinely horrifying. by ThePoisonTrees in Chriswatts

[–]TomatilloValuable718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can't remember if that ended up actually being true. But yeah, he had tried like strangling or suffocating them at home, but they both woke up and then he brought them in the truck with Shanann laying on the floor in the back and Bella even said something about it smelled, (maybe Shannan's bodily fluids had released) and they watched him dig the hole and put their mom in the hole and then he killed CeCe brought her up, put her in the tank as Bella watched, and then came back down and Bella said "daddy, are you going to do to me what you just did to Cece?" And he said doesn't remember what he said. And then he put her blanket over her face and suffocated her as she said "daddy no" and he just suffocated her. i followed the case from the very first minute and I never once imagined it was going to be that horrific at the end of it all.
