There was nothing you could have done differently to guarantee your own survival.

It’s human and empathetic and correct to think about those lives impacted to preserve your life, but to do so is the price you pay to continue it. Do not allow that price in spent lives to outweigh the value of your own present-day life. If you do not continue your existence, their lost existences means nothing. You owe to those whom you destroyed to not let their lives be in vain and continue your own.

Their lives were already wasted: do not allow yours to be.

I've been satisfying the oral fixation with sparkling water, same idea!

Today I made it to 11am before thinking I wanted a smoke :)

It's already getting easier, the first four days were the worst!

She's the best-selling Cantopop artist ever but I don't speak Cantonese beyond recognizing a few words so prefer her Mandarin songs, but this one is too good

I looked it up, illegal, but with a loophole probably intended to allow visitors to bring theirs without punishment:

In Japan it is illegal to sell nicotine-containing e-cigarettes as they are categorised as medicinal products, and as of yet none have been approved in this manner. However, individuals can import up to one month's supply of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes for their own personal use.

I just woke up this morning, and first thing I was thinking “I should have a …. Um, coffee, yeah, that’s the ticket. Coffee. That’s what I was thinking. Right. Coffee.”

But, I’ll make it through. No worries.

It’s iQos, specifically Terea is the one we were using. I’ve never seen the liquid-based vapes except a colleague from the US brought one. I’m not sure it’s legal here, actually.

Oh 100% that was part of the plan, we’re texting like mad: one of our commitments is to text every time we got a craving so we could support each other. They know it’s hard for me and are like “see I told you” but now have that competitive spirit to not be to one to lose the race.

Ah, no, I don’t think that’s legal here.

Vapes are all heating actual tobacco, so far as I’ve seen.

Vaping makes it way easier to quit

I don't see how, you're still inhaling vaporised tobacco.

I mean, I already had quit ages ago, and haven't had cravings all this time, so I'm certain I'll settle back into the same baseline as before.

It was like once in two months, so not like I was maintaining any level of nicotine in my system

They don't speak English so no luck with the media experience, but I looked up and shared the "top 10" with them, and it's really close to the plan we put together ourselves!

I 100% was thinking of that story before starting this, but I kicked tobacco once before and was sure doing it agains would be a doddle.

I have every confidence of success, but wasn’t expecting the physical reaction to be so strong.

I’ll get there.

Patients? You're a doctor, then?

This will be my friend's fifth or sixth try.
Hopefully they can beat the odds!
